HARGEISA(SomalilandPress)–US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be visiting several African countries in the following week where she will attend African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) conference represented by 37 African countries. Before she visits Africa Madame Clinton will first stop in United Arab Emirates’ to meet with members of Libya Contact Group in order to find solution for Libya. After that meeting she is expected to travel to Zambia’s capital Lusaka to attend African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) conference. Madame Clinton will also be traveling to Tanzania and Ethiopia on this trip where she will meet with each head of state in both countries. In Ethiopia Secretary Clinton will meet with Ethiopian Prime Minster Meles Zenawi and AU Chairman Jean Ping to discuss regional issues particularly South Sudan and Somalia.
The arrival of Secretary Clinton to Ethiopia is a diplomatic opening for Somaliland to get chance to meet with the Secretary. Ethiopia is the contact point for the US Government in the region and Ethiopia’s excellent diplomatic relationship with Somaliland is expected to play a major role.

This disneyland fantasy!!!!!! .Keep dreaming.
leave us alone
Al Xasid maa yaflax, waa idaa aflaxa cumro maa yinsax. Uurkaa u wada bugtaan! Subxaan Allah!
Yeah uurdoox! We do dream in our beatiful, peaceful country.
Got problem with that?
dreams come true saxiib and ours did 20 yrs ago
When Somaliland leaders "understand" the role of Ethiopia in the world and not just worship amharas, they will respect themselves and earn the respect of Somalis. Ethiopia is on an emergency for food aid. One of only handful of countries who has this status. For 20 years, what has Amharas done for Somaliland? Nothing Nothing because they can't do anything for anybody. Even Amharas are not dumb enough to be busy with an internal Somali issue and lets see if they will ever recognize Somaliland. I think the truth hurts. As a Somali, I will respect our brothers in the North when they respect themselves as Somalis and realize being "Dabadhilif" is a losing cause. If they think separation is a solution, I would support this as long as they rely on themselves and not collaborate Amharas agenda of destroying anything Somali.
Mr Respect.
First of all respect yourself and stop what you are doing to yourself and others inth ename of Somalia. We have respect and once people know the differnce between us and you (Somalia and Somaliland) people open therre eyes with surprise. Becouse all they know is you and associated you with death. You have heard how the Ugandan president does not want you to have peace and no election to take place this year. So I do not need you to lecture us about respect, do it for yourself if not for those who are dying like flies for no reason.
@mahamud you dont even know anything about Amhara you just live in your old dream live us alone . wea only wish peace and prosperity for the people of Somalia and what we got all those time is hate and cold blood . we are pure we never let our African brother down we support south Africa on apartheid Zimbabwe on their fight on colonialism. even king Hailesilase ask the old UN to give the Somali their freedom from colonialism . after that your government give us war. …..wake up when you are in peace and prosperity we will trade with you and build our country . we don't want USA (sure we love them) more than Somalia do you think USA want Ethiopia more than MEXICO no never so please just try to make peace inside you and make our future better together MAY God bless Africa.
Gobaad, Sahal & Missind – Wanlaweyn and certain individuals of our own are sick to the neck. We pray for them everyday in our life, and they dig a hole for us everyday. I appeal to the people of Somaliland to stand firm and stop praying even. These people are unimaginaly jealous and will never get peace, unless they change and that is distant future. Just look back and see what they say everyday against us [Somaliland people]. We have not done anything to them but still they are holding us back.
The reason they are not coming out of the quakmire they are in, is because of their hate and jealousy, and as Gobaad said, XAASID MAAYAFLAF, WA IYADAA FALAXA, MAA YASLAX.
we love dreaming in our peaceful country, shame u cant dream cuz u country is destroyed.
Somalilandpress please be more professional. There is absolutely no need for this story or non-story. Hilary Clinton on a visit to Ethiopia and not to Somaliland, so lets not get all excited about it. Mrs Clinton, the American government, and the World know well about Somaliland and its quest for recognition. So there is no point in stalking every foreign diplomat on a visit to a foreign country when they are not interested in our affairs. For a change why can't you bring to us more reports about what is happening in our homeland?
let the dogs park somaliland will go a head.
uurdoox. ·you are a dog
A dog is allway a dog.
I LOVE SOMALILAND
First of all , asalaamu calaykum , secondly , I think SomalilandPress only write a news topic with possibility openion , and it is possible to be that cilnton will meet with Somaliland Govement during here visit to Ethiopia , I think some people here are forgot that Jenday Freazer had visit Somaliland in 2008 .
so in my openion I think Hilary will visit Hargeisa , not only meet with the goverment.
that is what I believe .
Amputation : this is a radical surgical process whereby surgeons decide that they have to cut off and remove part of your leg or a hand, which has can no longer be cured. They remove it because it is no longer useful and may infect the rest of the body with desease. Saxib, Somaliland has moved on, it has cut off part of its body which has caused it so much pain and suffering.
It might be a hard pill to swallow for the Southerners, at some point you will have to just move on with your lives. Forget Somaliland, clean up your act, pick yourself up, and show the World that you can govern yourselves, and stop this Peace Conference syndrome.
@mahamude you dont even know anything about amhara you just live in your old dream live us alone . wea only wish peace and prosperity for the people of smolia and what we got all those tme is hate and cold blode . we are pure we never let oure african brother down we suport south africa on aparthide zumbabe on theire fight on colnialism. even kink hailesilase ask the old un to give the somali theire freedom from colonialism . after that your govenment give us war. wake up when you are in peace and prosperity we will trade with you and build oure country . we dont want USA mor than somalia do you think usa want ethiopia more than MEXICO no nevere so please just try to make peace inside you and make our future better together MAY God bless Africa.
your surname says it all ( UUR-DOOX) that confirms you are naturally born sad creature
Hilary Clinton Africa arrival cost nothing Somaliland to rejoice or become sad. She already knew Somaliland more than anyone, therefore, we do not know her emotions about Somaliland in particular but I personally, see no reason to grab a lost opportunity during her arrival in neighbouring Ethiopia.

