Ahh, poor XX, so getting an invitation from the British PM to Downing Street is not important, even meaningless but having a deputy Minister visit Hargaysa is a landmark event?

 

Try again, that was very poor and the fact that took you a whole day is troubling...

 

The British dont recognise Somaliland and if your "Mothers" government does not recognise you who will?

When was the last time A UK minister visited Mogadisho duke i don't really care about the hotel Goverment you think of it as something great Just because Adeero Cabdi cawar is the new deputy deputy Chief of Mahiga how sad;)

[General Duke]

^^^

 

Not sure why you are mixing things again. The deputy Minister of Foreign affairs of Italy a high rank official just visited Mogadishu..

Promised to open the EMBASSY like William Hague of Britain and donated $2.5 million cash to rebuild Martini Hospital.

 

 

UN deputy secretary general & the head of the WFP program visited Mogadishu.

The former Irish President just visited GEDO..

 

Again how are you special?

 

Also Siilanyo, Riiyaale and Egaal have never ever been invited to Downing Street since they are not heads of State of a nation but regional leaders...

 

Again how are you special?

So the Deputy Minister of foreign Affairs of the italy has visited Mogadisho after 20 years the so called recognized Hotel Government thats about it and some retired irish dude helping the poor souls in Somalia is that all you got to show for , Duke Come back when italy opens its Embassy or when the UK opens its Embassy or the US.

[General Duke]

^^^ The British in their own website as posted on this thread have stated that they intend to open an embassy in Mogadishu. Yet on the same pages they labled Somaliland as part of Somalia and not a nation.

Now com back to Earth when you have something other than the lies your group have been telling the children.

[General Duke]

^^^You are getting angry now. What happened to the sarcastic XX, he died when he read the government pages and press releases of his beloved colonial British Government. After all it’s not easy to overcome the lies one has been told and is telling right now. These falsehoods go something like this "Britain loves Somaliland; they recognize us as different from Somalia. "

 

Then the harsh truth..

 

British Office

for Somalia

 

There is no such thing as the British office for Somaliland. :D

 

Now haji, stop being mad your NW regions are still part of Somalia and don’t ask me go ask the British Government…ouch

[General Duke]

Travel Summary

 

We advise against all travel to Somalia, including Somaliland. In the Southern and Central regions, there is ongoing serious violence, dangerous levels of criminal activity and general internal insecurity. We advise any British citizens in Somalia to leave.

 

Copying and pasting at its finest.

Its all quite on the secessionist front...

Rare Somalia visit by a British General.

 

November 12, Mogadishu – The beleaguered Somali capital Mogadishu this week played host on Tuesday and Wednesday to Major General Jonathan Shaw of Britain who paid an official visit to the African Union peacekeepers and the country’s top security officials to shore up support for the ongoing efforts to pacify the war-ravaged Horn of African country.

 

After visiting several frontline positions where AMISOM forces and Somali government forces are battling Islamist militants, General Shaw said he was impressed by recent gains made by the peacekeepers.

 

He promised to inform the world and in particular his country Britain about the much-needed support by the AU peacekeepers working under difficult circumstances in Mogadishu.

 

AMISOM Force Commander Major General Nathan Mugisha believes the General Shaw’s visit to Mogadishu was timely since Britain is set to take the chairmanship of the rotating United Nations Security Council this month and hopes his visit will help shed more light about the poorly funded African peacekeeping mission which badly needs more troops to pacify Mogadishu and other Somali cities.

 

“The United Kingdom is going to chair the UN Security Council starting from this month. It is this Security Council that will decide the way forward. Since the UK will be the chair they can use this rare opportunity to make a case on our behalf and make other members of the Security Council to understand what goes on here. It is against this backdrop that the General’s visit is timely. He has sees what we are doing and the progress we have made. His story will influence other members of the Security Council,” General Mugisha said.

 

The British General visited several AMISOM bases in Hodan district where he was able to fathom the scale of things on the ground and get first hand information about Al-Shabab insurgents.

 

He even saw several Al-Shabab positions around the famous Tarbuunka square and was clearly impressed of what he saw of AMISOM.

 

“I came here to see for myself the great work AMISOM is doing on behalf of the international community to count the threat that exists here in Somalia. There is very bad press outside there but actually the truth I have seen here is that this is a very professional force that is trying very hard and actually are making great success and I think the success they have had is something the outside world needs to know about,” Shaw said.

 

Shaw wants the world to help fund and maintain the AU peacekeepers who together with Somali government forces are busy battling an Islamist militancy led by the notorious Al-Shabab militias out to topple the interim government of President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed which is trying it best to bring back hope and restore security in a country that has had no peace since 1991.

 

“The AMISOM success of the past weeks seems to have broken the stalemate in Mogadishu and at the moment AMISOM seems to be on a roll and I think we should give them all the support we can for their undoubted successes this is a very difficult place to operate and I think they are doing extremely well,” the British General said flanked by aides.

 

Back in November there was a top British General visiting Mogadishu.. When the city was even less safer that today.

Poor secessionists how are you special?
