Jacaylbaro Posted July 4, 2010 Ethiopia congratulates new Somaliland President Ethiopia's Foreign Ministry on Friday welcomed the election of a new President in the self-declared independent state of Somaliland. The Ethiopian Foreign Ministry welcomes the election of President Ahmed Mohamed Silanyo, who won the weekend elections with 50 per cent of the vote. The opposition candidate ousted long-serving President Dahir Riyale Kahin, who readily accepted defeat and pledged to hand over power peacefully after garnering 33 per cent of the vote. The Ethiopian government said it welcomed the results of the elections. 'The people of Somaliland once again demonstrated their sense of responsibility and commitment of maintaining the peace and stability of the country as well as maintaining democratisation,' the Ethiopian Foreign Ministry statement said. Somaliland held the presidential elections, which recorded a higher voter turnout despite threats by Islamist elements operating in mainland Somalia to disrupt t he vote. The Somaliland National Electoral Commission (NEC) declared Silanyo the new President late Thursday after the three-candidate presidential poll held 26 June. Ethiopian government hailed the three main political parties in Somaliland, saying they 'remained true this high standard of citizenship as demonstrated by the ir people'. 'It does not matter who has prevailed in the elections. The winners are the people of Somaliland and they need to be congratulated,' the Ethiopian statement emphasised. The Ethiopian government urged the country's political parties to respect the poll outcome and use legal means to peacefully challenge its outcome if they felt so. It congratulated the outgoing President for his sense of obligation to the people of Somaliland and the new President for his magnanimity. The new President has pledged to continue the progress towards statehood that the country has been moving towards, to warrant international recognition. Somaliland argued it should be recognized as an independent state like Djibouti. Addis Ababa - Pana Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacaylbaro Posted July 4, 2010 Press Statement The people of Somaliland once again demonstrated their sense of responsibility and commitment to maintaining the peace and stability of the country as well as its on-going democratization. The Somaliland political parties have also remained true to this high standard of citizenship demonstrated by their people. It does not matter who has prevailed in the election. The winners are the people of Somaliland and they need to be congratulated. It is in this spirit that we encourage all concerned to respect the provisional results announced by the Electoral Commission. If there are complaints, the proper legal procedures need to be followed. Full compliance to the rule of law is critical for Somaliland, for its peace and stability and for the success of its democratization. The people of Somaliland can always count on the full support of the Government and People of Ethiopia as they continue to preserve their peace and stability and ensure the democratic process is protected. The Government of Ethiopia pays tribute to the leaders of all political parties of Somaliland, and in particular, to President Dahir Rayale, for his high sense of obligation to the people of Somaliland and to the leader of the winning party, Mr. Ahmed Mohamed Silanyo, for his magnanimity and for his commitment to build on what has been achieved in Somaliland over the years.

Jacaylbaro Posted July 5, 2010 Ethiopia praises Somaliland polls ADDIS ABABA — Ethiopia pledged support Sunday for Somaliland and praised the breakaway state's presidential candidates for carrying out a peaceful transfer of power after polls last week. "The government of Ethiopia pays tribute ... to (outgoing) President Dahir Riyale Kahin for his high sense of obligation to the people of Somaliland ... and to the leader of the winning party Ahmed Mohamud Silaanyo for his magnanimity and for his commitment," a foreign ministry statement said. "The people of Somaliland can always count on the full support of the government and people of Ethiopia as they continue to preserve their peace and stability and ensure the democratic process is protected," it added. Silaanyo won June 26 polls that were praised by observers for being transparent and peaceful despite threats of attacks from the Al-Qaeda-inspired Shebab operating in neighbouring Somalia. The president-elect subsequently vowed to campaign "vigorously" for international recognition for his Horn of Africa republic. The former British colony has close political and commercial ties with regional powerhouse Ethiopia, but Addis Ababa has so far declined to grant recognition and only maintains a trade office in Hargeisa. Tacked on to Somalia when the latter gained independence from Italy in 1960, Somaliland has remained reasonably stable, spared the clan warfare that has dogged Somalia thanks to the domination of the Issaks. It broke away from Somalia in 1991, after the overthrow of Siad Barre plunged the country into anarchy. Silaanyo's election marks the second democratic transfer of power in 19 years, which voters saw as a fresh opportunity to demonstrate their aspiring state's democratic credentials. The region has been spared much of the violence that has ravaged Somalia, where an Islamist insurgency is battling to overthrow the Western-backed government of President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed.
