2 guys opposed it and one guy said lets talk to the koonfurians. But they have their reasons these men cherish Somaliland statehood more than anything, but the people of Somaliland completely trust President Siilaanyo.

Apophis;908051 wrote: In fact I would think a better strategy for Mogadishu would be to support all those who wish to re-unite with the republic and then the few regions left will have to re-join. You can't make a country out of 2 regions. The negotiations should be with those who wish to secede the secessionist, if you get my meaning. I dont think the government in Mogadishu can do a better job than Puntland when fighting for those regions. Mogadishu has to appease the semi autonomous state of Puntland which lays some claims of eastern sool and eastern sanaag. So by supporting them he would also anger Mr faroole. But right now Somaliland controls the vast majority of those regions there is no way Hassan sheikh will waste his resources with that he must secure the lower shabelle and parts of bay and bakool and the middle juba region.

Taleexi awoow its not going to work like that but if hassan culusow represents you in the upcoming talks you should be on his side when talking to Siilaanyo , xaglatoosiye made his choice now the choice is you'res. Hassan sheikh maxamuud will do the talking for Somalia and he said it clearly that he is talking to Somaliland and Somaliland the state that united with Somalia on first of July 1960. He clearly stated that 52 years ago the former Somali republic was conceived with a Somaliland state and a Somalia state. And now we need re negotiate the union those were the words of the president and we welcome that.

Apophis;908039 wrote: They could speak out everytime the Junta in H-town decide to go on rampage against the locals of that region. The Somali government is buddying up to a state which says it does not want to be part of Somalia and ignoring one which is fighting for the right to be part of Somalia. The least the government in Mogadishu can do is bring up the issue of Khaatumo in the on-going negotiation with S-LAND. But if they support anti SL rebels that would mean they are jeprodizing the future talks with Somaliland and thats something the folks in xamar dont want to risk. Imagine if the talks fail than the IC needs to facilitate new talks and it will take lots of time again and the new govt in xamar will have another foe in the region Somaliland. Raising ur concern will not help khatumo so why do that and than further push away the SL govt.

Somaliland: ‘East Africa’s Red Sea Corridor – Could it become a Major Energy Hub? Sunday, 13 January 2013 16:28 In light of its geographical position, long coastline and deep sea ports, Somaliland is strategically positioned to be one of East Africa's major energy supply bases and play a key role in the regions energy future. By: Jieun Wrigley DUBAI (Somalilandsun) - Africa is increasingly becoming a Energy Minister Eng Husein delivering his key note speechmajor player in the world oil & gas game. Its proven oil reserves topped 132 Billion barrels in 2011 and are 9% of world reserves. Oil production stood last year at 8.8BBOD (10%) of world production. Current proven gas reserves are nearly 14.5 TCM (7% of world reserves) and gas production is up to 202 BCMD (6.17%). These reserves and production numbers is currently dominated by West and North African countries, but that is all about to change once recent oil & gas discoveries in East Africa such as in Mozambique, Uganda, Madagascar and recently Kenya come online. Recent world class oil & gas discoveries in East Africa have triggered a renewed interest in E&P companies to flock to the region to participate in its hydrocarbon riches. These discoveries are just the tip of the iceberg since huge swaths of East Africa's basins are still frontier areas that are just starting to open up and have seen little or no exploration. Many potential areas in the region have yet to see the drill bit. The Horn of Africa region in particular with major discoveries all around it have been ignored by in large until now and have yet to be explored. However, exploration activities in my home country, Somaliland, are beginning to pick up. License holders such as Genel Energy and Ophir energy are set to embark on a major exploration program this year and the following ones that could add up to the burgeoning oil & gas discoveries in the East African region in the not too distant future. Other E&P companies are actively pursuing new licenses in Somaliland as well and are in talks with us. Given its huge potential, the East African region has the capacity to become the new Middle East and some of this massive hydrocarbon potential once discovered and produced has to come to shore to ship to world markets. This will require huge investments in infrastructure such as pipelines, LNG trains, processing plants and shipping terminals. The next two decades will see major foreign investment inflows to develop the region's hydrocarbon assets. This investment in infrastructure is necessary if East Africa is to realize the full commercial and economic advantages of its new found hydrocarbon wealth. Building such an oil & gas infrastructure will require close cooperation and collaboration between the region's landlocked and coastal countries. New bilateral deals have to be struck between these countries to create new energy corridors in the region. Besides its high probability for oil & gas deposits, East Africa's Red Sea coast sits across one of the world's busiest maritime lanes that connect the Suez Canal and the massive Asian shipping routes. Nearly 21,000 vessels pass thru the Gulf of Aden (formally called the gulf of Berbera, named after the Port of Berbera in Somaliland). Countries with deep sea ports and long coastlines in the region such as Somaliland are ideally located to serve as an energy portal and supply bases for neighboring landlocked countries in East and Central Africa to receive, process, store and ship all that oil & gas. In addition to hydrocarbon energy, countries in the region such Ethiopia have also massive hydroelectric capacity. Ethiopia alone has the capacity for hydropower development of nearly 45,000 MW. There is also a massive untapped geothermal potential in East Africa in the Great East African Rift system countries that has the potential to generate 2,500 MW of geothermal energy. This combined energy potential of the region is only 250 km across the Gulf of Aden from the Middle East where subsea pipelines and cables can connect to Asia as part of a great Middle East/ East Africa energy network. In light of its geographical position, long coastline and deep sea ports, Somaliland is strategically positioned to be one of East Africa's major energy supply bases and play a key role in the regions energy future.