Many thanks are with SOMALILANDPRESS for your regular and professional news reporting from Somaliland, Africa and the world as well, your editorial on the point and insight.
For those above comments who sees Ethiopia as Enemy to the what they call Somalis, just I would like to remind them, that the relation with Ethiopia is a Islamic religious obligation So, Somaliland went to fulfill that obligation. ALLAH massager Mohamed peace be upon him ordered his followers to go to Ethiopia and seek refugee. So please leave and throw the old mythes developed by pan-Somalism saying Somalia is five parts.
Libaax
The one who gives the prescription of the surgery is Inagodane; your causing from Arab-Daandhagax.
Ethiopia know very well Somalia is one nation and and if they support secession of Somaliland, Somali will support other groups in Ethiopia who want secession like Ogadeenya and Oramiya. Noo country can recognize region with in Somalia.
Ethiopia keeps close ties with Somaliland because of its interest in the Barbara Port. As you all know its the biggest client of Barbara. Its where all of Ethiopia's weapons come through. But its the last country to support a separatist Somali state strategically. That would be the last day of a multi-ethnic Ethiopia, and they know it. Its time Somalilanders wake up, and stop living up to the colonialist name. Without a question there were mistakes made by Siad Barre, but its time to stop holding grudges. Allah will never bless anyone trying to divide a people of the same kind in anyway you look.
Sudan will be the 54th country in Africa in July and if Ethiopia have given Independence to Eritrea. Then I wouldn't rule out Ogadenia at all. If Ogadenia shows its able to govern itself peacefully and democratically then I don't see why it wouldn't qualify…..
To all those HATERS subhanallah even on Ramadan you all are hating on our achievements you know what instead of being busy with Somaliland why dont you rebuild somalia subhanallah go and pray for your homeland and the dying children! My thoughts are with them may Allah swt ease their pain and end the famine inshallah! So somaliland has been building for 20years and has prospered to become a very democratic,peaceful and blossomed to a new world filled with bright future! As i mention our homelands achievements walahiiii if i was from south i would salute my neighbouring brothers whom are doing well for themselves and they would have been my inspiration so i ask all those southern Haters would you associate yourselfs with a failed state and catastrophic region THE answer i guarantee would be NOOOOOOO NEVER!! So we gave you the chance and the blue flag but waad ku xaarten markaa kab iyo xaarted waa layska tuura markaa amaan na siiyaa afkinaa iska xidhaa oo ilahay uu soo noqdaa… dadkaygu hadu tashaday maxaa loo daba socdaa… you all dont like us than leave us alone we have left you all 20 years SOMALILAND WAY TAGTAY DIIBNA IDHIINKUMA SOO CELINAYSOOO CALANKAA AAD KU CIYARTEN!!! BUT as our muslim brothers and neighbours i pray for better somalia for all those innocent humans suffering amiiiiiiiin !!!!!!!!!!

My advice is flood with visual proof (inks like the below UR) to Somaliland haters without getting caught with mudsling and name calling. Let them keep beating themselves denying the obvious. AQ
