Can President Hasan sheikh Sustain Momentum on Somaliland

[Saalax]

Hornnewspaper: It is an open secret that a majority of Somalilanders was pro Sheikh Sharif re-election due to what they perceived as his pro-Somaliland tendencies.

So disappointment was galore with the SL borders when Hasan Sheikh Mahmoud won the presidency, for he was little known thus "Better the devil you know than the angel you don't know"

Well come his first Somali language press conference and Kudos Somaliland was top of his agenda and positively at that

"Although am all for unity, Somaliland's sovereignty should not be belittled thus forced to rejoin the south but enticed through friendly means" Said president Hasan

This statement came after he informed that he was ready to resume talks suspended before the elections, and not only did it reverse local perceptions but won him many hearts as well.

While this is great news for the country, the big question is can president Hasan sustain the momentum shown as pertains to Somaliland. ???

How will he react when the likes of the Farole from Puntland start their anti-Somaliland campaigns at villa Somalia in Mogadishu?

Will he stand steadfast to his principles acquired after lengthily service within the civil societies?

Will he remember the many days Somalilanders hosted him in Hargeisa while on various civil society errands for his people in the south?

Can he sustain the obvious onslaught from proponents of greater Somalia who are even now seething with anger and disappointment over his statement etched in the hearts of all landers? "The sovereignty of Somaliland should be respected"

Perceived as a political moderate the academic president congratulated the governments of Somaliland and the outgoing TFG for initiating the talks between the former united nations that have not seen eye to eye in 21 years.

We remain hopeful that the Hasan Sheikh momentum in Mogadishu remains sustainable and surely receive the needed support from our own mediation team, government, lawmakers and ordinary citizens from all lifestyles in Somaliland.

Xasan Sheekh waxaabu is leeyahay Somaliland axsaan baabad u samaysay marka uu leeyahay anagu sasabo iyo suba-salaax mooyaane Somaliland wax khasab aanu ku dayaynaa ma jirto.

Hada waa ninka ay gurigiisa saacadaa aynu joogno ay ku ilaalinayaan Yamyam iyo Qadaad weyn iskaga timid Uganda, Kenya, iyo Burundi ilaa Sier lion iyo Nigeria, ee talaabo uu qaado daayo aanu jirin go’aan uu la’aantood gaadhi karaa. Adeer hadii la idin yidhi Somaliland hadal macaan iyo beerlaxawsi uunbay idiinku soo joogsan kartaa ee sidaas ku daya dabeeto mar labaad baydun Xamar ka xukumi doontaan, alla maxaad riyoonaysaan.! Anagu waxa aanu nahay dad xor ah oo dalkooda aan ajnabi ku xukumin, dhulkoodana ku jooga nabad iyo caano iyo karaamo iyo sharaf, mana jirto wax kale oo aanu arimahaas ku doorsanaynaa.

Guys Hassan sheikh will do things different in regards of the Somaliland and Somalia issues we are talking about a man who knows what is at stake we are talking about a man who worked and lived in Somaliland some of his time. We are talking about a man who knows that the union happened and it got really damaged. Lets see how it goes from here.

but xaaji your ultimate goal is to break from the union which means if you see him as good for your cause, he is not good for the country.

He is good for the country Somalia and he is a good partner for Somalilands dialogue not everything has to be if he is a friend of Somaliland he will be a bad President for Somalia he got a 190 votes.

xaaji, if Xasan Qoslaye is good for Somaliland's independence, he can't be good for the union of Somalia as one state.

Wait let me ask you a question lets say Mooge u are the President of Somalia ur the President of a war torn country widely known also as a failed state. You're battling islamists in the south and central regions of ur country there are about 20.000 foreign troops present in you're country and last year there was famine. In the north u have a break away republic called Somaliland the international community facilitated talks between ur government and the break away republic to clarify their future relations. How would you solve that, the ball is in you're court.
