Saalax Posted March 13, 2011 Somaliland’s Foreign Minister says there is no call to go into Somalia Reconciliation Hargeisa (RBC) Dr. Mohammed Omar Abdullahi, Somaliland’s foreign minister said on Sunday that Somaliland will not contribute and does not have any relationship with an intended Somali reconciliation conference. The international community recently proposed Somalia’s reconciliation conference which some officials said that north regions of Somalia (Somaliland) will be included. President of the neighbouring region of Puntland Abdulrahman Mohammed Faroole argued Somaliland to join into a national reconciliation which will be held in the coming months. The minister said that Somaliland still insists and will continue to be an independent state from Somalia as he commented “there is no call to go into this matter”. ”Somaliland will not participate in the reconciliation conference that includes the Somali parties not only in America or elsewhere”, the minister said in an interview with the Horn of Africa newspaper. The minister added that the meeting which was held this week in New York between representatives of Somaliland and Puntland and the TFG (Transitional Federal government of Somalia) was under the supervision of the United Nations, as he described that it was only to discuss the risks of piracy off the coast of Somalia. Mohammed Omar Abdullahi said “it is only rumors that we and Somalia will participate in the conference to bridge the gap between the Somali parties. It is a matter that has no true basis”. He added. “For us, Somaliland stood on its feet and become a reality, and our democracy to thrive through the legislative institutions and civil society institutions, and this step indicates the direction for separation”, the minister continued.

Xaaji Xunjuf Posted March 13, 2011 Reconciliation conferences for our neighbouring country does not concern us i hope though this effort will bring the various clan states and Islamic groups closer to eachother in Somalia for the sake of their people and their country.

Thankful Posted March 13, 2011 The minister added that the meeting which was held this week in New York between representatives of Somaliland and Puntland and the TFG (Transitional Federal government of Somalia) was under the supervision of the United Nations, as he described that it was only to discuss the risks of piracy off the coast of Somalia. Discuss the risks off Piracy off Somalia? So why wasn't Kenya, Djibouti, Yemen and other nations that are in close proximity of Somalia involved? Or what about accepting the 2-track Policy with Puntland for Somalia? The so-called Foreign Minister - who has been proven to be dilusional - needs to realize that he says one thing but his actions are completely something else. He can claim all he wants that his enclave is independent but he is clearly involving it in international policies and meetings that are meant for no other country but Somalia!

Taleexi Posted March 13, 2011 So far "Somaliland" remains to be part of Somalia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saalax Posted March 13, 2011 AfricaOwn well said. If they are trying to belittle Somaliland's areas why are they crying over the fact it has seceded in 1991 and doesn't want to be part of the failed state of Somalia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiil Cusub Posted March 13, 2011 You do not understand that 3 villages will never, never recognised as a sovereign state .... First of all never say never if you are wise. Secondly it is not that matter, those 3 villages are better off without international sovereign state. Last 20 years they accomplish what they couldn't do 30 years before that under Jamuuriyaddii Jaahilka ahyd ee Somalia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
