With regards to MBC's differences with Michael Keating. This was mostly in relation to Tukaraq. As you may know, MBC came to office in December of 2017 and Somaliland moved to Tukaraq in Jan 2018, barely less than a month after being sworn in. Michael Keating proposed for Somaliland to vocate Tukaraq and go back to Gambadhe hence making Tukaraq a no-miilitary zone. Puntland will remain where they are and will not move to Tukaraq once Somaliland vocates. MBC disagreed and told Michael Keating that Somaliland's borders are few 5km from Garowe, hence Somaliland will only go forward not backwards. We all know how things stand there. With regards to DP World, as far as I know both the Military Base and Commercial Port are on track. In fact, it is Villa AMISom that ran to every organistion from Arab League to United Nations and came back empty handed. So whose defeat is it? I will be happily posting information of DP World/Military Base as they come. Stay tuned. With regards to Air Traffic Control, It was President Silaanyo and President HSM that signed an agreement regarding this issue. The agreement was to share the control of the Somali Airspace and move the control centre to Hargeisa. Somaliland, like any other functioning Govn't, is still sticking to what their President have signed. However, it is Villa AMISom that do not respect their previous office holder's signatures. Which will bite them back when the current office holders leave. The ones that will come after them will null and void their agreements and so it goes. In the end, Somaliland will win this. And is actually one of the points it has on the table when Somaliland and Somalia open new round of talks. Whoever that is mediating the two will need to come up with assurances that will satisfy Somaliland that Mogadishu will not back-pedal on biliteral agreements. The SDF issue was a failure for VIlla AMISom. All the donor countries sided with Somaliland. The IC have asked Somaliland to talk with Somalia and reach an agreement. Somaliland have fullfilled its side of the bargain. And all these issues that Villa AMISom is creating without hope of winning, will only reinforce the IC to eventually wake up to the reality and start siding with Somaliland on this issue. And remember, Somaliland only needs a Golden-Goal so to speak in Football terms, and the Hargeisa+Mogadishu issue will be all over.

Snm hadalkooda iyo qoraalkoodu wax macnaa lagama soo qaado. Qofku markuu naf baxayo wuxuu jecel yahay inuu ku dhawaaqo wixii maskaxdiisa ugu dambaysay sida aqoonsi iyo ninka la cayriyay asalkiisu ma ingiriis baa? Ducooyinka ugu fiican muslinka waxaa ugu fiican ilaahow khaatumafa noo suubi aamiin yaa allah.

Eventhough you are correct in saying that everone knows what Mogadishu does - have zero bearing on Somaliland 'on its own'. Yet, when it comes to the 'powers that be', those who are withholding Somaliland's recognition, then it is good idea that Somaliland has to be on the record just to hammer the point of difference home. As you can hear from Somalia's Foreign Minister the issues that have prompted VillaAMISOM are much deeper and involve the Somaliland Somalia issues as well of which SRSG Haysom is taken a renewed interest with a view to settle the issue within his term in office. Obviously Somaliland knows a lot of these behind the curtains communications and wants to be heard that we have no problems with the work done by SRSG Haysom thus far. It is politics.

Suldaan Hadal badan wax ma taraayo deep down you know you guys are disappointed with this Somaliland statement like many Landers are today it's kind of wake-up call There was absolutely no need Somaliland to make statement in this issue as the UN and IC knows that Somaliland is not part of federal government. Why make themselves fools
