A resounding round of applause to all the players involved and made it happen, especially the National Electoral Commission for their leadership and their command of the situation under a less idyllic circumstance. They really deserve medals.

The EU heads of mission's recognition of the peaceful and meticulous
ways the elections were conducted adds to the Somaliland position going
forward into the twilights of yet another suuceesful story towards the
progressive world stages. Good job welldone. Keep it up.
