There are unconfirmed reports that Somaliland’s President Dahir Rayale Kahin will depart to the United States on an official visit early January 2008. If that visit materializes, as far as Somaliland is concerned, it could not have come at a better time. We say this for four sets of reasons that have to do with the United States, Somalia, the Horn of Africa region and Somaliland. The United States For a number of years, the US has focused on eliminating terrorist threats emanating from Mogadishu. The US tried various approaches including hiring warlords; and when that approach failed, it decided to shore up the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia ( TFG), an entity it had initially ignored. After a year of US support for the TFG and despite the backing of thousands of Ethiopian and Ugandan troops, it is now clear that the US policy towards Somalia has failed to produce any positive results. This glaring failure of US policy toward Somalia has strengthened the position of those within the administration (mainly but not exclusively the department of defense) who have been arguing for a change in US policy which involves recognizing Somaliland. Somalia The situation in Somalia looks very dismal with almost daily clashes between Ethiopian troops and insurgents which has produced several thousand dead in Mogadishu and many more displaced people. Much of the south has descended deeper into anarchy. Even Puntland, the home region of the ailing elderly “President” of Somalia, Abdillahi Yusuf, is suffering from an upsurge in the frequency of piracy, kidnappings and various acts of lawlessness. The Horn of Africa The Horn of Africa is a dangerous region known for protracted conflict and famine, and all indications are that it is getting more dangerous, especially with the increasing possibility of war between Eritrea and Ethiopia over their unresolved border. Somaliland While conditions are far from perfect in Somaliland, and the country suffers from serious problems such as widespread poverty and poor infrastructure, it is the most stable and promising Somali territory, and the most democratic place in the Horn of Africa. Moreover, Somaliland is implicitly accepted as a sovereign state by many countries as evidenced by the participation of Somaliland’s Electoral Commission in monitoring the Kenyan election. Somaliland also has other assets: -Having maintained its independence for sixteen years, Somaliland has shown that it is not a transient phenomenon but is here to stay. -Somaliland has excellent relations with Ethiopia, an important US ally. - Mr Raila Odinga, a friend of Somaliland who called on the international community to recognize Somaliland is likely to be the next president of Kenya. -Somaliland has a strategic location bordering the Gulf of Aden, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Djibouti. From this brief survey, it should be clear that when, and if, Somaliland’s President Dahir Rayale Kahin visits Washington, he would not sit at the negotiation table with empty hands but would sit there with important cards in his grip. We hope he plays them right. Source: Somaliland Times

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your efforts in supporting the democratization process in Somaliland., we also wish to extend our gratitude for your relentless exertion and concern in securing our release during the last four months and twenty three days we have been unjustly imprisoned by the current Somaliland government. The international community continues to engage with Somaliland on a range of different issues, mostly directed at the continued progress towards democratization and economic development and in this regard we would like to urge you to continue your support and engagement in bringing about the kind of government that will practice good and responsible governance that is responsive to the wishes of the its people. Furthermore, with the coming local and presidential elections, Somaliland faces additional hurdles of conducting a voter registration process and unresolved Constitutional questions about new political association vying to take part in the political process of the country. This will require intense and sustained commitment from the international community, patience and willingness to resolve all disputes with civility, dialogue, respect for the other and a strong commitment to resolve differences by peaceful means, so that Somaliland can remain an island of stability in the volatile region of the Horn of Africa. We are confident that the people of Somaliland and members of the international community that have invested time and resources to foster peace, stability, democracy and the rule of law will once again rise to the occasion and make Somaliland a viable and successful member of the expanding democratic global village. Wishing you all a happy, peaceful and prosperous new year. Sincerely, Chairman of Qaran Dr. Mohamed A. Gabose, 1st Vice Chair of Qaran Eng.

Emperior, You didn't answer my question at all. Don't be scared ,, i'm not gonna kill you now (may be later ) .... I'm still asking: If the tfg ciidan is strong and not-shakable why xabashis are there ? and furthermore, why there is a need for AU forces ?

