What to Do With Somalia and Somaliland ?

[Jacaylbaro]

The Problems plaguing Somalia show no sign of abating in the near future.

 

It seems that every other day there has been a Bomb Explosion in Mogadishu killing dozens of people or requests made by the Transitional Government for Assistance have been falling on Deaf Ears.

 

Is there any hope for the Horn of Africa?

 

For Almost 20 years Somalia has been in a State of Anarchy. Two Previous Attempts by the United Nations to restore a functioning Government have failed and currently a third attempt is not promising.

 

Piracy has been a Major Concern amongst the International Community as the Gulf of Aden is a Chokepoint amongst the Shipping Lanes of the World.

 

Islamic Militants who have been linked to both Al-Qaida and Eritrea have been battling Government Forces in and around the Capital Mogadishu. And in recent day days in a High Profile Incident 4 thieves suffered Cross Amputation for their Crimes.

 

As a result of the latest fighting 250 people have reportedly been killed and 170,000 have been displaced. The US Government has seen fit to send 10 tons of Arms to support the Somali Government.

 

The Crisis in Somalia seems to be getting worse

 

In the near future a Conference will be held in Washington, DC regarding the Future of Somalia.

 

What is interesting is for the First Time Somaliland will be asked to attend. However they will not attend due to the fact that they have been invited as a Province of Somalia not as an Independent State which they claim to be.

 

In another Interesting Fact Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti were not invited to take part in the Washington Conference.

 

For Several Years now the Somaliland Region has been attempting to have the Independent Community state that they are a Country. In 1998 the Somali Government tried to prevent the region from seceding by Force but was unsuccessful.

 

After a Meeting with US Officals at the Embassy in Nairobi the Somaliland leadership decided not to attend because their concerns would not be on the Agenda. That is a Legitimate Concern.

 

The Leaders in Hargeysa don't want to be lumped into a Solution that may end up being a detriment to Somaliland. After all the Region will be announcing which companies were able to purchase Gas and Oil Exploration contracts this fall. The region does not have a problem with Piracy either.

 

In the Long Run the US may be making an Error by not increasing contacts with Hargeysa. On this note the Obama Administration deserves some praise. Unlike Previous Administrations they have been talking to Somaliland.

Riix inta. Scroll down.

 

And the title is misleading. If the initiator of this thread wanted to copy the original title, at least use the same title: What to do with Soomaaliya.

 

And the writer of that bungled article, as his pen name implies, is indeed confused.

morganrights hmmmmmmmmmmm not an appropriate name i think to be talking about this matter

the U.N. is not qualified to install a government anywhere!

all they can do is support and assist whatever entity calls itself government and seems to have control of the area.even inofficially...suppo rt that is.

 

back in the days people used to take drugs like l.s.d and they had crazy visions, nowadays it's impossible and not necessary ,the music from that generation gives us all the visions we would get from taking the same trips.

 

it's hopeless and nothing can be done.

 

it's like trying to find a fitting donor for oragan transplant for a coma patient who wrote in his final will that he/she wants no organ transplant!
