SHEFIELD (Somalilandsun) – British Somalilanders have honoured a member of the European parliament for continued support to the international recognition of their mother Somaliland as a sovereign country.

 

The honour in the form of a certificate was bestowed to EU MP Godfrey Bloom at a colourful event organized by British Somalilanders in Sheffield city in the UK where the MP reiterated his call to the British government to recognize Somaliland as an independent country.

 

After thanking the organizers for the recognition of his efforts MP Bloom informed that his Liberal party is which committed to the international recognition of Somaliland has plans to embark on public campaigns to not only familiarize Britons with the issue but force the UK government to action.

 

Said he, "During forthcoming election campaigns the Liberal party shall post somaliland recognition support adverts in the Daily Express newspaper which shall also be geared towards urging British Somalilanders not to vote for parties whose agenda does not include the recognition of Somaliland"

 

The Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire representative wondered how the various UK governments formed by the conservative and Labour parties have for 22 years continued to turn a blind eye and deaf ears to the plight of the Horn of Africa country that was its protectorate for over 7 decades.

 

Arguing that Somaliland's quest for international recognition deserves the support of the British people and government MP Bloom urged British Somalilanders to take action now rather than later by engaging expert legal counsel for engagement with the House of commons and #10 Downing street.

 

"I always wonder why Britain continues to ignore Somalilanders whose citizens fought bravely with British soldiers during the Second World War" said EU MP Godfrey Bloom in conclusion.

 

Meanwhile the house of commons was the venue where MP Henry Bellingham informed that the Somalia Federal government has managed to restore peace and assume control of the port of Berbera.

 

The North West Norfolk Member of parliament who was contributing to a debate on the planned suspension by Barclays bank of accounts it holds for Money transfer companies among them 17 owned by citizens of Somali and Somaliland said,

 

Henry BellinghamHenry Bellingham"During my time as a Foreign and Commonwealth Office Minister for Africa and the Caribbean, I received many briefings on the importance of remittances and the role that they play. As the hon. Lady pointed out, they complement the aid and development programme of many countries, including Britain, France and America. Very often, those remittances get through to areas such as small businesses, self-employed people and small non-governmental organisations and charities that aid money can never get to. Furthermore, they bypass any infrastructure of bureaucracy or middlemen and go direct to communities, where they can make a real difference"

 

While the above sentiments carried the necessary weight on the issue of remittances MP Bellingham who was once a minister in charge of Africa displayed the lack of knowledge possessed by most British politicians in his next comment,

 

I know, from having visited Somalia on a couple of occasions, the importance of that country, which is coming out of conflict. It has been through the most appalling time. At long last, there is stability in Somaliland, and there has been for some time. There is now a Government in Mogadishu who can control much more of the country, and certainly the big cities of Kismayo, Beledweyne, and Berbera are now under the Government control. It seems that normality is resuming in some of those areas, but there is still a long way to go before a normal banking system can be set up to support businesses and communities in the way that banks do, or should do.

 

With this directed to the honourable members of the House of commons and from a sitting MP who was once chief foreign policy chief for the government in London hopes are that the likes of Godfrey Bloom shall soon take over and steer the great Country of Britain in the right direction through informed decision making.

Britain can't recognize anything before consulting with HAG and that is after all avenues have been exhausted. We ask the Somalilanders to wait.

Britain cannot overule the African union it can do that but it wont since it was a colonial power. But what Britian can do is pressure other African states to give recognition to Somaliland.Thats what western powers do, HAG is irrelavant they are powerless, they cannot give into the demands of the Somalilanders, or else they will lose all credibility Faroole might declare independence Jubbaland might declare independence if HAG supports SL and that would be the end of Somalia as a nation state. If HAG was actually in power from raskambooni to raas caseer, that would've been something , but HAG is confined in his own small territory. What Somalilanders are after is not HAG support this is not the early 90s when HAG had power. What Somalilanders want is an offical exit way out with in the talks of Somaliland which can result to the diplomatic recogntion of Somaliland. They want to create more allies in western countries in Africa. There is no more waiting in October there are renewed talks, they might fail big chance of failure, which will be good for both Somalia and Somaliland. So that we can organize new talks more serious talks with international mediation. And than we will get what we want HAG is not needed they just wil come to the negotiation table.

walaalayaalow, waa daasheen saad hadh iyo habeen mid cabsan kaga soo duubeyseen cod oo u kuleeyahay SL ha la aqoonsado. ilma adeerayaalow, kuwaan waa idin marin habaabinayaan, markaad caawa uu shubtaan, subixii wuxuu xalay yidhi ma xasuustaan.Idinkuna lacagtii iyo sharaftii intaba idinka dhamaatay!. waa kaasoo car mid xil haya oo dawladahaan galbeedka ah ka tirsan ha yidhaahdo taas!

