He profited from the suffering of south Somalia so of course he will say he is pro Somaliweyn to keep his offices in the south open.

If another extension happens it will be the final in the coffin for the Somaliland project.

07/07/2017 President Silanyo is nearing the end of his term amid an economic crisis. According to our sources, it's increasingly unlikely the presidential election will be held on Nov. 13 as announced on June 10 by Abdukadir Iman Warsame, chairman of the National Electoral Commission (NEC) A campaign to distribute election cards has fallen behind time and Somaliland is still lacking the $5 million it needs to stage the ballot. The United Nations and European Union having suspended their pledge to pay 75% of the $9 million required for the election, the government of president Ahmed Mohamed Mahamoud Aka Silanyo has only managed to scrape up $4 million (in two installments) for the NEC. A delegation from Somaliland headed by Musa Bihi Abdi , who's both the leader of the ruling Kulmiye party in Hargeisa and its candidate in the coming election, is due to fly to Riyadh and Dubai to appeal for financial assistance in return for Somaliland's backing for the two countries in the Qatar crisis (ION 1453). Indeed, information gleaned by the Indian Ocean Newsletter indicates that the coffers of the Bank of Somaliland are empty. The country is facing a grave economic crisis twinned with a financial crunch. An embargo on Somaliland cattle imposed by Saudi Arabia has vastly reduced inputs of hard currency (ION 1444) but the situation has been worsened by the re-routing of taxes that Hargeisa should pick up from operations in the port of Berbera, which is mainly managed by the private UAE operator DP World (ION 1451). According to our sources, DP World indeed opened an account at Dahabshiil, , an international funds transfer agency, in Hargeisa. But Dahabshiil is said to have transferred the money to DP World's accounts in the UAE. As a result, DP World doesn't declare losses in Berbera but doesn't pay taxes on its operations in Somaliland, either. To make matters worse, Somaliland's shilling has plunged against the dollar at a moment when the country depends more than ever on imports. https://www.africaintelligence.com/ION/corridors-of-power/2017/07/07/hargeisa-faces-unprecedented-financial-crunch,108253338-ART

Somaliland way duushay.

@Holac said: That is very very bad. Are people in that desperate situation in Somaliland? The drought hit Caynabo region the worse so that is why people are resorting to bush-meat. Overall there is no government assistance to rural people because it doesn't exist. This is the reality backhome not the "Somaliland way duushay" nonsense.

"Ahmed Abdi Omar, 17, holds tight to the rope around a porcupine just outside the city of Aynabo in southeastern Somaliland. The porcupine was captured because it was destroying crops. Omar's family planned to eat it. Two weeks earlier a dispute over grazing land in this community left one villager dead." Nichole Sobecki "

@Holac said: Was Somaliland earning cash from this before? Nope. The UN agencies in Nairobi were for many decades.

Well said gooni. Ramadan kareem to all SOLers.

It is not unbelievable since Djibouti is just around the corner.

Talaabo's thinking and the inability to face the reality is why Somaliland is a political failure close to 30 years. 99% of Africa countries experienced war (examples: Rwanda, Angola and many more) but they got up and rised. There is no excuse for failure.
-
@Tallaabo said: The funny thing is that this list can also aptly describe the vast majority of the African nations who have been independent for more than six decades. I think Somaliland did pretty well in those 26 years but of course we could have done a lot more if our politicians were more honest and competent. Even Malawi the poorest country in Africa has better infrastructure than Somaliland. So no Somaliland did not do "well" it had 26 years and failed. You must have no standards to say it did well . Lilongwe capital of Malawi (Africa's poorest country).

I guess she wants more money she can steal. How can it be right that Silanyo and Amina Jirdeh are overweight with all the money they stole while the average person in Somaliland is starving? I will not trust her with even a penny.

Somaliland politicians are hypocrites. They know recognition will never come but try to brainwash the civilians with fairy-tales. Faysal cali waraabe midnimada Somaliland iyo Somalia ,kaygii ugu fogaa ayaa idiin yimid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_Gx6IJNFyE

I will keep preaching the truth. I don't live in a bubble thankfully. My eyes are open. Hopefully the Somaliland youth backhome can also realize that 26 years of "we will get recognized" is just a pie in the sky, nothing more.

Oodweyne My point is don't put too much faith on Sland, at the end of the day it is just another tribal backward 4th world region in Somalia where clan clashes, corruption etc are the norm of the day. Never get your hopes too high otherwise you will be disappointed. Unlike you I live in the real world I know Sland is nothing but a backward hellhole (went there many times), the roads in Hargeisa the so called "capital" aren't even paved nor is there even water. Do you expect someone who lives in first world like me to be impressed with that? I don't have low standards. Landers here want to live in a fake bubble, Sland has nothing but just some peace so does Puntland and Jubbaland wax uu gar ah Somaliland maha , in terms of development though it is lagging behind Mogadishu 10x. I know it is a bitter pill to swallow but those are the facts.
