The irony of it all is that the Somaliland ”patriotism” you so firmly promote here is commonly seen as nothing but a mere clan chauvinism, for there is no “nationality”, apart from identity with clan and arbitrary Some people from somewhere always clan minded ...... Allow sahal.

Anyhow, the one sure way that Somaliland can force Ethiopia to extend full recognition to Somaliland is to abandon the secession altogether, and reconcile with Southern Somalia! ..... Nala midooba Ethiopia ha idin ictiraaftee miyaa sheekada ,,, hahaha

In conclusion, if Somaliland leaders are serious about the secession, which I have no doubt they are, it is imperative for them to focus all of their energy and lobbying efforts on Ethiopia, Another Xabashi Wanabe ?? ,,,,,

Appointed presidential delegation representing the Republic of Djibouti and Kenya are expected to arrive in Hargeisa later today to attend the inauguration of Somaliland President-elect Ahmed Mohamed Silaanyo on Monday July 26th, local sources said. The Djibouti Delegation consisting of 12 members were appointed by President Ismail Omar Guelleh and will be led by the Minister of Finance, Ali Farah Adnan. Mr Adnan will be joined by Ali Abdi Farah, Minister of Communication and Culture, Mohamed Somali, Chairman of National Initiative for Social Development, Ahmed Hersi, Secretary General of the Ministry of Justice and Hashi Abdillahi Orrah, Senior Advisor to the President of Djibouti. On the Kenyan side, it’s still unclear the number and the exact details about their delegation but sources close to the new administration indicated, the Kenyan delegation will arrive after the Djiboutians. A number of senior ministers is expected to be among those Nairobi sends to Hargeisa. This comes weeks after, former Kenyan Minister for Trade and Industry, Dr Mukhisa Kituyi called on the Kenyan government to re-think its policy towards Somalia and immediately recognize Somaliland (see Former Kenyan minister calls for recognition of Somaliland). A number of senior Kenyan ministers and MPs support Dr Kituyi’s vision including the Prime Minister, Raila Odinga. The newly-elected president, Ahmed Mohamed Silaanyo, a British educated, won 49 percent of the vote in the June 26th presidential elections. The election has being hailed free and fair by international observers, organizations, media, neighboring countries and both by the United Kingdom and the United States. The British PM David Cameron praised the election as “peaceful and credible” and promised to do more. President Dahir Riyale Kahin, who managed around 33 percent of the vote gracefully accepted the defeat paving the way for a peaceful transition of political power. Mr Riyale said he will stay in politics as an opposition leader. The results were endorsed by the Chief Justice Mohamed Hersi Omane on the 11th of July. Ever since Somaliland has been preparing it self for the inauguration of the President-elect. Police and military have been placed on red alert while large security contingents were taken to the border with neighbouring Somalia. Foreign intelligence led by the British have also been pouring into Hargeisa and large Somaliland Diasporas have managed to make their way into the country. Some are here to witness the historical day while others want to get a position in the new government. The al-Qaeda-inspired al-Shabab operating in Somalia have voiced against the elections and urged people not to practice the ‘evil principle’ however more than half a million cast their votes. Silaanyo will face a number of economic, social and security problems. Unemployment is one of the biggest challenges Silaanyo will have to overcome during his term. The region is largely known for it’s endless wars and the failed state of Somalia is just next door. Many Somalis are hoping Silaanyo will engage with Somalia – a country where he once held the Minister of Commerce portfolio. The election was largely financed by a number of EU countries, UK and the United States. The UK plans to send a delegation to Hargeisa during the inaugurations from it’s embassy in Addis Ababa, its unclear if the U.S. will send anyone. Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud Silaanyo and his Vice Abdulrahman Abdullahi Ismael ‘Saylaci’ will take the oath of office on Monday July 26th for a term of five years. Somaliland gained its independence from Great Britain in June 1960 and voluntarily merged with its neighbour, Italian Somaliland, forming what was known as the Somali Republic. But that union went sour after a short period and Somaliland was forced to take arms against Mogadishu. The regime in Mogadishu collapsed in 1991 and Somaliland declared the restoration of its sovereignty – however no nation has since accepted Somaliland.

