Is it true that Israel recognized Somaliland clan enclave?

“Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.”

 

Feb 15, 2010 - Late last week, on Thursday, February 11, 2010, one of the pro-secessionist’s websites claimed that an official of the State of Israel hinted the possibility of recognizing Northwestern Somalia’s clan enclave ‘Somaliland,’ a region disputed by various hostile clans. The account of the news was originally published on Somalilandpress.com, a childish website run by a group of novice journalists willing to do everything in order to make a case for the unrecognized entity– Somaliland. Nothwithstanding the sesessionists’ sympathizers entertained that idea and believed the baseless propaganda, but 4 days later, since the story appeared on Somalilandpress.com, neither the Israeli Government nor anyone else came forward to prove it.

 

The bearers of the horror story proclaimed that Israel was the first country that recognized Somaliland in June 26, 1960, and based on this, Israel is willing to renew a diplomatic relationship with Somaliland–that never existed. Perhaps, those people have no idea what Israel is all about. Do they? The State of Israel was found, according to its Zionists creators, to make a home for the Jewish peoples. At least, a widespread Jews suffering in the hands of European tyrants, was one of the reasons that made Israel. Israel and its leaders know better; interfering another homogeneous nations’ affairs is not the interest of Israel. In fact, Israel was the second country after Pakistan that recognized Somalia in July 01, 1960.

 

The other hand, shamelessly, the article bashed Muslim-Arab and the African Union for not recognizing Somaliland. The question is: why in the world any one should recognize a clan entity whilst there are far more important issues? Indeed, conflicts like Darfur, Chechnia, Kashmir, ******, Oromia and the like are genuine cases, but so far the international community has defied separatist’s calls and continues discouraging farther divisions and sub-divisions of the world’s sovereign states. That lesson has been learned during the collapse of the then Soviet Union. The Sates that emerged after the fall of the communism added fuel to the world’s problems. The cold-war dormancy kept things together, however with the demands of the new States and the fear of nuclear arsenal proliferation has substantiated new strategies including changing alliances and outsourced wars.

 

In a subsequent article, the secessionists posted an audio clip recorded from a Somali elder. According to them, the old man expressed hate towards Israel and other infidels, as they put it. But when you listen to him, you can understand it’s a made up story and has no merit whatsoever. Yet in another

promulgated propaganda, those misguided writers tried to label their brotheren Somalis as terrorists and terrorists’ sympathisers. Amazingly, they forgot that the most dangerous terrorists in the Horn of Africa belong to Northwestern part of Somalia. For example, the Amir of Alshabab Mujahedin, Ahmed Abdi Godane, Sheikh Sayli’i, Sheikh Ali Warsame (a low profile Alshabab leader situated in Buroa,) are none but **** … In fact, the first stoning of a human being took place in Hargeisa in January 1993. Five women were pronounced as sinners and were stoned to death in a broad-day-light.

 

Moreover, they emphasised the occupation of Lasanod by Ethiopian-backed Somaliland forces as a just war. Who the hell is going to put an stock on their story? Everybody knows the motive behind Lasanod occupation. The people of Lasanod refuted the pro-Melez Somaliland Army and declared war against the aggressors. The recent Horseed Conference held in Nairobi was a milestone and had the support of all traditional leaders, intellectuals, politicians as well as the diaspora. Though the secessionists portraited Lasanod Conflict as an insurgency struggle to subdue radicalized elements, the international community disagreed and Riyaale’s Militia is losing the grip. The head of the junta forces was recently assassinated in Lasanod; the stalled governor has been wounded in an attack; the death is mounting as demonstrations continue to gain momentum by the day.

 

Conclusion

 

In June 26, 1960 there wasn’t known diplomatic arrangements between Israel and the self-declared Somaliland enclave. Soon after the British withdrew, Somaliland Protectorate willingly joined Italian Somaliland and the two parts became today’s Somalia. On the record, the blue-five-starred Somalia’s flag was first raised in Hargeisa’s Freedom Park (Beerta Xurriyadda.) The subsequent Somalia’s governments entered membership agreements with the League of Arab Nations in 1976 ratified by none but Omar Arte Qalib, an ****; Somalia also joined the African Union, formerly known as OAU in 1974 as well the OIC

 

(Organization for Islamic Conference) in 1969. The accusations labeled at those entities is counter productive and is in direct violation of the member states’ rights as stipulated under the organizations’ charters. The international community sees the occupation of Lasanod as a self-inflicted wound and will not change opinions on secession. Diverting facts and projecting baseless accounts will farther complicate the ‘recognition’ ideologue secessionists deploy. Last but not the least, since the collapse of Somalia’s central government in 1991, the pro-secessionists Somaliland sympathizers have been engaged in propagating baseless propaganda campaign to lure the international community to believe Somalia’s Northwestern clan motives. The latest unilateral proclamation is nothing but another tactic to promote sesessionists’ doctorine.

War Jaceylbaro, heedhe Yuhuud ictirafkeeda wax lagu farxo ma ahee naga daa dee sxb! Aggah! You guys don't have to go that low mise warqadii cigaal waxbaa ka jiray?

[Thankful]

I'll believe it when Israeli makes any acknowledgement of this. Not just the NW Somalia (so-called) media.

 

It's obvious that NW Somalia is trying to scare the Muslim world; but they don't realize that just like the U.S said, the rest of the world feels the same way. That recognition should be brought up to the AU and it's not their issue!
