Republic of Somaliland and Somalia talks

Between 20 and 21 June, representatives of the Republic of Somaliland and the TFG held talks in the United Kingdom following the commitments in the London and Istanbul communiqués to support dialogue between the two parties in order to help them clarify their future relations. The Somaliland delegation was led by the Foreign Minister, Dr Mohamed A Omar.

The meeting focused on the framework for the future dialogue, and areas of potential cooperation between Somaliland and the TFG and its successor.  The meeting called on the Presidents of Somaliland and the TFG to meet to review progress as soon as possible. To that end, President Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud Silanyo is currently in Dubai to endorse the outcome of the talks.

As part of its commitment to ensuring peace, stability and democracy throughout the Horn of Africa, the Somaliland representatives reiterated their support for ending the transition in Somalia. Such a declaration in no way implies that Somaliland is becoming an internal actor in the Somalia Road Map process; it is simply endorsing  the establishment of a legitimate government in our neighbour, Somalia, a position which Somaliland shares with the international community, and which is in Somaliland’s interests.  As His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Somaliland overtly declared both in his commemoration of the 52nd anniversary of the independence and on his departure to the Somali talks: “Somaliland’s independence is irreversible and nonnegotiable.”

Thank You

    reassuring and great to hear

  2. Roone says:

    In contrary to the text and spirit of the resolutions issued by London conference, which stipulated that only two parts namely Somaliland and Somalia should meet and decide on their future relations, I see that other parts of Somalia such Galmudug and Budland are also present and represented by their leaders, who seem also to sign the four point agreement that is also signed by Siilaanyo and Shariif of Somalia. There is something fishy out there.

      where did pugland sign?

    somali waa hal & no power can divide somalia. we will catch all the traitors who sided with our enemies.

    somali waa hal

      geezer from Pirate land, our President is unlike your Faroole who is head of the gang of pirates. Ahmed Mohamoud Silanyo is elected President and liberated his country from dishonest and bunch of wolves. Deal with it. Be united with all I care. Somalilanders are one whether they are in Buhoodle/Las Anod or Borama. Remember we were called Somali Qaldaan, damaarku dalkiisa buu joogaa? Remember go back with Suzo who brought to Mogashiu. Somalilanders took that brotherly advise. Let us be neigbhor like Mali and Sengal. ASA

    Boobe, a former legend SNM fighter, has became brain washed. Somalia and Somaliland will remain together as wife and husband till eternity. Anyone who doesn't like this troubled but inseparable marriage can move to Jigjiga under Omar Ilaay and his eey Liyu forces.

    Boobe should know better but like every man he is only concern about feeding his family. If issuing such statement feeds his family so be it but he knows the truth. Your kids have better future in a unified Somali Republic.

  5. Allemagan says:

    Whether Somaliland becomes independent or stays in the fold of greater Somalia will not be determined by few die-hard separatists and propagandists. Many of our people in northern Somalia do not want to part of dismantling Somalia.

    • dugsiya says:

      Allemagan, I am sorry you are in dream land. Somalilanders have one voice and its loud and clear. We do not want to go back in the fold of greater somalia. done that and we lived the consequence of been part of somalila. Sorry we decided to go our separate way. deal with it.

    • Aydid Somalilander says:

      Sir,

      I f what you write here is so true, then why don't you advocate for Internationally observed referendum for all former territory of British Somaliland and i will accept the outcome can you?

  6. AbdiQani Omar says:

    Somalilalnd is a peace land! Don't waste your time take care of your house and your back yard before you talk about a unified Somalia, Somaliland has shown the way to do it and it does take care of it's own entity with fully determined peace. So let us live in peace brother.

  7. Dahir says:

    Allamagan,
    Don't you mean the minority tribes don't want it? what other people could you possibly be talking about?
    Majority rules here, you know what I am getting at!

    The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

  9. Hey there, You’ve done an incredible job. I’ll certainly digg it and personally suggest to my friends. I’m sure they will be benefited from this web site.