I believe that day is not far off, but when it happens there will be no lowering of flags, just an acceptance of history: On this day 47 years ago, the Union Jack came down on a remote corner of Africa and the former protectorate of British Somaliland, with its capital in Hargeisa, gained independence. It was a day of celebration. Freedom had been granted without a fight; no insurgency like Kenya's Mau Mau or civil war as happened in Zimbabwe. Alas, all that and worse would follow, but in 1960, Somaliland was seen as a place of promise, where races, religions and people from different backgrounds got on well. Indeed, many of the British civil servants were sad to leave and some stayed on as welcome members of our new republic. A week later, we entered into voluntary union with the former Italian Somaliland to the south, creating Somalia with its capital in Mogadishu, but today the old boundaries are back and, while we can't undo the past, we must learn from it. So, please, allow me a few paragraphs while I chronicle what happened, because those events have shaped the way I and my people view the present. Somalia got off to a good start, but the 1960s and 1970s were a tough time for democracy and all too soon we found ourselves ruled by a military dictator. One by one, our freedoms disappeared. Media fell under state control; opposition parties were banned; critics vanished in the night and those who came back were scarred by torture. English — our second language in the North — was spurned by the Italian-speaking south; all power went to Mogadishu and, by the 1980s, Somaliland had became a poor relation with run-down schools, little investment and no say in how the country was run. In 1985, the North known today as the Republic of Somaliland sought to regain its independence and so began a war of liberation. The late dictator Siad Barre, who ruled Somalia at the time, responded by bombing whole towns and villages and, when that did not turn the people of Somaliland, his army lined up thousands of civilians along the banks of the Maroodijeex river that flows through Hargeisa and opened fire on them with machine guns. The skeletons are still there, just below the sand. When Barre was overthrown in 1991, Somalia fell into chaos. The United States tried to help and President Clinton sent troops, but it was too little, too late. Unwilling to be trapped in a failed state, the former British Somaliland retook its independence on May 18, 1991, and, 16 years on, the peace and prosperity we had hoped for in 1960 is back on track. Historically, our marriage with the South wasn't that long when you think of countries like Czechoslovakia, which lasted almost a century before creating the Czech and Slovak republics. But like the nations of Eastern Europe that split from the Soviet Union, or Eritrea in its break from Ethiopia, the divorce is permanent and this is the key to understanding Somaliland. f the South — still known as Somalia — underwent a miracle and became as stable as Botswana, as prosperous as Singapore and as democratic as South Africa, we would not go back into union. The two countries might work closely together, like the United States and Canada, but our independence will never be on the table. This is not rhetoric. In a 2001 we held a referendum on the subject in which almost a million people voted; 97 percent endorsed the split. We were separate for 80 years as a British protectorate, gained our independence with the Queen's signature on it, and have been on our own again for almost two decades. What remains is for the world to recognize our legal status as they did in 1960. This process requires a few robust states to follow up on the positive African Union 2005 fact-finding report on Somaliland. Rwanda and Ghana appear to be leading by example. I believe that day is not far off, but when it happens there will be no lowering of flags, just an acceptance of history: that at midnight on 26 June 1960, Somaliland joined the family of nations as a free country in charge of its destiny. And that's how we remain, with the bonus that in 2007 we have a real democracy and the kind of peace and prosperity that offers hope in a region where the even the word has long been out of use. That, surely, is cause for celebration. Dahir Riyale Kahin is president of the Republic of Somaliland. Source The Washington Times Editorial:

Emperor, If they are strong and unshakable then you've to explain why the xabashis are there ?

By: Mrs Edna Adan Ismail Since Somaliland declared its independence in 1991, there have been falsehoods peddled across the world about our intentions. The falsehoods have hinged on the size of our territory as being "too small" yet Somaliland is bigger in size than 80 countries including England and Wales combined. With a population of 3.5 million, Somaliland has a larger population than 83 countries that are full members of the United Nations. On the other hand, Somalia became independent from Italy one week after Somaliland following which the two independent Somali `states' united to become the Republic of Somalia, from 1960 to 1991. Because of these differences, conflict between Somaliland and Somalia was inevitable and became apparent very soon after union. It was aggravated further when the capital was moved to Mogadishu, taking with it the economy and everything else that mattered to the people of Somaliland. Our schools, hospitals, and other public services gradually lost importance or became totally shut down. This caused discontent and eventually led to open hostility. The disappointment of the people was such that it prompted the Sand Hurst-trained army officers of Somaliland to attempt a military coup as early as December 1961, to separate the two countries. Regretfully, the coup failed and over the years, generated even more hostility and punitive measures against the people of Somaliland. The conflict between the people of Somaliland and the government of Somalia worsened and culminated into an all out war. By 1988, the government resorted to the aerial bombardment of the major cities of Somaliland, and indiscriminately killed the inhabitants, destroyed civilian dwellings, schools, hospitals, and mosques. The report of the American Human Rights Watch described the brutality they witnessed as `a Government at war with its own people'. Finally by 1991, Somaliland was free again and its people began to rebuild the country. It is important to appreciate that this reconstruction, and Somaliland's political maturity, have been achieved without the international recognition on which nearly all other nations under the sun expect and receive. Somaliland's lack of recognition means that we cannot receive more than a few crumbs from the table of international community. We receive no assistance from the World Bank, no aid from international agencies; only a few international NGOs are present in Somaliland. We are indeed in all respect the envy of many African countries! The generally accepted criteria for statehood, as laid down by the Montevideo Convention of 1933, are as follows: A permanent population, defined territory, government that controls most of the country, capacity to enter into relations with other states. The territory of Somaliland is defined by the borders of the former British Somaliland Protectorate, which are defined by the following international treaties: The Anglo-French Treaty of 1888, the Anglo-Italian Protocol of 1894 and the Anglo-Ethiopian Treaty of 1897. We have our own passport, our own currency, our own judiciary, and our system of tax collection from which we generate the resources we need to run our country. We all know that `defined territory' does not mean that boundaries are undisputed. Many states in Africa or elsewhere have un-demarcated or disputed frontiers with their neighbours. Somaliland's boundary dispute with northern Somalia neither invalidates the treaties that defined our colonial borders, nor detracts from Somaliland's claim to a defined territory. Somaliland stands neither for secession nor for the revision of Africa's border. The prime task of the government of the Republic of Somaliland is to protect the territorial integrity of the nation and the inherent interest and dignity of its citizens as we have done successfully, peacefully, as a democracy, for the last 15 years. Somaliland enjoys cooperative relations with a variety of foreign Governments and intergovernmental organisations on a broad range of security, immigration, economic and developmental issues. These partners include, but are not limited to Denmark, Holland, Djibouti, the European Commission, Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the United Nations. Regarding our failed union with Somalia, we are by no means the first African State to have entered into a voluntary union with another and subsequently withdrawn from that union intact. Other African countries have all done likewise and have never been punished for it as Somaliland is being punished. Independence and sovereignty for Somaliland is a reality with no turning back the clock. By: East African Standard
