President Hasan of Somalia ready for Somaliland talks Resumption Sunday, 16 September 2012 07:57 President Hasan wnats talks resumption MOGADISHU (Somalilandsun) – The internationally sanctioned talks between Somaliland and Somalia have termed as appropriate. Then newly elected president of Somalia Hassan Sheikh Mahmud said this during an interview with the VOA in Mogadishu where he also informed that security was his priority number one. Stressing on the importance of the talks between the countries, President Hassan Sheikh Mahmud, who replaces sheikh Sharif said that his administration would re-engage Somaliland as a follow to the past and successful discussions held with the outgoing TFG government. "Although am all for unity, Somaliland's sovereignty should not be belittled thus forced to rejoin the south but enticed through friendly means" Said president Hasan Perceived as a political moderate the academic president congratulated the governments of Somaliland and the outgoing TFG for initiating the talks between the former united nations that have not seen eye to eye in 21 years. He said that the talks suspended by Somaliland authorities awaiting a TFG replacement government would resume as soon as possible for the sake of establishing humane rapport as well as for the greater good of the Horn of Africa region. Incoming Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mahmud, the target of an assassination attempt earlier this week, says restoring security will be his first order of business once he officially assumes office Sunday. Mahmud spoke Saturday to VOA from the country's heavily fortified presidential palace in Mogadishu where He arrived, three days early, under heavy security hours after three suicide bombers attacked a Mogadishu hotel where he was residing. At least four people, including all three bombers, were killed. The first Somali President selected in Somalia soil in 21 years said his first presidential priority would be to determine why so many young Somali men and women have sought to join the outlawed al-Shabaab militant group. He said his administration would then try to create what he called "opportunities for them to defect from [the] al-Shabaab group." He also called on militants to leave Somalia voluntarily as soon as possible. Speaking of the assassination attempt, Mr. Mahmud said he knew he would be facing serious risks when he decided to seek the presidency. Nevertheless, he said the attack would not deter him from upcoming duties. Mahmud, elected September 10, takes over a country that has not had a stable central government since 1991. However, hopes for peace and stability are rising. Al-Shabaab has lost most of its major strongholds to African Union and Somali government forces, and peace has largely returned to Mogadishu, which endured years of almost daily fighting. Last month, Somali leaders adopted a new constitution and installed a new federal parliament and speaker.

Somaliland is not part of Somalia so whether Somalias leaders give the people of somaliland one seat in their parliament or 20 it doesnt matter it doesnt change anything the MPs that are supposed to rep Somaliland according to ur constitution. And if they set foot in Somaliland get arrested. As for .5 clan how do you want to solve their issue.5 is not one clan its a group of smaller clans and they seem to be happy with their place in Somalia.

They are not world leaders they are African leaders and the Foreign Minister of Turkey.

You can't say Somaliland is not part of that formula which you and I know it is, and accept the 0.5 part to suggest some Somalis are lower than the other. Whether you agree or disagree the political status of SL, a point out of the 4.5 is allocated for Somaliland. This part you oppose but you accept the point five part. Why? I have nothing against the 4.5 Jacpher he people in Somalia are not against 4.5

Jacpher;870241 wrote: ^Yeah in that formula, Somaliland is part of that 4.5 Somalia but you conveniently ignore that one. Why? Somaliland is not part of Somalia so they cant be part of that system. But jacpher that system is how the system operates in Somalias parliament hate it or love it thats the system.

Jacpher;870235 wrote: Who you calling 0.5 dawg? :mad: No Somali is more Somali than another Somali. Well that's their place in Political Somalia it doesn't mean they are less or more that's how the formula works.

The Prime minister most likely will be from the Puntland clan as it looks like with a less smaller chance being from the gedo and cabuudwaaq community

Horta is it technically possible for the President to appoint a person from the .5 clan for the PM position?

Indeed a big day for Somalia a new start and a new beginning

He can't show any tactical flexibility in his selection.It is the way the clan power is set. As the author clearly explained the president will only appoint a D-block prime minister (Sorry the Samatar). Well said that's how it looks like for now.

Eventhough he is a dictator, he is a Somali dictator. So I guess he deserves it. He is not a dictator and he spoke well ur right on that.
