This is great. In the next few weeks also there will be high level delegation from Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark arriving. 

There are rumours that I heard Germans will be joining the SDF too.

This International Development is a strong arm in the common wealth countries, British Empire. The foreign office is formal. This ID is informal, on the ground, practical where rubber meets road.

Now that the port business is going ahead, all countries who don't have beach head in Djibouti will be tripping each other to Somaliland.

Too high a price to pay in Yemen and too uncertain in Eritrea.

Being close to Djibouti is unavoidable to anyone worth their pants these days.

Interesting development, indeed, really. However, the take-away points from these are, in my view, as follows:

1- the Somaliland Developmental Fund (SDF) is here to say, the despite the best effort by the political groupies in Villa Somalia, who wanted to end it.

It is a drop in the bucket.  25 million pounds relatively don't contribute much to a national budget. However, it is undoubtedly a moral victory for SL gov't.  To have the British government openly comment on the fact that they are willing to contribute to the budget of SL government in the current environment where some Ministers at FGS are firmly opposed to.  it definitely takes courage to do that. 

Yet Ms. Baldwin has clearly indicated her position in face of potential backlash from FGS by undoubtedly stating that the British government has no intentions to recognize SL. This position is clearly a deterioration regarding the previous British positions toward SL's independence where they used to say that "it is an internal issue that should be discussed by the two parties involved."  

So Aw guuriyo, reer Qaldaan.
