    Agreed all that, but on top of that, there are other issues also besides that. And by that I mean, as you know in our "Somaliland's Culture", we really don't like "over-muscled-up-bullies", which is what PRC does it across to the third-world with its "wolf-warrior diplomacy". Particularly in the sense of bullying, diplomatically and financially, any nation or state who does anything they so much disagree with it.

    Absolutely. Cashar fiican ayaa loo dhigay. 

    But in the grand scheme of things, this issue is one of principles, Somaliland will maintain its relations with Taiwan because it makes sense. 

    yes, China has a lot of money. But money is not everything. If you want to see the legacy of China in Africa, one needs to look closely at Angola, Mozambique and Zambia. Not the shining examples of success.

    Taiwan and Somaliland maintain effective communications, and their alliance is built on their shared values of protecting freedom, democracy and human rights, the spokeswoman said.

    This is effectively what China doesn't understand. China is not compatible with Somaliland and hence it is this very reason why the Chinese delegation in Hargeisa will go back empty handed.

    Taiwan's Foreign Ministry spokes person reiterates that Taiwan and Somaliland have direct communications and their relationship is built on shared values. 

    "Asked about Somaliland’s plans, as reported by the Web site, ministry spokeswoman Joanne Ou (歐江安) told a news briefing in Taipei that the ministry would not comment on opinions of anonymous sources.

    Taiwan and Somaliland maintain effective communications, and their alliance is built on their shared values of protecting freedom, democracy and human rights, the spokeswoman said.

    Taiwan’s representative office in Hargeisa is set to be formally established at the end of this month or early next month, although the plan could change due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she said."

    American law makers have a notorious obsession with naming their laws this way. 

    Anyway, it is getting more and more interesting and it seems Taiwan is actually becoming a high priority for Washington. 

    For the first time in many decades the Whitehouse is sending an official high level delegation from the US Gov't.

    In the established tradition of governance a care-taker government's job is limited continuation of Business as usual governmental tasks. A care-taker gov't does not pass new laws nor does it seek to announce any major new under-takings.

    It seems, Cheeseman is upended that tradition. Since Deputy PM Khadar assumed (illegally) the role of Prime Minister, he has made major announcements, ala Boobsiis (Reer Koonfur term)

    Cheeseman and co seem to actually be troubled by third party journalists investigating these reports about the civilian death. They do not want to know, and they wished eveyrone else be the same.  

    You here about COVID 19 death tally but when will they ever have the balls to come on TV and list the names of the victims of these bombings.
