KENYA LEGISLATORS TO PUSH FOR RECOGNITION OF SOMALILAND

Recommended Posts

Kenya legislators to push for recognition of Somaliland

 

 

A Kenyan Parliamentary delegation to Somaliland on Tuesday said it would push for a motion in parliament to have Somaliland recognized as a sovereign country by the government.

 

Chairman of the delegation Paul Muite said Somaliland now has ample security and wants it supported to achieve a peaceful government.

 

He called on the international and regional community to understand the Somaliland people as they have been subjected to hostility for many years.

 

He said they visited many mass graves with large numbers of humans.

 

“These people who have been subjected to such intensity of atrocity. How can you ask them to continue being part of their oppressors?” he asked.

 

Muite also said peace in Somaliland will enhance trade between the two countries as well as bring calmness in East Africa.

 

He said if Somaliland is peaceful miraa traders will have an opportunity to continue trading with Somalia.

 

“There are many benefits. Somalia and Kenya sell and buy miraa from each other, when there is peace, the environment is conducive enough for the business,” he said.

 

The five-member delegation, which arrived yesterday from a four-day visit to Hergeisa, said it would invite Somaliland leaders to visit Kenya to see how parliament works.

Paul Muite is irrelevant in Kenyan politics. He is nowhere close to the influential people that matter. Just a greedy guy hoping to get some from the Landers. He's a great business man though. If anything, that "country" might benefit from his deals.

 

I know you'll argue it was a whole delegation. Maoka Maore and Patrick Ivuti are regarded as dunderheads in the Kenyan parliament. I bet they couldn't find the right people to take on that mission.

 

Just don't get your hopes high with such useless politicians.

Once again Northerners are portrayed as the Kurdish/Armenians of Somalia.

 

Do you perhaps suppose that there are mass graves only in the Wuqooyi? Or maybe that those clans were the only ones oppressed?

 

I think its scandalous and immoral that the Somaliland government is shamelessly using this card to gain sympathy for their cause.

And all they've managed to attract so far, are the insignificant..

Centurion,

 

have you any idead what you are talking. what happened in the north was pure genocide and was it's most horrific and on a mass scale compared to any other areas in somaliland. how can you say that the somaliland government is playing this as a card. their people were killed by the tens of thousands and you think they should just shut up about it. i bet you thought it was its scandalous, immoral and shameless behaviour that they fought back against siyad barre.

 

you need to know what you are talking about before you start saying this you have no knowledge of.

Tima,

 

Don't even bother man.

 

Any Somali person who willing to justifies what happened to this people and denies their blood deserves no answer.

 

It's one thing not to accept Somaliland political motives but to dispute a massive genocide took place in Somaliland is inhuman.

 

I personally VISITED some of these mass graves. Simply heart breaking.

 

Ask any of these catz when the civil broke out in the old SOMALI REPUBLIC and they all tell you it was 1991. Not acknowledging that was time Somalilanders actually came home instead. 1991 was a good year for Somalilnders who were displace in refugee camps in Ethiopia for the three years prior. These people were chilling in XAMAR CADEEY back in 88, 89, 90 when the Somali aircrafts were bombing Hargeisa and Burco and calling us XABDI KEENTAY.

 

The really remains that the civil history of all Somalis isn’t parallel.

 

Now you know why somalilanders are bitter!