He couldn't wait .... he thought it is today ,,

Today, 26th July 2010, Somaliland marks another watershed in its continuing story of progress, democratic achievement and political maturity. Today Ahmed Mohamed Mahmoud ‘Silanyo' assumes the Presidency, having won the election held a month earlier, and Dahir Riyalle Kahin hands over the reins of power in a much anticipated and joyful handover ceremony that was organised by the outgoing government. The fact that a peaceful, free and fair election was successfully organised and held without serious unrest; the fact that the incumbent was defeated by the opposition candidate; the fact that incumbent graciously accepted defeat without rancour and dissent; and the fact all of this took place in an African country has been the source of much comment in the international press, and rightly so. What is a true miracle is that all of this happened in an unrecognised country that is neighbour to the most famous (or is it infamous) failed state in modern history, and which has war and insurgency raging across two of its three borders. But then, Somaliland specialises in such types of miracles, and some of them are worth enumerating here. Firstly, Somaliland has successfully resettled some half a million refugees since 1991 with little or no help from the international community - this in a country in which the major urban centres, including the capital Hargeisa, were nearly completely destroyed during the decade-long Liberation War against the Siyad Barre dictatorship. Secondly, despite some initial conflicts, Somaliland successfully disarmed the clan militias that had defeated the dictatorship and established an open and vibrant representative democracy that drew upon its own socio-political and cultural traditions as well as upon the Western model of a separation of powers between the executive, legislature and judiciary. Thirdly, despite the most severe pressures placed upon its young polity by the outside world, ranging from neglect and insistence of the UN and other aid agencies that it was part and parcel of Somalia to the south, to the embargo upon its principal exports, i.e. livestock, by its primary market, i.e. Saudi Arabia, the people of Somaliland refused to be drawn into the anarchic madness across their border, and they refused to let the peace, stability and open society that they had created for themselves to be hijacked. Since 2003 Dahir Riyalle Kahin has presided over this amazing and unique experiment in African democratic governance that has been aptly called "Africa's best kept secret". Mr. Riyalle came to the job with little or no political experience when he succeeded President Egal after the latter's sudden death in a South African hospital. Yet during his tenure, which included winning the Presidential election of 2004 admittedly by a very thin margin, Mr. Riyalle has demonstrated time and again a maturity and faith in the good judgement of his people that is exemplary. He has, for instance, refused to be drawn into war with Puntland over it numerous provocations in respect of the Sool & Sanaag regions, including its invasion of these regions in 2007. His policy of patience and dialogue with the leaders of the people of these regions bore fruit when the people of Sool & Sanaag ejected the invaders from their territory and reasserted their allegiance to Somaliland. Similarly, Mr. Riyalle responded to the embargo on livestock imports by carefully and methodically establishing the fallacy of the health reasons given for its imposition through credible, international certifications. Allied to this effort was the patient and repeated representations to the Saudi authorities demonstrating the sound health of Somaliland livestock as determined by reputable international organisations. The final plank of this strategy was the forging of commercial alliances with established Saudi livestock merchants that were able to not only lobby their own authorities, but also invest the funds required to establish gathering facilities for the livestock where health certification by reputable authorities could be effected. The strategy bore fruit and in 2009 the Saudi livestock ban was lifted with the result that some 800,000 head were exported during the first three months after the lifting. On the issue of recognition, Mr. Riyalle and his government spared no effort and both he and his Foreign Minister travelled widely to promote Somaliland's case for recognition. The steadily widening support for Somaliland's case in Africa, Arabia, Europe and North America is due in large part to this concerted and sustained effort. During Mr. Riyalle's term, Somaliland was accorded Observer status in the Commonwealth and the African Union as well as securing the support of countries such as Ghana and Burundi for its claim for recognition. The success of these efforts is evident in the widely held view by many commentators that the successful holding of the recent elections is the final requirement that many countries have made to supporting international recognition of some form for Somaliland. With respect to domestic politics, it is well known that Mr. Riyalle has been a firm and true defender of the country's peace and stability. There have been several instances of clan-based conflict when certain elements and ‘hotheads' had sought to foment domestic unrest over the last few years. Mr. Riyalle has been firm and resolute in rejecting these provocations and he has consistently called upon the elders and Guurti members to defuse these conflicts before the ‘hotheads' were able to conflate them. He has been the foremost and most stalwart defender of Somaliland's peace and stability and history will most certainly honour him for this service to our country. In conclusion, as a Somaliland citizen, I want to thank Mr. Riyalle and Mr. Ahmed Yassin, his Vice President, most heartily and unreservedly for their exemplary service on behalf of our nation. Mr. Riyalle, we shall never forget your service and your calm and wise leadership at a crucial juncture in Somaliland's history of achievement. The common thread running through Mr. Riyalle's actions as President of Somaliland is a mature calmness of approach, a resolute commitment to maintaining and defending our hard won peace and stability, and an unswerving faith and confidence in the political maturity of our people. What more can one ask of a President - so Mr. Riyalle thank you for your calm, wise and mature leadership. Finally, I also wish to congratulate Mr. Silanyo on his assumption of Somaliland's Presidency, and I wish him every success in his endeavours on our behalf. Ahmed M.I. Egal
