^They have an embassy in Mogadishu...:D they have also appointed an ambassador for Somalia..

Yes an Ambassador for Somalia which is very good good but this is a Political office which will also help facilitate the Somaliland development corporation that was launched earlier this year. How ever the British Government their embassy for Somalia is based in Kenya Nairobi matt baugh is the Ambassador for Somalia based Kenya. While the British Embassy in addis ababa maintans a full range of Bilateral relations with the Somaliland govt in Hargeysa. Thats how the Brits organized the situation of Somaliland and Somalia.

^^^^

Adeer you have no recognition and a Political office is meaningless to your cause if its affairs are run from Mogadishu's embassy..

 

Desperate talk from a secessionist. Now Somalia will develop insha Allah now your hero Sharif's are gone..

You are forgetting that the Somaliland affairs concerning the UK will be connected to the Embassy in Ethiopia and the Political office recently opened will deal with the Somaliland corporation issues in the SL capital. While the Nairobi based Embassy for Somalia will run the affairs of Somalia from Kenya that's how its organized u have to deal with it.

I have been bussy with the Gaas campaign for change. Yes he lost but I will admit the right man has won. Now that the election is over I will support the new President 100%. The secessionists are just bothered by the whole change. An election inside Mogadishu, a new face at the helm, a new Federal Constitution and no longer a Transitional but a permenent Somali government. Deal with it..

Why would i be upset i said before the elections that i will support who ever the people of Somalia elect and they elected Hassan Sh Mahamuud not cabdi cawar no faroole agent is in Mogadishu tonight. I know it hurts and it must be painful that the guy u were promoting the past few months lost but that's the reality:D

There are winners and there are losers in this world and you have to just accept that ur not on the winning team:D

[burahadeer]

You do know today there is more unity in Mogadishu between various communities than any other time? We have a well manared, religious, educated man at the top. Abdiweli was his ally and so where those who supported the change and who were against the Sharif's you supported.

 

Today I am happy, so are my relatives in Mogadishu including my beloved mother. Thus Mr. Secessionist expect a shock as the Federal Republic takes shape. The days when we took orders from Addis, Djibouti & Kenya are over..

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

Burah leave our friend Duke Alone he is still not over the loss of Cabdi Weli so one needs to let his frustrations out on Somaliland.

[General Duke]

I am a proud Somali today and want Mogadishu to develop and become stronger, XX on the other hand wants Somaliland to be run from Addis and Banadir from Kenya.. Who is a loser?
