i feel sorry for the guy ,they deny him a video coverage
I hope this will debunk the notion that some anti-Somaliland element put in their garbage websites, that Somaliland president was denied an opportunity to speak at the conference.
This audio has finally put the claims of our adversaries who are pursuing personal vandeta against our people’s wishes to rest. we are no longer turning back but Somaliland is gaining momentum in searching a place in the world. Shame on you those tugs that are slandering us and who are denying that we humans deserve to be praised for the genuine steps that we took in the right way.
Somaliland is in the right track.
well done Mr. president
I agree with you that Somaliland has taken huge step in the right direction but is it not sad to see those so called somaliland websites still claiming the president Did not speak at the LONDON SOMALI CONFERENCE despite the release of the audio transcript.
Our President did give a speech. And also when the delegates to the conference were invited for the dinner, in his speech david Cameron thanked those countries participated in the conference and he did mention Somaliland. It is the enemies of Somaliland who now have to hide their faces in the sand. Somaliland is going forward and no turning the clock back. Somaliland resilence has paid divident at last. God Bless Somaliland
The audio is not something new I listened to it on Friday, but Walaweyn want to see what they want to see or would have liked to see. They are blinded by hate and cannot see straight when it comes to Somaliland. They missed to see our President in the photo lineup of the large gathering photo op. He is standing on the left side, first on the 2nd line just behind the Ethiopian PM. And distributed false information that he was not in the conference and that he was not given an opportunity to speak. What a short-sighted mentality and small minds!
There are more footages and videos in most of Somaliland websites. Just go to Hadhwanaagnews.com, there is more videos and footages where he spoke to Somalilanders in the UK and also gave an interview to English Aljazeera.
All in all, I believe that Somaliland came victorious in this conference whether rubbing shoulders with lots of other Presidents, PMs, and people in high positions or distributing reports on who Somaliland is and why the IC should recognize it which a very good exposure for Somaliland's case.
by the way i am single with two children ,if any somalilander is interested holla at me,later
WILL HOLLA AT U WHERE I HAVE TO CONTECT YOU
That is funny! If you are I am not.
Somalis made the mistake that this "conference" was about them when in fact the westerners have already drawn up their demands. That Palestenian child killer Hillary Clinton also upset me when she belittled our aspirations by comparing how many "states" the USA has in a "federal" manner. I certainly wouldn't have left it happy if I was Silanyo, but then again all other African presidents did leave upset including Zenawi. Even the Djibouti dictator was asked to close his speach faster cos he was taking too long.
All I saw were Africans being lectured to about what to do and who to talk to or not. The same ppl boast about some ME road plan where it does not involve the Palestenians, and it was the same with them demanding no talks with Al-Shabaab.
Don't you think what you saw if it's true, was what the African leaders deserve? They have failed the African people for so long and refused to recognize the different between Somaliland and Somalia and destroying the country called Somalia and purposely drugging their feet when it comes to the issues of Somaliland?. It;s about time they are lectured.
Repeats itself when Mr. Jeremy Carver CBE spoke on Somaliland and thank you honoured and humbled by this nobel Congratulations! . Really Appreciated! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LmhGf-dId4
In political reality, no virtual reasoning that UK will listen more nonsense and unpractical "African Pandora Box Article Condition" that laid by His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie around the time of the Italian Invasion of 1935 which already revoked deliberately for Eritrea, Gambia, Mali and southern Sudan petitioned the AU to revoke and withdrawing the bond of set of Pandora Box base on that all these countries got their complete independences recognition from African Union followed by the whole World.
But this Organization still moralizes and legalizes usually hypocritical invariably plain stand and applying that Death Article against Somaliland self-determination only "after the 77 years of dictators's house of African Union cannot feed their populations for whole years of post colonial independence from 1960's. Even after Re-named by Ghaaffi with his financial influence .
In similarity Revocation Definition applied both on Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo's declaration of independences from Serbia the former Yugoslavia. Last word of Western Politicians: Why should the world care about Somaliland and its quest for recognition?
Berri and others:
This AU stupidity is long gone, after this Conference and were told to change if they want Africa in peace. So its forthcoming that they un-dust the 2005 AU Delegation outcome. It will not be long when they open the doors wide open.
The interest of the bankrupted West is showing and the benefits are ours.
Where did the speech take place? The only Somali politian that was given the opportunity to address the conference was Sheikh Sharif.
Did Silanyo speak on the fringes of the conference?
