It's interesting that Siilaanyo was not included in the special breakfast for the Somalia reps this morning given by David Cameron.

Whether this will translate to any further movement on the political front remains to be seen. The promised British aid exclusively for Somaliland of 105M BP/$165M for the next 3 years will also make a difference in a very poor region. I still remain skeptical on the potential of this Conference to make a real difference. Things will only move forward when Somalis come to an internal agreement among Somalis - foreign prodding only exacerbates the problem... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Somalia Posted February 23, 2012 Unique and separate status kulahaa. Unique Man, even President Geelle said in his speech that negotiations should start between the secessionists and the TFG. There's nothing unique, he chose not to attend and opted for a meeting with the Foreign Minister. This is not about Somaliland - David Cameron Negotiations should begin between Somaliland and the Transitional Federal Government - President Geelle of Djibouti All regions within Somalia should start negotiations immediately - Italian Foreign Minister Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like I told another earlier, this is not a maqaaxi where you walk in and sit in the first empty seat available. It was arranged that way. Wax fahma.

There's nothing unique, he chose not to attend and opted for a meeting with the Foreign Minister. To have negotiations between Somaliland and a central gov't for Somalia has always been the Somaliland official position but I guess you're too new at the Somali politics fora to know that. Somaliland's issue previously has been the lack of a legitimate gov't to negotiate with on the Mogadishu side (one that can actually speak for Somalia & has actual governing control). This position of a negotiation between Somaliland and the TFG is actually a step back for your beloved Puntland since Puntland claims Somaliland should be a federal state like Puntland and not a separate entity equivalent to all the rest of the former Somalia. Djibouti has its own agenda when it comes to the Somaliland issue given the nature of the Djibouti economy and its proximity to Somaliland. Just clarifying things for you, youngster.

No, it is not a step back. Puntland is an integral part of the TFG, clearly demonstrated in Faroole's term. So now you are for negotiations but not with the TFG, you deem the TFG illegitimate? Ok, if you say so. Djibouti, what you deemed to be your closest ally does not support your secession, so please do not repeat innuendos, David Cameron, the colonial master sorted out any doubt about the recognition bid today. @Carafaat, go back to the other thread and back up your claims.
