Somaliland president widens search for international recognition and cooperation

[Jacaylbaro]

Hargeisa (Alshahid) – Somaliland President Dahir Rayale Kahin secretly flew out of the country on Tuesday for a two weeks’ visit to France enroute Djibouti and Ethiopia.

 

The president’s entourage included the first lady, Huda Barkad Adan, minister of Post and Telecommunication, Ali Sandule, Director of port of Berbera, Ali Horhor, and the President’s Personal Secretary, Ahmed Mohamed Isse.

 

Although inside government sources confirm that the Somaliland leader had received an official invitation from the French government, it is still unclear why the trip has been kept so secret.

 

On his way the President paid a personal visit to the French embassy in the Djibouti to follow up the recent visit to Hargeisa by the French Ambassador and his delegation.

 

The Minister for Post and Telecommunication signed a major telecommunication deal that will see Somaliland connected to Europe’s fast internet cables via the East African Submarine Cable System (EASSy) and Seacom. The submarine-cable will also be connected to Ethiopia through Somaliland’s Berbera waters.

 

In Addis Ababa, the president met officials from the Ethiopian government, diplomats from a number of European nation’s diplomats, before he flies to Paris.

 

Somaliland has been asking landlocked Ethiopia, the second most populous nation in Africa to use Somaliland’s Berbera as their prime port.

 

The relationship between France and Somaliland has been growing steadily since this is not the first time President Rayale has received an invitation from the French government.

 

In September of 2008, Somaliland head led a delegation to France on a working mission.

 

Recently Somaliland Vice President Ahmed Yasin returned from a Paris hospital where he had gone for further medical attention.

 

On a visit to Somaliland capital Hargeisa, the French ambassador to Djibouti told the president that France would support Somaliland development in particular education where his was considering giving Somaliland students free scholarships to study in France.

Riyaale does this everytime NW Somalia talks about elections and he feels his job is on the line, he flies out to some country. He pretends that there are some sort of secret meetings taking place and that recognition is around the corner. It's all a ploy to try and justify postponing the elections over and over again. He wants people to be fearful of taking him out of power and losing the recognition that he wants them to believe is within grasp.

 

If this doesn't work, than he will tell his people in Boorama to pull out the Blue flag with white star and scare of any other threats.

 

He knows how to stay in power, i'll give him that!

Thankful, Riyale was student of siyad barre what do you expect lol.

 

But yeah your right the people of somaliland are real dumb bro you can tell them anything and they will believe you, waa iska very gullible.

 

For example when they joined somalia they actually thought they were going to get prime minister spot reserved for them, but they were in for a rude awakening lol. They were told you only are 2 cities of somalia and a minority and in a democracy its based on "majority" rules!!!

 

Then they were told you are not somaliland but your waqoyi in other words "waqoyi a region of somalia" hence we never compared somalia and somaliland in the same sense and here we go again with riyale pretty much using same tactics he learnt from the south!!!
