Somaliland president set to fly to UAE in order to meet his Somali Counterpart. Hargeisa-Somaliland president Ahmed Mohamed Silanyo accompanied by delegation set to embark trip to United Arab Emirates on Friday. The president along with the delegation is supposed to be on board on special plane that the EAE is sending in order to carry Somaliland delegation to the UAE. Once the president and the delegation he is heading set foot on the UAE soil, Somaliland president is expected to confer with his Somali counterpart, Hassan Sh. Mohamud. Reports indicate that the United Arab Emirates is hosting the first meeting of its kind that will bring together Somaliland and Somali president to hold face to face meeting. News reports further say that the two heads of states set to meet at venue that lies in the outskirts of Dubai which the UAE arranged. Then it is said that the two presidents will see where they can further proceed with the ongoing talks between Somaliland and Somalia. The talks between the two presidents will come at time that the Somali Provisional government demanded the US government to grant immunity to the Mohamed Ali Samatar in which a court in the US found guilty of crimes against humanity. The Somaliland government came under fire for the way it spoke about the appeal made by Somali provisional government and not to taking diplomatic stance.

AU Somali force readies for possible Ethiopia pullout Thursday, March 21, 2013 African Union forces battling Islamist insurgents in Somalia are preparing troops to take over should Ethiopia withdraw more soldiers from the region, their commander said Thursday. "We have in place contingent measures to ensure that areas in Bay and Bakool...remain stable and secure in the event of further Ethiopian troop withdrawals," said Andrew Gutti, commander of African Union Mission for Somalia (AMISOM), referring to southwest Somali regions currently controlled by Ethiopia. Ethiopian troops, the strongest military power in Somalia's southwest ever since their November 2011 invasion, pulled out of the town of Hudur on Sunday, the capital of Bakool region. Hours later, Somalia's Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab swept into the town, their most important territorial victory for over a year. The capture prompted jubilant celebrations, which included the beheading of an influential cleric in the town. Despite a string of losses in recent months, the Shebab remain a potent threat, still controlling rural areas as well as carrying out guerrilla attacks in areas apparently under government control. Somali militia forces allied to the Ethiopians, as well as a column of some 2,000 terrified civilians, fled shortly after the Ethiopian pullout. Security sources say the withdrawal from Hudur could signal a wider pullout of Ethiopian forces including from the key city of Baidoa, warning that if this happens, the 17,000-strong AMISOM would be hugely overstretched. AMISOM, which fights alongside Somali government forces, "is closely monitoring developments following the withdrawal of Ethiopian troops from Hudur," the force said in a statement. "We are conducting a review of our troop deployments...and remain confident that there will be sufficient coverage," Gutti added. Security sources say that AMISOM would struggle at its current capacity to take over Ethiopian positions, while Somali troops who have worked closely with Ethiopian troops might not necessarily cooperate so well with other forces. So far, Hudur is the only major town Ethiopians have pulled out of, but troops are also packing kit in Baidoa in apparent preparation to leave. Ethiopian troops entered Somalia in late 2011 to attack Shebab bases, shortly after Kenyan troops invaded Somalia from the far south. While Kenyan troops have since joined AMISOM, Ethiopia remained separate. Source: AFP

Not if oromos are divided into 3 sections than Somalia will be galla free, the Somali constitution needs to be corrected when it comes to citizenship.

Xiinfaniin the Pirates always love to create a D vs H in order to win some sort of leverage at the backs of others particularly the Gedo Community. But its not going to happen these clanish some times sub clanish political cards work on the Azanians who are desperate for some sort of alliance with pirates. But you have to understand the Gedo Community they live in the far south far away from the Pirates their interests lies close to he HAG and the may may community President hassan,saacid and Jawaari. Problem is the Pirates are toothless now and they try to come into Kismayo by using clan cards but it wont work. Because the second in command of Somalia is from Gedo if the Prime Minister was cabdi cawar or some one else ilma Budhlayn would have sang a different song.

Never called the Pirate state the enemy clan where do you get that from there is no enemy clan at all its just interests. The pirates love stealing the Somalilanders love locking them up. As for President hassan relations are cool between Mogadishu and Hargeisa.

Xiin is confused are you Somalia or are you not?

President of Somalia Hassan culusow has played his cards well remember how one day before the opening of the conference of Kismayo the Prime Minister spoke and called it unconstitutional. As long as the gedo faction is not on board including the major stakeholders the gedo administration Mr kalil and the rest there will not be a jubbaland federal state declaration.There is so little the Kenyans can do when it comes state building remember how Hassan and his goverment told the Kenyans to back off when it comes to state building of Kismayo. They will not be involved,, ASWJ and Ximan iyo Xeeb are now part of the government the ASWJ gedo faction are fully part of the SNA army. The goverment has the same plan for Ahmed madoobe and his raskambooni Militia.