I am now hearing rumors that talks will be held in Kenya early february

Somaliland oo shuruud ku xirtay sii socoshada Wadahadallada Xal-doonka ah ee ay kula jirto Dowladd Soomaaliya Axad, Jannaayo 13, 2013 (HOL) — Somaliland ayaa sheegtay inay ka qayb-geli doonto wajiga labaad ee wadahadallada u dhexeeya iyada iyo dowladda Soomaaliya, balse waxay ka digtay in lagu soo daro xubno matalaya Soomaaliya mas’uuliyiin kasoo jeeda Somaliland. Wasiirka arrimaha dibadda ee Somaliland, Maxamed Cabdullaahi Cumar oo ka hadlay wadahadlalada furmi doonaan ayaa sheegay inay dhankooda aad u soo dhaweynayaan, balse aysan ogolaan doonin in lagu soo daro xubno kasoo jeeda maamulkooda oo ka socda dowladda Soomaaliya. “Ma ogolaan doonno in wadahadallada ay kasoo qaybgalaan xubno kasoo jeeda dhankeenna oo matalaya Soomaaliya. Waxayna Wadahadalladan daba-joogaan wadahadalladii ka dhacay London iyo Dubai sannadkii hore,” ayuu yiri Cumar. Dowladdii KMG ahayd ee Soomaaliya iyo Somaliland ayaa sannadkii hore bartamihiisa waxay wadahadalladii ugu horreeyay muddo labaatan sano ka badan uga furmeen magaalada London, iyadoo madaxweyne Siilaanyo iyo madaxweynihii hore, Sheekh Shariif ay iyaguna isku arkeen magaalada Dubai ee dalka Imaaraadka Carabta iyagoo ku baaqay inay wadahadalladu sii socdaan. Wasiirka arrimaha dibadda ee Somaliland ayaa wuxuu hadalkiisan kusoo beegmay xilli ra’iisul wasaaraha Soomaaliya, Cabdi Faarax Shirdoon uu isna shaaca ka qaaday inay dib u billaaban doonaan wadahadlaldii u dhexeeyay dowladda Soomaaliya iyo Somaliland. “Rajo weyn ayaan ka qabaa inay wadahadalladaas kasoo bixi doonaan natiijooyinka wanaagsan,” ayuu yiri ra’iisul wasaare Saacid oo intaas ku daray in dhankooda ay diyaar u yihiin inay la hadlaan walaalahooda Somailland. Lama oga go’aanka ay dowladda Soomaaliya ka qaadanayso shuruudda ay ku xirtay Somaliland wajiga labaad ee wadahadallada u dhexeeya Somalia iyo Somaliland, iyadoo la ogyahay in wasiiradda arrimaha dibadda Somaila,Fowziyo Yuusuf Xaaji Aadan ay kasoo jeeddo Somaliland. Somaliland ayaa waxay ku dhawaaqday inay Soomaaliya inteeda kale ka go’day sannadkii 1992-kii, iyadoo tan iyo xiligaas dadaal ugu jirtay in loo aqoonsado dowlad ka madaxbannaan Soomaaliya, balse taasi ma hirgelin.

Why not change the capital to Garowe than the Unukas will be happy the puntians will be happy problem solved.

If they could resist the Romans than they would atleast resist the Muslims to Sasanid Empire wasn't an ancient old Empire they fought here and there the Romans and stood their ground but were able to regroup and than there was a gap of peace between the 2 empires. So its hard to believe that they were just rotten from with in and just overpowered by the Muslims that easily.Also in north Africa its well noted that the north African tribes fought against the Muslim conquerors some were Christians it wasn't as easy as you described.

Thats what modern historians say that the Byzantine empire were weakened the same with the sasanid of the Persians but its not entirely true we could say that with out islam the sasanid Empire would have still ruled in much of their territories. Later the Rashidun and Umayad conquered north Africa which was not Arabland. Much of the Arab territory was under prophet Muhammad the rashidun and umayad did the expansion.
