Is it good news ? Djibouti have a number of historical masjids that could do with refurbishment. When accepting aid do we just put our hands out and remain silent or have some imput into the offer ?

Mashallah. Good news. What khayriya projects Qatar is engaged in Somaliland?
Qatar like the KSR is engaged upfront in the politics of the AL/OIC. Am interested to hear
how the Somaliland Govt is engaged to improve relations with these two giants..Qatar and
the KSR(S/Arabia). The Somaliland Govt should strive to improve relations with the AL/OIC
World and in their pursuit for full Sovereignty recognition, should excell to gain their confidence
for a full membership of the AL/OIC like Somalia and Djibouti. That credence would mean a
win-win solutions for the Arab-Islamic World scene politics.
Cheers.

As a Somalilander with relatives in Djabouti i always wish my Djaboutian brothers and sisters all the best.
Djabouti is already a muslim country. Instead of spending 1.8 $million in a mosque the goverment was suppose to create jobs and invest the money in devolopment projects, schools, tecnical schools & universities, hospitals, agriculture, fishery etc…………………

Qatar has donated a substantial amount of money to Djibouti for a Mosque.
so what! where Somaliland fits in this? Djibouti always envious of Somaliland's progress, I added Djibouti on my list as one of the rogue states in east Africa. I don't give a damn whether they build a new Mosque or entire tiny nation submerges under water.
