IRI Releases Survey of Somaliland Public Opinion

[Jacaylbaro]

SOURCE + THE REPORT

 

 

 

Residents of Hargeisa District are largely optimistic about their future and credit the Somaliland government with moving Somaliland in the right direction. The government and president have a very high support rating; however, a significant number of respondents also believe that the current government is out of touch with the needs of the people.

 

Outside of their desire for state recognition, most respondents believe poverty, unemployment and a lack of development and industry are Somaliland’s biggest problems. A majority of respondents also indicated that the government is doing a fairly bad or very bad job with regards to job creation and keeping prices down. Of note, 95 percent of respondents feel very safe, but chief among their fears is conflict or civil war.

Good, you should fear a conflict because when Somalia gets back to its former glory, you have my word that your region will be targeted. We can't afford the enemy from within.

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

Somalilanders were part of that when somalia was at its glory and we all know what happened

 

 

Good survey though somalilanders are optimistic the future looks bright for them

[Jacaylbaro]

So far it is a good report and if the government is intelligent enough, they will have to learn from it and improve things.
