‘Don’t do it’: Somali president warns Ethiopia over Somaliland port deal

You, the media man, are you speaking on behalf of Ethiopia or are you finding facts. The way you pressing the Somalia president is unacceptable.
They should come through the proper channels. Yes rented, renewal every 5 years.
Somaliland regained its independence as State of Somaliland on 26 June 1960 from United Kingdom, same day as Madagascar, and just then after 5 days merged with never independent UN trusteeship and Italian administered Somalia to make the Somali Republic in 1st July 1960, solely to pursue greater Somalia of all five Somali regions. Somaliland independence preceded 5 days before this vague unification, thus is in respect to African colonial boundaries according to former OAU and present AU Charters. Furthermore, the terms of this obscure unity were immediately violated by Somalia, particularly power sharing, a fundamental principle to union of states, where among other things the 1st two presidents and the first two prime ministers were taken by Somalia. These then leaders and Somalia dominated legislative dumped the proposed Act of Union, passed their own Act and run over other conditions of unification. The June/1961 rejection of Constitutional referendum by 90% of Somaliland people, Dec/1961 coup d'état attempt and revolt in northern Somalia are typical examples of Somaliland people's dissatisfaction on the Unification process. Almost all development and social infrastructure such as factories, universities, hospitals etc. were established in Somalia, leaving a complete neglect of Somaliland people. Just when things seemed fairer and for the first time Somaliland was given the post of prime minister in 1969, the military made a coup within months to sabotage this. From there started 20 years of oppression which ended to a massive genocidal campaign to the people of Somaliland. In late 80ies Somaliland pop.est was 2million, 1/4m died, 1m became internally displaced and 1/2m became refugees mainly hosted in Ethiopia. This situation prompted an all-out armed struggle. Without grievance of all that happened, and dictator regime ousted in Jan/1991, Somalia once again violated the agreement of the liberation forces, whereby then all clans of Somaliland came together and made their minds. This has resulted the Somaliland people to disband the union and restore its lost sovereignty in May/1991, by declaring the Republic of Somaliland to restore their independence. Since then Somaliland has been peaceful, independent and democratic country. Somaliland reconciled its peace, combated with piracy and terrorism, and built its destroyed country from the scratch with least outside assistance. Somaliland has its constitution, own currency, Passport, national flag and estimable national development plan. As a growing democracy, there are disapprovals, differences or misguidances but at the end of the day Somaliland people solve their problems. Somaliland people made everything that an independent country needed, and sought international recognition from the world for over 30 years. The African Union (AU) conducted fact-finding missions in Somaliland in 2005 and 2008, reaffirming its legitimate right to statehood. Ever since the reclamation of its freedom Somaliland has been neutral and did not interfere Somalia affairs, whereas the later has done all sorts of things to aggravate Somaliland, including false propaganda, inciting instability and prevent endeavours to its development. One good example is distorting the facts on recent Somaliland-Ethiopia MOU to rent or lease sea port, which is aimed regional integration and co-existence among war-ridden horn countries. Now Somaliland has become tired of the futile talks with Somalia (13 rounds over the last decade and Somalia never fulfilling their part), therefore compelling Somaliland to take different approach. After 63 years of destruction and patient sufferance as lessons learnt, and dream of greater Somalia became a lost cause, Somaliland exists and will do everything towards future security and prosperity. To safeguard this security and prosperity it’s the duty of Somaliland people to strive for their strong and legal cause and take their God given rightful place in the world. As Somaliland is the largest territorially de-facto state unrecognised, and fulfilling all statehood criteria according to Montevideo Convention (1933), the world is hopeful that Somaliland is the next member of the United Nations…..Insha-Allah….. Time to end the international hypocrisy towards Somaliland. Somaliland is forever whether its recognized or not and there is NO GOING BACK….Long live the African Unity, Long live the independence of Somaliland,,, There is no enough darkness in the whole world to put out the light of one small candle….. VIVA Somaliland,,,God the Almighty.
there is no Somali land everywhere in Somalia is Somali land.
