Taleexi is right he needs to be fully represented with in the SL government the Garaad clan doesn't hold the speaker of the parliament like they used to in the past. Perhaps we should relocate the country's capital to Laascaanood to satisfy the eastern citizens of our country.

No one takes Buumadow serious his own clan doesn't even consider him as an elder.

Somaliland: Kulmiye Chairman Meets With Rt Hon. Tony Baldry MP at Westminster Tuesday, 06 March 2012 19:50 The two politicians during their meeting at WestminsterBy: Mohamed Aden Hassan LONDON (Somalilandsun) — Kulmiye Party Chairman, HE Muse Biihi Abdi, met with Rt Hon Tony Baldry Conservative MP for North Oxfordshire. Among several MPs, Baldry shows great interest in matters concerning Somalia and Somaliland and looks determined to find an enduring solution for the challenges facing the Somali people in the Horn of Africa. Ahmed Adare, a party member and a businessman, was also present at the gathering. The meeting was organized as part of Muse's efforts to promote the Republic of Somaliland as a democratic state and attract foreign investment/ors to the country. With that in mind the discussion concentrated on the following key areas: Investment It is no secret that Somaliland has many investment worthy resources ready for utilization. As pointed out by Baldry, "there are obvious straightforward investment opportunities in oil and gas, mineral resources as well as the port of Berbera". The question remains what is holding Somaliland back in exploring these natural resources? Eager to understand how Somaliland can capitalize on these prospects Muse asked "what is expected from us as a government to attract investors and interested parties"? Baldry suggested "the government of Somaliland has to have a process of engagement and inclusion in place, which allows local people to benefit from the developments in their own area and have a say during consultations to avoid potential dissent". Baldry continued, "foreign investors would like to know what the criteria for investments are, such as necessary investment capital, skills etc?" If these do not exist at the moment the government needs to put them in place "to ensure that it is safe to invest in Somaliland" In total agreement with Baldry's suggestions, Muse reassured the North Oxfordshire MP that "Somaliland has gone beyond the territorial clan disputes". The chairman insisted "our government needs investors with huge amount of capital who can "cook the dish" earlier without wasting a lot of time". Formal international registry Another important aspect that deserves a close attention is the great need for a formally constituted international registry that ensures access to minerals to national or foreign bidders in Somaliland, which has yet to be implemented. Such a registry will ensures that potential investors meet certain financial and technical capabilities and knowhow to be entitled for obtaining a permit to explore or a concession to exploit oil and gas for example. Bardly pointed out that a formal registry is important as it further addresses "force majeure claims, which were granted under the Siad Bare regime" that need to be dealt with adequately. Joining the Commonwealth The possibility of becoming part of the Commonwealth was discussed at the meeting. It was agreed that Somaliland should consider joining the Commonwealth Nations and put in a formal application to the organization. Given the historical ties with Britain and its commitment to peace and democracy over the past 20 years, "I see no reason why Somaliland cannot become a member" said Baldry. The meeting highlighted some common themes, which need critical attention. A safe and friendly enabling business environment, which is conducive to international standards that not only attracts foreign investment but also includes and engages the local people, appears highly desirable. Somaliland must address these matters urgently and build on its strong foundation and institutions. By joining the Commonwealth, Somaliland could enter a new era of establishing new links and strengthening existing ones with its 54 member states. Admission could perhaps also be a gateway to its long cherished ambition of becoming a sovereign state.

Good stuff this was really needed especially in places like wajaaale kala baydh aw barkhadle and other parts of togdheer and sanaag.

Somali Business Community Says Commerce Can Drive Political Reconciliation 5 MARCH 2012 Leading figures from the Somali business community have called for aid organisations to invest in business and infrastructure to combat problems gripping Somali territories. This week Somali business officials, NGO representatives and experts on the region gathered in the House of Commons to discuss their role in fostering development within the Somali region. In response to the recent London conference on Somalia, the eleventh-hour assembly entitled Somalia: Business as usual? - hosted by the Royal African Society and introduced by Rt. Hon. Alun Michael MP - offered an alternative debate focusing on how Somalia's booming business, trade and investment activities can be used to help the region stage its own recovery from the many political problems that have plagued it for over twenty years. Speaking at the assembly, Abdirashid Duale, the CEO of Somalia's largest private employer, Dahabshiil, said: "Somalia's future lies in its economy. The lifeblood of every Somali is trade, so the most important thing for the region is for enterprise to flourish. Despite the recent milestone conference on Somalia, the greatest challenges remain ahead. "The international community should recognise what is working within the Somali community and harness that. Business growth can serve as a catalyst for political development and vice versa. Despite problems of security and instability, Somalis have already demonstrated ? through the successes of key sectors such as livestock, money transfer and, more recently, telecoms ? that Somali territories are fertile grounds for trade and commerce." In regions where the political climate is stable, business confidence is strong. During the assembly meeting many commentators expressed the view that Somaliland?s growing economy can help to encourage political stability across the region by demonstrating economic viability. Business leaders called for practical solutions such as assistance with investment and job creation as a means to protect vulnerable Somalis, particularly younger generations. The London conference brought together some of the world's most influential leaders - including the UN Secretary General and over 50 governments and international organisations ? to demonstrate commitment and coordination for a new international approach to tackle Somalia's problems. However, despite addressing a range of issues including terrorism, piracy, food shortage and the political vacuum affecting the region, the role of business and how the public sector can learn from the private sector was curiously overlooked. Richard Dowden, Director of the Royal African Society and Chair of the assembly meeting, said: "Britain's current fixation with security and aid in Somalia has meant that business, trade and investment were omitted from the conference's agenda. In response to the conference and perhaps in some ways a reflection of these fears, it is imperative to stress Somalia's success in maintaining global connectivity linked to remittances and investment. We believe investment in business is the best way to fuel the country?s recovery and help restore stability.? During the assembly meeting, business leaders concurred that livestock remains the mainstay of the Somali economy, while new sectors such as money transfer and mobile telecoms have experienced significant growth in recent times. Somalia accounts for 95% of all goat exports and 52% of all sheep exports within the Horn of Africa, while the country also has one of the cheapest and most efficient mobile phone networks in Africa. Moreover, Somalia has an abundance of natural resources with substantial reserves of oil and gas, including an oil reservoir believed to be the second largest in Africa. Nevertheless, it is diaspora investment and expertise which have fuelled the growth of these new industries and facilitated trade in traditional sectors. Annual remittances sent to the Somali regions by the diaspora are estimated at around US$2bn, an essential capital flow far greater than that provided by international aid. Dahabshiil handles the majority of remittances to the region, while recent inward investment from Turkey has provided a further boost to the economy, most of it in the city of Mogadishu, which European investors have deemed too risky. However business leaders called for similar investment from Turkey into other Somali territories, including Somaliland and Puntland - and have encouraged the international community to follow suit. In recognition of the important role played by the diaspora in fuelling economic growth, and its potential for enhancing the resilience of fragile communities, Dahabshiil is going to work with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) to leverage the contributions of diaspora communities and encourage sustained economic development through investment in agriculture ? particularly in rural areas. The aim is to encourage social entrepreneurship and increase access to markets for diaspora members. Mr Duale concluded: "The Somali territory needs investment in infrastructure and not just aid. The diaspora is in a unique position to deliver skills training, and foster development. Their resources, and willingness to invest in what many regard as fragile markets, coupled with the Somali peoples? local knowledge of the situation on the ground, would give the efforts of the international community increased legitimacy and greater purpose."

^^ Somalilanders will continue to say what they think.

^^That Somaliland and Somalia should live side by side as two republics.
