I am very pleased with the work of the current NEC — they are highly compotent and efficient. I don't know any Electoral commission that can do all they have done in that short time since their election.

I congratulate the new chairman and it's upto him now to complete the job on 26 June. It is also upto president Rayale to sign the date as soon as possible (this week), otherwise all Somaliland will kick him out.

Let's support the remarkable work of our new NEC, I am sure now so many want them dead (those oppose to Somaliland and democracy in the region), including al shabaab.

Let's protect them and make this a smooth election like no other in the region.

We just made it history in our own democratic process.

Hopefully the new UK government will double it's effects in Somaliland, I know Mr Cameron is a fan of Somaliland.

MrSecurity says:

Security matters we need to secure all the borders, all polling stations from Somalia's extremist rebels, tribal militants and the so called NSUM in Sool.

We need to deal them harshly and not allow them to interupt our democracy and I hope the international community gets behind Somaliland provides more funding for security, transportations and provide intelligence.

Somaliland will make history on 26 June, 50th anniversary and first biometric election.

Let's go Somaliland.

A R says:

I agree with your proposal, Mr. Security, and all of you who have posted here.

Let's go Somalilanders and secure our borders and the polling stations and be vigilant; and be an example to the world on what free and fair elections (democracy) is all about.

Peace to my brothers & sisters.

Election Time

It is election Time; yes it is good to hear that we will have our long waited election. Did you make your mind and think on who you will give your vote too?? You should thing twice and look to who is running for this election first; look closely to what that candidate will offer to the country not just for himself and his immediate family. Asking him what his vision, what his plans does he have a plan to improve our country, and does he have plans on how to solve all problems that we have?

We should thing at large as Somali Landers, not by our individual tribe, don’t say I am from that tribe and the candidate is from the same tribe so I will vote for him, even if he doesn’t have any vision or plan, please think twice before you do that… We should be one nation and one people, we should be Somalilanders. Forget about tribe, we should thing as a citizen of Somaliland so we progress.

If we want to achieve recognition we need to work hard to improve our country, we need to have all necessary things to be a country, we need to have, electricity, water hospitals, good roads, good education, strong legislations, recreation centers, and all other basic things that our humble families should have.

Our candidate should be creative, he should find ways to create jobs to our citizen, and he should try to find alternatives and solutions to the thousands of Somaliland citizen who doesn’t have any jobs. Our Candidate should fight what they called “Gat” I am sure this is what makes our people lazy, less productive, and it is the main reason that our men forget about their families, most of their time they spend eating or Jaw “Gat”. Our candidate should have a good plan on how to eliminate or stop this bad habit from our society, so our people become more productive.

If you think about this and just look closely how many millions we are give to Ethiopia monthly from “Gat”, you will get upset, why our government allow that, why they didn’t s stop that. It is a question needs an answer, and I hope someone will answer me.

Lastly, I hope from the elected president that he will look after his people think wisely on how to lift up our country.
