Saalax Posted August 21, 2015 Africa Intelligence 19/08/2015 SOMALILAND SPECIAL REPORT "The port of Berbera in Somaliland that lies across from Aden in Yemen has stirred the lust of France's Bollore and Dubai-based DP World. The two groups are strongly lobbying Somaliland president Ahmed Mohamed Mahamoud, a k a Silanyo, for a contract to manage the port. Silanyo has deliberately strung the two along and plays on the strategic importance of Berbera in his dealings with both Mogadishu and his Western partners.The latter are about to freeze their financial aid to Somaliland, reproaching Silanyo for his lack of involvement in the fight against the radical Islamist movement Al Shabaab and the two year extension he added on to his term as the country's leader." http://www.africaintelligence.com/ion/report/somaliland-berbera-bollore-dpworld-president-silanyo-ahmed-mohamed-mahamoud Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saalax Posted August 23, 2015 Indeed. Biggest mistake Silanyo made is he underestimated the west thinking they won't notice his leniency towards Al Shabab. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
