There is no country in the world we would not have relations with we are no ones enemy we don't hate people because they are a certain ethnic group we are not racists. We don't discriminate because they follow a certain faith now tell me why should Somaliland dislike the Jewish state Israel is one of the best arms manufacturers in the world they are also very advanced in technology. I see good deals coming in the future. i see no major difference having relations with Israel America or China . And i dont get why are you keep talking about recognition the author didn't even mention Somaliland nor its recognition. its seems you are more obsessed with recognition pirate boy there are only interests not emotions if Anwar al sadat could have relations with Israel after fighting with israel i am sure why Somaliland cant we had never any problems with the Jewish state.

1 minister from Somaliland 9 ministers from Somalia President Prime Minister Speaker All from Somalia Army chief Police chief all from Somalia adeeer maad naga daysid dee mise xisaabta kugu adag Not that Somaliland cares for positions in Somalia Waxa Somalia ha deeqdo laga ma xuma

Its good that you are disappointed:D No need for people to dehumanize the state of Israel, they haven't attacked Somaliland nor harmed a Somalilander ever. Now why should we be involved in this conflict the only thing we can do is bring them closer to each other and not pick sides. There more than 30% Arab muslims part of israel and are represented in the israeli knesset. The Israeli Palestinian conflict is a difficult one in the region but that should not stop Somaliland from forging relations with Israel.

Oday stop pretending:D Somaliland is not represented my friend, because we dont need to be represented because Somalia is not our country. By the way your government has 10 ministers, only one is from Somaliland lol Even the Koonfurians know that Somaliland is not there they just hope Somaliland to be there, buts not going to happen.

Oday Somali i am not sure if thats the intention of the TPLF ,the TPLF in their grand conference in 1994 made sure that Ethiopia is going to be a country of ethnic states. Their entire objective was to limit the Amhara linguistic and cultural hegemony over the rest of Ethiopia. So mixing song to Habeshisize Somalis is think out of order because it will contradict what the current Admin in the Menelik Palace is all about. Oday Somali i am more worried about the oromo expansion taking over more than 5 districts which belonged to Somali galbeed currently administrated by the oromo kilil. I do agree that the Somali culture and songs and folklore dances must be upheld. But that sort of mixing is i think very innocent. i find it very funny mixing to be honest the song Keene gar daran, most of the Lyrics are in Amharic but she says adiga aniga midkee, than she continues in Amharic and the dude says qaboojisey mise kululeyse lol

Mintid farayar good analysis. there its true its the pirates who are always fixated with The rest of the koonfurians particularly HAG and the gedo community are not concerned with Somaliland. True they are frustrated with Mr Hassan culusow and his policies thus misery loves company if you look it from that perspective. But you cant blame them really for to be fixated with Somaliland, Puntland role in Somalia is diminishing with the new goverment its becoming a small insignificant province, with no political weight. They also lost their agents in Xamar no more Prime Minsters in the federal government even the Pirate Minister in Xamar is dam jadiid:D So faroole's last desperate attempt was to make Somaliland an ally with his enclave. The sad part was his words were entirely ignored. Also how hassan culusow downplayed their role in the whole jubbaland project with one trip the gedo PM visited garowe. I am sure Oday is a pirate i used to think he was gedo community because he was to involved in southern Somalia but it makes sense now.

No why should he be arrested as long as he doesn't take part of conferences saying he is representing his clan or Somaliland he can say what he wants. But i am sure the news is not true or else every one would have mentioned it,suldaan maxammad is very close to me

Yes him and Boqr raabi and the Garaad of widhwidh all took part of the arta conference and were arrested when they returned. Suldaan maxammad was locked up for almost a year by the cigaal admin back than.

I am still looking for another source, togaherer the closest they have always audio's when ina dhabeye supported first the war against khatumo and than later said lets stop the war. They have always an audio of him, it doesnt add up i swear i saw him 7 days ago saying something else. i am still looking for another source but non of the Somaliland websites are reporting it not even qarannews and not waaheen.

Mugabe voted

I thought Oday was from the gedo community , but he talked about Puntland several times when we were discussing so he might be a pirate , i am convinced he is not from the HAG community. The HAGs are mostly neutral on Somaliland nor hostile towards Somaliland,thats why always assumed he was from the gedo community.

Mr Robert mugabe is changing zimbabwe a new constitution democracy taking place, i hope he lives long Mr Mugabe, one of the last true remaining African leaders.

Zimbabwe votes in a referendum on new Constitution Voting was underway in Zimbabwe on Saturday in a referendum on a new Constitution — a crucial milestone in the political development of the crisis-weary African country. The new Constitution grants more power to Parliament and offers additional rights to women but would not hinder President Robert Mugabe, 89, from running for high office again. He has been at the helm of Zimbabwe since its independence in 1980. With both Mr. Mugabe’s Zanu-PF party and arch rival Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) having thrown their weight behind the draft document, the referendum is expected to easily pass. Some non-governmental groups charge that the document does not go far enough in supporting civil liberties and say that the impunity of the security forces has yet to be addressed. However, they failed to garner resources to launch a “no” campaign. The Constitution will pave the way for Presidential and General Elections later this year, which will likely end the coalition between Zanu-PF and two MDC factions in place since 2009. The coalition was formed under pressure from regional powers following violent elections in 2008, with much of the abuse targeting the MDC. The 9,456 polling stations across the country will be open from 7 a.m. (0500 GMT) until 7 p.m. Provisional results are expected on Sunday and the final results later in the week. Voter turnout in the southern African nation of 12 million is not expected to be high, owing to political apathy and an expectation that the referendum will pass.

How so he attended the conference organized In djibouti in 2000, him and garaad abshir together went to that conference and said they wanted a share of Somalia. But i doubt this news is true , cigaal locked him up for a year , rayaale locked him up for a few months. Ina dhabeyee is not considered a man of weight as how his ancestors were once the leaders of Somaliland.

i am still waiting for an source or at least an audio, so we can listen to it

Waranle are you that desperate to have Somaliland , cant Somalia survive with out Somaliland:D Somaliland will not change its stands on its statehood not now not in 100 years not in 1000 years. When will people get it

I doubt this story is true because non of the Somaliland websites are mentioning it , and even if it was it would not change anything do you know how many times this guy spend in prison because he took part of the carta conference back in 2000. No one takes ina dhabeye serious when it comes to politics, he is not like his grandfather oo talo goyn jiray.

Somalia is not like Djibouti Ethiopia south Africa and Kenya Rwanda South Sudan there is a clear political distinction Somalia in her constitution claims that Somaliland is part of her sovereignty as long as thats the case. No goverment official of Somalia can visit Somaliland. But if the 2 countries restored relations than there would not be a problem.We should wait for the next phase of talks between Somaliland and Somalia and what comes out of that.

You mean Kenyan officials in Somaliland well since Somaliland has a diplomatic office in Nairobi, there is no problem there with the Kenyans.

He was not on transit he was flying with star african air which has direct flies from berbera to Mogadishu from dubai, it takes like an hour to wait in the plane before it takes of from berbera to Xamar. The man deliberately got off the plane and sat at Berbera airport, he is not a citizen of Somaliland nor a normal citizen of Somalia or any other country. But a official from Somalia he should know better.

Abdi cawar failed as a politician failed as a leader failed in Puntland now he is like a gypsy traveling in qurbaha with single mothers attending his welcomings parties. What a failure just dont get why some would dedicate a song to cabdi cawar. It just doesn't add up , cabdi cawar should just go back to the states and try a new hobby.