PKK leader calls for ceasefire in Turkey Turkish PM calls declaration by jailed Abdullah Ocalan a "positive development" in ending decades-old conflict. Last Modified: 21 Mar 2013 17:40 Abdullah Ocalan, the jailed Kurdish rebel leader, has issued a long-awaited ceasefire declaration that would be a major step towards ending a 30-year conflict that has cost around 40,000 lives in Turkey. The ceasefire, announced on Thursday and which coincides with the Kurdish New Year, or Newroz, also calls for the withdrawal of PKK likely to bases in northern Iraq. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish prime minister, said the ceasefire call was a "positive development". "There are groups that are fed by terror in our country. This process will ruin their game." he said, speaking during a visit to the Netherlands. In Ocalan's letter, read out by members of parliament, Pervin Buldan, in Kurdish, and Sirri Sureyya Onder, in Turkish, the PKK leader said: "Let guns be silenced and poltics dominate. "The stage has been reached where our armed forces should withdraw beyond the borders ... It's not the end. It's the start of a new era." The statement was read out to a sea of red-yellow-green Kurdish flags, in the Kurdish-majority city of Diyarbakir, where hundreds of thousands gathered for celebrations. Erdogan expressed his disappointment because there were no Turkish flags at the Newroz celebrations in Diyarbakir. "This is a provocative approach by the circles who wants to influence the process in a negative way," he said. Ocalan's ceasefire is likely to be in return for wider constitutional recognition and language rights for Turkey's up to 15 million Kurds. The peace plan is the result of written consultations between Ocalan, pro-Kurdish legislators and PKK bodies in Europe and northern Iraq, under the close monitoring of Turkish agents. Kurdish legislators say Ocalan might ask for commissions to be established to properly monitor the ceasefire, and call for safe passage for fighters wishing to leave Turkey. 'Political career' Erdogan and Ocalan both appear to have staked their political futures on the renewed push to end the conflict. Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr, reporting from Diyarbakir, said Erdogan had made no secret that he was eyeing the presidency. "He will need to amend the constitution and would like to increase the powers of the president. He can not do that without the support of the Kurdish party, the BDP." Erdogan said he was putting his faith in the peace process "even if it costs me my political career", in the face of accusations that Ankara was making concessions to Ocalan. Ocalan, known as "Apo," has said he wants peace for the greater good of his people. "Consider Apo dead if this process fails. I am simply out," the burly 64-year-old was quoted as saying in a rare prison meeting with Kurdish legislators last month. Hard road ahead If a ceasefire holds, the path to disarmament, and the reintegration of PKK fighters, will still be long and vulnerable to sabotage. The fate of Ocalan also remains uncertain, but any move to release him would be strongly opposed by critics who see any settlement as threatening Turkish unity. The prospect of talks with the PKK has outraged many Turks who revile Ocalan and hold him personally responsible for the bloodshed.

The overall Somali population is around 16 Million the Somali people are very small to encourage multiculturalism when you have 43 Million oromos breeding like rabbits. Walaalkeen Che is an enemy of the Somali race hadhow bashtun Somali ku hadlayaa ayaa Somali sheegan raba.We cant have that or those Gallas next door or the midget shisha Yemenis. i say Somali citizenship is for a Person who is an ethnic Somali and those who are closely related to them like the Somali Bantus other than that its unacceptable.

I heard the sdc was involved in the genel oil exploration deal to ,siciid do you have info on that.

Well the country cant afford another Kulmiye the nations needs to move forward. i don't think Ciiro will bring anything new than the old Politics. Somaliland needs new blood a group of technocrats who have a good grasp how international politics works and have the ability to move this nation forward on all fields. Ofcourse Sultan faisal is not a real politician but he will be behind the political curtains maybe:D

Its the old generation politicians like Buuba dheeg and general Maxammad qaalib who have that feeling and that strong attachment to Somalia, but the new generation is not like that and want their fair share with in the SL political atmospherics. its funny the opinion Koonfurians have of sanddwellers is that its the most laandhere clan in Somaliland, well ofcource once upon a time they all kissed the ring. Wadani the sandwellers are by nature expansionist its rooted in their history. Ceelka Bulaale is the dhagaxbuur district, as for taking part of conferences the Likes of Suldaan Maxammad have no credibility, he is not like his predecessors,problem with Suldaan Maxamamd sometimes tries to act like Suldaan Somaliyeed. And ofcourse the most well known outspoken Politician in Somaliland is Faisal ali waraabe, i think if jamaals becomes President he will be the Ayatollah behind Jamaal the glory will come back the sandwellers just need to connect dots. Its also because Somaliland domestic politics stinks the sandwellers dont like that, they are used to be the leaders and the other clans want to take bigger shares and thats one of the problems.

Wadani its because the sand dwellers were the kings of Somaliland for centuries other Somaliland clans despised their hegemony over Somalilanders. But the sandwellers are not shisheeye kalkaal ma nimanka ceelka bulaale geelooda ka dul waraabiyey. Sultan diiriye was the best Somaliland king who lived in the 19 century a giant among men the sanddwellers just need a man like Sultan diiriye in the 21 century to become President of Somaliland and lead the nation into glory in the line of Sultan Diiriye Sultan Nur dhagocun and the legendary xuseen xassan. The clan just needs to find its self back the Sultans of Somaliland were the one who expanded the territory in deep inside Ethiopia. Muxu yidhi Xuseen xassan taladu wa dhaxal awoow.

Wadani we cant know for sure how Koonfurians deal with this issue but in Somaliland you are a Somalilander if you are descendant of a person from Somaliland paternally. Hadi kale ilma Tyrese ba ina sheegaan doona.

I think there is some truth in it they talked , whether they will attend eventually is another issue. But the the elders have been invited.
