Back then, Riyaleh looked absent minded and as reading from a script, in one of those elections related "ictiraaf" trips.

 

My remark had to do with the absence of a neutral atmosphere for a proper debate, as many locals from Awdal, SSC etc, including Hargeysa natives, were not keen on separatism:

 

 

"Q: There are a lot of people from disputed territorial areas who would like a

healthy debate across Somaliland and Somalia. What can you do to encourage

this?

 

A: 97 percent of people who voted in a referendum approved that Somaliland

should be free from Somalia, so this debate has already taken place."

Thankful   

JB what people voted? You are saying you had an internationally monitored referendum? Or are you talking about the Burco in the triangle conference that only had a select few people vote and not the entire population? Even your selections didn't have ballot boxes go to every corner that you claim to have a right over.

 

Surely you dont think that is acceptable by international law?

^^ Whatever reply he gave you would not really matter, would it? :D

 

97% was the magic number. Do you know how that was arrived at?
