Because your government still claims Somaliland to be part of their country , so in order to show that SL is some how part of Somalia they pick a minister from SL. But for Somaliland the unity no longer exist and they are an independent state. So Foreigners from Somalia Djibouti Kenya have no say in Somaliland nor can they have leadership in SL.
