Suldaanka Posted July 14, 2020 With Mogadishu throwing its support behind Addis Abeba. Should Hargeisa throw its support behind Egypt? hmm The Somaliland Gov't should press for Arab League recognition of Somaliland if Egypt wants support from Hargeisa. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xaaji Xunjuf Posted July 14, 2020 They want us to support them on the nile issue it ain't going to happen. Egypt was always hostile towards Somaliland But I think they learned it the hard way. That the former Somali Republic is dead no point trying to revive it. And they understand the political reality on the ground now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And they understand the political reality on the ground now. It is an opportunity nonetheless. We've got to make decisions. Hargeisa should look forward not backward and see what are the possibilities. An Arab League recognition is huge, specially with regards to Saudi Arabia and our livestock market. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gooni Posted July 15, 2020 Aragtidayda Masar waxay ku jirtaa wakhti adag oo dhaqaale xumo iyo haybad la'aan isugu darsantay. Snm waxay u egtahay bahalkii dabka iftiinka moodi jiray oo markuu ku dhaco qaraxa khafiifkaa samayn jiray. Ethiopia, biyo xireenkeedu waa amni qowmi ay xaq u leedahay inay ka faa'iido nimcada dalkeeda. Masar waa u geeri aan nolol dambe lahayn, hadii biyuhu ka yaraadaan gacanka suways iyo beeraha dhulka saciid. Dadkeedu waa boqol malyan oo dhalinyaro u badan sidoo kale Ethiopia. Waa wax lagu qoslo in snm qadiyadda sidaa u adag ayadoo curdana oo habaw ah dhex istaagto. Khatarta Ethiopia uga imaan karta yaa ka halis badan sawirka ay masar la galayaan.

Waa fursad, Xiniinyo u baahan, laakin hadana Egypt is broken, and very weak, but definitely can get dozens of countries to recognise SL, if SL helps!

YaxaaS Posted July 15, 2020 Egyptian delegation visits Hargeisa as IGAD lauds dialogue between FGS and Somaliland WWW.GAROWEONLINE.COM 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suldaanka Posted July 15, 2020 So it seems things are getting very interesting. The Egyptians want to establish a diplomatic office in Hargeisa and have asked Somaliland to do the same in Cairo. The Egyptians have proposed to upgrade business ties which includes buying Somaliland livestock, also Egyptian fishing companies are interested in Somaliland's seas. These deals will be worked on in the second visit. The most important request was a military base which Egypt wants to establish in Somaliland. Somaliland has flagged reservations about that and further talks are scheduled. The Ethiopian gov't has protested these Egyptian maneuvering in Hargeisa. President Muse Biihi will be playing his cards very close to his chest. Gobolka waan naqaanaa, bahal naga da'wayn oo dad cuni ma joogo. Have no fear Muse, take the necessary step forward that is in the interest of Somaliland. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galbeedi Posted July 15, 2020 I knew the separatist st boys were desperate to get noticed by others, but I didn't know they were suicidal. Let me make few quick points here: First, Egypt doesn't need Berbera or any Somali air space to attack the Ethiopian dam. THe distance between the Dam and Egyptian border is almost the same as flying in the Red sea. Second , the separatists do not dare to welcome Ethiopian enemies in Berbera or any where else. It will be suicidal both politically and economically. Ethiopia could finish off this project in half day in so many ways. Don't they know that there are many people waiting for a Kurdish style base in EThiopia to do what they did few years ago. Third, Egypt can not offer anything to Somaliland in terms of trade or business connection. If they want to recognize other nations in the region, let them start with South Yemen. The Egyptian despot has no choice but to negotiate with Ethiopia. They had an opportunity to stop the dam ten years ago when it was started and while the international banks refused to lend money to the project for fear of Egyptian attack. Furthermore, any attack in Ethiopia will make Abiy a martyr and he might even use a cover to consolidate power and defend mama Ethiopia. Mengistu Hailemarium was desperate and cornered in 1977, until the Somali Galbeed war started. He used the war to galvanize the people, hold on to power and eliminate his enemies. An attack to the dam will be God sent gift to Abiy. If the despot Sisi want to play games like the fat gulf boys of Dubai and court who ever is detractor of Somalia, he should send an airplane and pick up Faysal Waraabe and company and entertain them for few days. He could even send a ticket to C/raxman C/shakuur and Ina Sharmaarke to boot even more. He can find another Raila Odinga looking few cash and some attension. THese Arab fools keep playing the same discredited old games. History has shown the gulf despots only respect power and those who steps his foot in their neck. Do not show them any mercy. THey pedal the blood of other Arabs to be irrelevant. Now you get our attention since we are all debating a non existent Egyptian delegation. Certainly the Landers love drama . They think being in the news and getting some attention is probably what the doctor in HArgeisa has prescribed. Now, you got our attention and it is time to go home and take care of the real job of feeding the poor and creating something real. WAar waan idin aragnay naga fadhiista oo ummadda maasaakiinta dhib kale ha u keenia. HUnguri wadkii ma arko ayaan maqli jiray. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will surprise if they do anything different with their old historic play. Saleebaan Gaal, Adna and many others are still there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suldaanka Posted July 16, 2020 Reer Somalia siday Ethiopia uga cabsoodaan ilaahay haday uga cabsoon lahaayeen, ehelu janah ayay wada noqon lahaayeen. Just watch and learn how Hargeisa does it. Without recognition ayaa madaxa isu wada gelinaynaa. Somaliiland and Ethiopian relationship was built on two pillars security and economy. If one of those pillars gets missing, then we do not need that relationship. If Egypt comes on board along with United Arab Emirates, then Saudi Arabia will be able to also come onboard. As these 3 countries are what is left of the Arab World these days. If they are able to guarantee Somaliland's security and give Somaliland access to their markets, then Ethiopia is not needed at all. Muse Biixi needs to play his cards right.

Suldaanka, That is good assessment of the advantages that could be gained from the gulf boys. Yet, these guys never give anything for mutual exchange of interests. They would have helped the Yemenis next door or the suffering Syrians. The day of reckoning for the gulf boys is coming soon. Bin Salmaan has been advised to depose his own father and take the throne before Joe Biden takes the helms of US Of A. Qatar is thriving since the blockade while the UAE has been defeated every where. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
