Unionists Hire Lobbying Firm

Recommended Posts

It seems there is more lobbyists in Washington writing about Somaliland than ever before. In my opinion this is good advertisement. The more eyeballs and minds thinking about Somaliland the better. 

Lobbying is not cheap, It will be a great shame if they do not sustain their effort and sign up for multi-year deals which is cheaper than one off contracts. 

In any case, I welcome the fact that Somaliland has finally getting the attention it deserves (for the better or for the worse) which ever side you are on.

Turns out that the so called Lobby Firm is actually a lone wolf who has some access to the Black Caucus members. 

He is probably the cheapest lobbying service in Washington.

That guy is not a lobbyist. He is actually an employee of the State Department. He started as an analyst in African issues and used to write reports about Somaliland/Somalia issue for the Christian Science Monitor Newspaper.

Since then, he joined the State Department and has held a number of positions for the US in Africa. Potentially he could be assigned to the Horn of Africa sometime in the future, so do not count him out.

No I am not underestimating, but traditionally speaking the Black caucus are not the go to for Foreign policy issues. Probably the one issue that is exception to this rule is if it is related to race or Black people in Africa. This is where the Amhara uses to get the blacks interested. They sell the idea that Ethiopia, the only African country that resisted colonialism, is under attack. 

They could careless about an issue like Somaliland vs Somalia. I don't think they even like to side one way or another in as far as African issues is concerned.  

But the Lobby firms that specialise in Foreign Policy and have access to the policy makers that set the guidelines as far as Foreign policy is concerned, those Firms do not come cheap. We are talking about highly sought after firms that have many foreign states as customers from Arabs to Asia all the way to Europe itself. 

This is the group that Somaliland has tapped into and have arranged the upcoming meeting between Somaliland officials and key gov't officials in Washington come this March.

Biden couldn't have been president without the support of black people. Congressional black caocus is one of the most powerful in congress. Of course they mostly concentrate on black issues, but as African economic power grows, so does their imput. THe Amhara diapora had turned the tide by focusing the black community, and even voting republican if America doesn't change its policy.

One major issue the Hargeisa crowd doesn't understand is no one will back a " none issue secession". How can Ethiopia entertain seperation while Tigray and Somali Galbeed is mulling to get out? it is a none stareter.

Bashir Goth and company had made few bucks in this saga.

Tigray doesn’t want independence and it isn’t interested in that they had thirty years to do it . They do not want it and onlf have given up on seperation al together. The strongest case for independence in Africa is Somaliland

Actually the geo-politics in the region has changed everything. It is not only Somaliland that is after something but there seems to be shared interest from both sides.

Key US Senators have been sold what Somaliland could offer the US in the turbulent and dictator-ridden Horn of Africa and that is huge in my books.