 

war guryihiina iyo caruurtiina korsada oo lacagtaan aad habeen waliba dhagadhageeynta ku dhameeneysaan iska daaya!.

HAG is the most powerful entity in Somalia today. That can't be denied. This is why everyone is crying about HAG. If HAG was weak, there would be absolutely no need for anyone to criticize it. This is why SAHAL media is making articles about HAG everyday whereas HAG media don't even acknowledge the existence of others. HAG is a serious threat. It will only get stronger each month when the military gets larger. Don't dismiss HAG for a weak entity. HAG is friendly but HAG is not weak. HAG can be a teddy bear and a grizzly bear at the same time.

 

Listen, recognition is not in the interest of Hassan Sheikh or his people. Recognition is not even in the interests of Somaliland. The world is yet to see a pro-Somaliland administration. All the administrations Somaliland has ever had were very sympathetic to a re-union. Listen, if Somaliland is governed by politicians from the previous regime like Silanyo, Riyale and Egal for the next 5-10, then Somaliland will return to the union. My dream is for Warabe to be President. Warabe is personal friends with HAG. He meets with HAG politicians around the world in non-official governmental meetings and has dinner with them in fancy Dubai restaurants. Warabe is also from south Hargeisa, the most humble Somalilanders. Very easy to speak with and friends to be with. Warabe can be a real friend for HAG.

 

You need HAG. Don't underestimate the power of HAG or you will be sorry.

Maxa ka galay lacagtayada cidanu siino ma lacagtayada baad na la leedahay bal faduusha inta leeg eega. Goormey nooqtay ceeb ama sharaf daro hadii gaal lala heshiiyo, sawdinka gaalada kuwa ugu liita ugu faqarka badan aad la shaahaysan sharafi may dhimato markaas:D atleast Reer Somaliland gaalo naf leh oo awood leh bay la saaxiban oo la sheekeystan. Idinku ku madow o isba tisi la il daran baad naf ka daydan.

Dude easy with the empty bravado HAG is guarded by African union troops they have no control over Somalia the Sahal crew are just making noise not because you are a threat to them but because they want to undermine culusow because he acts as if he wants to be a threat to their objective Jubbaland and clan federalism. HAG is opposed to clan federalism because they cant organize them selves as a clan every HAG is based in Mogadishu now the middle regions have no federal state. And HAG is united today to stop sahal creating a majority state in Kismayo. HAG politics is very simple but HAG has no power no executive control over the land of Somalia. IGAD has more say in Somalia than HAG. HAG was powerful in the early 90s right now they have nothing to show for , they wasted their resources in silly clan infighting

 

As for Somaliland they are talking to Somalia not because they like you but the IC called for the talks. But the talks are not heading any where we know HAG has not the power to give into the demands of Somaliland. Because that would be the end of the SFG. both Puntland and Jubbaland will cut of ties or even break away we know this HAG is terrified because of that , so they want to cooperate with Somaliland on some issues. Somaliland knows this they went along with it with the talks but they know HAG has no power had HAG been in powerf from raaskambooni to raascaseer. Somaliland would've taken HAG serious. Metta Sultan faisal does not like you what is HAG and their love for Sultan Faisal. Faisal thinks HAG is the lesser evil compared to Sahal. But he does not like u he meets with you because he wants to create relationship with you. remember he is the same man who said ethiopians are closer to me than reer mogadishu. Lol Rayaale being against Somaliland independence president Rayaale told senior US officals we would go to war if needed to protect our statehood. Egal was busy making peace between reer Somaliland building institutions in his last yearS he searched for recogntion he wanted to remodel Somalia but Geele of Djibouti took the project , Cigaal was a very smart man. Silaanyo is the longest serving SNM Chairman the man has done allot for Somaliland he radically changed Somaliland foreign policy for the good creating investments starting oil projects Found a way to get investment and doing trade with other countries using the SDC. Opened up talk with Somalia, silaanyo is a very smart man.

HAG is not needed, HAG just need to be HAG if they can do that everything will be good:D
