What parts do you disagree with?

Tallaabo, It kind worked out for the better.

Strange.

I don't like quoting myself but reread what I wrote. Your enclave could use little PR instead of pissing of world powers.

Nice PR with some interesting facts

Beijing was indifferent to Somaliland's pursiut of international recognition but cares a lot if any entity violates the one-china policy. And this is where Sland made a blunder, infringing on the stated sovereignty of a powerful nation.

I wonder how much money was wasted on that.

Planeload of Kalashnikovs sends warning to world over Ethiopia's massive new dam WWW.HIIRAAN.COM The plane from Egypt packed with a cache of weapons was meant to arrive in Somalia in May.

Oodweyne, Yes, we do. I guess time will tell.

Galbeedi, It really doesn't matter who we accept or who we don't. As long as we are playing a second fiddle to someone else's grand design, we will just be someone's pawn.

Oodweyne, It is not so much Farmaajo talking on behalf of Sland, it is about unnecessarily making a new enemy. China had no interest in Somali affairs. Why pull it in?

Tallaabo,

That's an understatement. Who got the appointment? Biixi's nephew?

China is massacring Eugyher Muslims and is about directly take over Hong Kong. The world powers sat around and watch. So Biixi, in his infinite wisdom, thought let's poke the bear, a vindicative Security Council member.

I was out of commission for a while. Thanks, MMA for resolving it! Galbeedi, The pastor has no longer any support within the Oromo. If there was any hope of them supporting him, he did it away with the asinine move. He was already waging a literal war with Christian West Oromo, and now with Eastern Muslim Oromo, and the South Oromo is under the command post. Tigray has mobilized its population, its paramilitary force, and regular forces. The pastor lost the plot. A continued army involvement risks the split of the armed among ethnic lines.

They put them to good use in Libya.

On a side note, Turkish presence is growing in South Yemen with charity organizations and effort to get hold of a port of two.
