Somaliland President Axmed Siilaanyo , Somaliland will not attend the London Conference

Recommended Posts

Are you serious?

Do you know how the sixties were

 

President and Prime Minister from Somalia

 

Speaker of Parliament from Somaliland

 

4 Ministers from Somaliland

 

11 ministers from Somalia

 

 

Even that was unfair but we wanted the hawd and reserve back so we didn't care about political positions and seats the unity was more important our fathers thought the only way we could get back the hawd and reserve area my fathers generation if we unite with the Koonfurians. And could from a stronger block against haile selasie at that time. But since Somalia restored relations with Ethiopia in 1988 nothing binds Somaliland with Somalia any more. And it seems getting the hawd reserve area back became an unreachable goal. So Somaliland said good bye to Somalia.

This is the first time I heard anything about this, this must be some cooked up revisionist history.

Homunculus the Somaliland politicians in the 50s lobbied hard to win back the hawd and reserve area from Britain all the way to Ethiopia but it failed. They told the people we got independence while the people were expecting the hawd and reserve area. It was the main drive ofcourse the experiment ethno nationalism was also playing a role. But that was the main reason that's why the union was never really negotiated no one wanted to waste time. 3 years later we went to war with Ethiopia. Homunculus ask your self why the former Somali republic was so busy fighting Ethiopia 3 times, but it never fought with Kenya other than supporting the shifta war. You can ask any one ask siciid gees to if you wish. The thing that really united Somalia and Somaliland was getting back Somali galbeed. Somali republic didn't care if Djibouti joined or not. That cause was driving the union because the SL generation who lived at that time it was fresh in their minds the loss of the hawd and reserve area. When we lost the war against Ethiopia in 1977, and the Somalilanders started fighting against general siad bare , that was when the Somaliweyn cause was really ending. And when siad bare restored relations with ethiopia and recognized that Somali galbeed was no longer in dispute. I think around that time many Somalilanders started flirting even with in the SNM camp with re declaring Somaliland as an independent state as it happened in 1991. And thats how it went if you dont believe me ask around.

Mudane Axmed Maxamed Maxamuud waxa uu mar kale ku celiyay inaanay Somaliland ka qeyb geli doonin shirka London, waxaanu yidhi “Shirka London sidii aan hore u sheegnay kama qayb gelayno, oo waxaanu u aragnaa in aanu na khusaynin, danina aanay ugu jirin qaranka Somaliland”.

 

Madaxweynuhu waxa uu intaasi ku daray “Wada hadalada Somaliland iyo soomaaliya waxa ahaayeen barnaamij socda oo ka soo bilaabmay shirkii London 12-kii bishii February ee sanadkii 2012-kii, kaasi oo ay dunidu fagaare ku go’aamisay in Somaliland iyo Soomaaliya ka wada hadlaan mustaqbalkooda siyaasadeed, intaasi ka dib waxa dhacay labadii kulan ee London iyo Dubia, waxaanan ku kala saxeexanay qodobo dhaxal gal ah hor dhacna u ahaa wada hadaladaa.”

 

“Mana jiraan wax iska kaaya bedelay diyaarna waanu u nahay in loo wada hadlo si siman, mana jirto cid nagu khasbaysaa wax aanay dani ugu jirin ummadayada,”ayuu yidhi Madaxweyne Axmed Siilaanyo

Xiinfaniin do you think Siilaanyo will change his mind and be honest what do you think. I think he is addressing the issue because SL media have been reporting that there were some sort of political pressures coming from Washington and London regarding the London conference and Somaliland possible absence from that conference.
