the next target for Somaliland should be kenyan airways

Well we need Somaliland companies connecting with successful companies from our neighbouring states whether its Ethiopia, Kenya or Djibouti. Well done, Noble and congratulations, Ethiopia Airlines is properly the most successful airliner in Africa, well managed.

They disappointed me when they suspended their flights to Hargeisa, we urge the airliner to reconsider their decisions and give Somalilanders a state of the art carrier until the other carriers follow their suit.

We need competitions and a model for the others to follow otherwise we will continue to use Daallo and its old Russian jets though they are upgrading to luxury carriers now its mainly because they know they losing competition.

Resume the flights…

This is good step, but frankly speaking ethiopia will not benefit the public, and even expensive in many occasions compare to international fare.. We shall not forget the old enemity between Somalis and Ethiopia… Or do you think that is over!!!

It is over mate. Let's not base our current lives on something happened 200 years ago.

We need to start a news life based on our interest ,, both of us.

Congratulations Mr. Abdul Qafar, job well done brother, i am sure that you will connect Emirates and Etihad Airways to Hargeisa in the near future.

All nations have moved on what was between them over 50,100, 200 years ago. Somaliland has no problem with Ethiopia and Somalia is their fellow brothers, but not all Ethiopians are cool with Somaliland, Ethiopian groups such as the Oromo would rather see Greater Somalia to liberate them from the "habesha" mainly the Tigreys and Amhara who have always dominated Ethiopia.

i am happy for the connection and the improvements they are making in somaliland, at the end of the day, they are my people…..and i hope nothing but the best, and also there search for potential business and hard work puts us {in puntland} more pressure to go forward aswell. competition is good for business…

about ethiopia, i honestly wished we as somalis {somaliland and puntland} could break away from there connection with somalis….tigray and amxaaro have nothing but hatred for somalis…………………………………………….

a honest greater somalia is good for our people and all other muslims in the horn of africa, and ethiopia by supporting puntland and somaliland shows there fear for greater somalia, …………………………. i dont know about u people but i dont want to become a puppet regime for ethiopia, ……. and i cant seem to enjoy the prosperity of puntland while south is burning, kenya is misusing our people there , and the ethiopians well, i dont have to tell u about it……….but again congrats to your prosperity

Congratulations boys and Somaliland as whole, we can't forever be stuck in 1500s when Somalis and the people of Ethiopia had beef, we have to move ahead and catch up to the rest of the world.

Somalia has a problem, they cant even unit themselves and they want to talk about union, they want to talk about forgiveness but they cant even forgive each others – they think they are holy warriors of Islam but they bomb mosques, kill women and blow their own bodies like its balloons. They are disgrace to Somalis, Muslims and Africans.

Somaliland chooses to differ and moves ahead with whoever is ready to work with them on equal bases and on mutual and bilateral levels.

Abdi on Thu, 2nd Jul 2009 2:10 pm 



…and you call Somaliland (NW region)a “nation” who can do business with Ethiopia on equal terms!. What a farce. You certainly are in for a big disappointment.

How many more years you need to finally understand that, after all, you have been chasing a mirage.

Abdi

Somaliland is nation wether you likr it or not and we do business with the devil if it suits us.

Abdi on Sat, 4th Jul 2009 12:53 pm 



sonofsnm,

I, honestly, don’t care who and how you do business. And what I like or dislike is not important here.

What I commented and thought important was one’s definition of nationhood, which unlike the wild desires of some, has to have the known ingredients and be within the internationally accepted norms. Otherwise, every few thousands of people who reside in few towns and villages would claim to constitute a nation which of course would render the whole idea meaningless.

So instead of beating the around bush, why didn’t you address the nature and qualification of your nationhood.

That would be a more useful discussion.
