Somaliland:Mixed Signals on the Future of Somaliland/Somalia Talks Signing of Ankara Comminque By M A EGGE Sirens that are being sounded do not augor well for the future of SL/Somalia relations. Given the manner of Somali president’s vow in his speech that he swore to defend what he termed as the “Three Ds” and that he would not “accept anything less than (any thing short of) those spelt out in the vows”, three perturbing issues arise. Firstly it goes against the spirit of the past three (London, Dubai and Ankara) accords. Secondly it is a vow on what is unjustified (quite illegal) and, thirdly and worst of all, it is a blunt threat to our sovereignty – thus a sort of outright declaration of war. He described the three “Ds’ as Diinta, Dadka and Dalka (loosely translated from Somali they mean -religion, people and land) to remain as one. He openly and practically claimed the whole of all the territorial lands of Somaliland by saying he has to unite (at all costs) the land from Ras Asayr to Rascamboni. He did not say how nor did he rule out war! He was talking as if the former Somalia regime had signed a MoU on the Charter of Union! What a false oath!. As bold and as pragmatic as this column has always been, we take to affirm that SL’s case is both technically and practically legally based. Now that the turn of events have charted out talks as a way settling out issues between Hargeisa and Mogadishu the core matter should be upper most all minds. In other words the bone of contention that is at stake, is one that concerns the legal rights of millions of people, whose aspirations gingerly rests upon. This aspiration so dear to them, we repeat, is of a legal conjecture, notwithstanding the nature of politicking doing rounds. For the talks to succeed, and for that matter to fruitful conclusion, SL should be bold and unequivocal on the crux of the matter. We do not know nor understand whether the southerners are trying to sabotage the future talks. The Dubai and Ankara talks made it clear that both sides should refrain from derailing the talks hence do all necessary efforts to avert such. When a principal of the talks and his lieutenants indulge in such age-old drumbeats of doom, then, the future of the talks may as well be off-road. On the same note, it is quite sad, that given the Wednesday/Thursday live transmission of the London Somalia celebration till past midnight by almost all Somali TV stations e.g HCTV, UNIV, SOMNATION, etc), not even one Somaliland media-house dared to point out the graveness of the matter. It is equally sad that it had to be the Turkish foreign ministry that interpreted the meaning, inclinations and insinuations of the blared horns whose sirens portend repercussive reverberations. It is to this effect that SL should set its mind straight and re-affirm, revitalized, re-assure and revamp her people and resources, politically or otherwise. Somalilandpress.com

^^ former President Tuur Should be an example for them.

I wonder if Mr Cameron was getting or giving the pirating lessons? Enough is enough, this is getting really ******. Giving all this money away is obscene Well it's a hell of a lot cheaper than sending Cameron over there, although I'd rather send him there and hope he never came back It would be better to provide a few warships to prevent attacks by their pirates on our shipping, than to give them money which only helps to prop up the government,and will never get to the needy of Somalia. :D:D

President hassan is living large lol

Somalilanders are celebrating their achievements their peace their stability their prosperity their democracy no amount of African union troops will built you a nation you remain the most failed nation in the world. Recognition from the United states still doesn't make you an independent nation maybe on paper but your prime minister is still escorted by general Bahuku even if he has to take a sh1T lol

Wasn't this posted before. The guy does not even have a question he made a fool out him self.

The zack horta are wardaay Somali or not?

What u mean more mature, why does Somaliland need to be mature when dealing with Koonfurians, they can celebrate their day in their country but they can celebrate with the SL people 18 may they are welcome.

Because 18 may isnt a bad day for Koonfurians had their independence day be another day than that would have not been a problem

^^ They can celebrate it in their own country

^^^First of July is a dark day for the people of SL its the day the naive emotional unqualified SL leaders in the 50s sold the SL sovereignty.

^^ No

^^ What are you talking about i dont know this Cushitic crap never believed east Africans are related to the old King kush its a false linguistic description. We are talking about south sudan and the dinka brothers.

Lol:D I doubt that has something to do with this nice casho:D But we shall see

These people talada Kismayo waxba laga ma weydinayo other groups now are the stake holders of Kismayo.

Thats wishful thinking faisal is meeting a man he can cooperate with it and pragmatical Somalia leader, remember they previously met in Ankara. And this meeting was just an unofficial informal meeting. The only written rule we have is that you cannot visit Somaliland if you hold a position in Somalia and you cannot visit Somalia if you hold a position in Somaliland. But they can meet in other foreign countries its all good for the talks in 2 months time. Dont get why some folks are getting excited faisal is still the same man who said Ethiopians are closer to me than Koonfurians lol

Bal weynu eegi how is xamar faisals city ?

Nuune sultan faisal met culusow in ankara to and culusow did not say midnimada Somalia wa muqadis and even if he said that Somaliland was never part of Somalia, it was part of the Somali republic union, koonfurians need to use the right name when they talk about the union. I have listened to culusow and he said Midnimada Somaliya wa lama tabtaan not muqadis. but this is normal he believes that, remember he was speaking to a certain audience. They just had a casho i dont think its a big issue, Sultan faisal met sh sharif to before the talks happened in. Nuune the day sultan faisal goes to xamar is the day the pope goes to a pilgrimage to mecca:D I think its just an innocent informal casho

Nuune what do you think of the Picture your self I see Sultan faisal with hassan culusow and Fawziya and they are smiling.

^^ Somali nationalism died when Djibouti gained independence and the S rebel movements started springing up left right:D

Where did he say that do you have a video? Although its just words even if he said that but its not showing the middle finger, he cannot show SL the middle finger he has not the means to do that. See what he and Somaliland share are the talks thats the only thing they share. He can only walk away from the talks and let the talks collapse. Its like when Sultan faisal says hassan is a damul jadiid sect group and controls just a few towns in Somalia. Trust me hassan knows his enemies and they are those who are escorting the Kikuyus into Somalia. But both hassan and sultan faisal need to honer the 7 points agreed in Ankara.

The Somaliland independence will also be held in Somalia's capital Mogadishu this year, it will be held in all the 5 Somali speaking countries Somalia Mogadishu Kenya Ethiopia Djibouti.
