SayidSomal Posted February 22, 2012 ^^That is just text highlighted the important bit of the question, which was followed by a question re welcoming the somaliland president - to which cameroon replied - he would welcome him but "that this conference is not about recognising somaliland" but rather working with all the political groups and supporting the somalis among themselves to make their country stronger and safer .watch the video from 17.12.....

xiinfaniin Posted February 22, 2012 No matter how hard the lobby tries, this conservative government refuses to take its eye off the ball with respect to the London Somalia Conference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carafaat Posted February 22, 2012 When the MP mentions Somaliland, hear hear MP's shout. If Parliament had any influence on recongnition SL would be recongnized in no time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

burahadeer Posted February 22, 2012 what they expect him to say in such meeting designed to look into the wider somali problem?He knows it won't be healthy If he comes up with recognition up front even if he intends to do so.Politics don't work that way, and who said this is about recognizing SL in the first place. Is this the last argument so called unionists reserved for their darkest hour! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
