Suldaanka Posted October 21, 2004 The Sovereignty Of Somaliland Is Not Negotiable, Says Ahmed Silanyo The leader of Somaliland’s largest opposition party, KULMIYE, Ahmed Mohamud Silanyo, said in an interview with the BBC Somali Service, that his country and people welcome the new government for Somalia, while noting the efforts and resources, which the international community invested in this process. However, he stressed that the Somalia government formed in Kenya does not concern the Republic of Somaliland, and that Somaliland’s sovereignty was not negotiable, rejecting comments by Somalia President that Somaliland is part of Somalia, and that his government will open up negotiations with its administration soon. The republic of Somaliland, former British protectorate, amalgamated with Somalia, former Italian trustee, in 1960. However, after a lengthy civil war, Somaliland reclaimed its sovereignty in 1991, and declared the withdrawal from the union. It has been peaceful since then, and has its own money, military and a democratically elected government. It has not been part to the Kenya process, and it is yet to be recognised by any country. In the eyes of many international observers, the prospects for renewed cycle of hostilities in the horn of Africa region, once again, is real, if the international community does not take an active part in finding a solution to Somaliland-Somalia situation, due to their opposing positions on sovereignty and territory. Asked if it was not up to Somalia and Somaliland to negotiate final settlement to their status, Mr Silanyo, replied: “the international community did not ask the people of Somalia to negotiate and find a solution to their own problems. It intervened and assisted them. Now it must assist Somaliland and Somalia go their separate ways and live peacefully, side by side, as two sovereign states.
