SOMALILAND: President Silaanyo expected to address Chatham House

November 23, 2010   ·   8 Comments

President Ahmed Silaanyo

The self declared but unrecognised Republic of Somaliland is a stable and peaceful democracy in the North West of Somalia. In contrast to the problems of the south of Somalia, Somaliland has made progress in establishing the basis for economic growth and lasting peace, in spite of its failure to gain recognition as an independent state.

President Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud ‘Silanyo’ has been President of Somaliland since his election in July 2010. He will speak about his plans for Somaliland and the country’s regional role.

The President will discuss the opportunities presented by Somaliland and will reflect on the peaceful transfer of power after July’s successful elections.

President Silanyo previously served as Minister of Finance in Somaliland and is leader of the Kulmiye party.

    It could be an exaggerating comment, that Sillanyo is addressing the Chatham House without coming here as a guest or an official visit. Maybe, he may meet some of those parliamentarians that supports our cause of recognition and right to self-determination. Let us see how things unfold, the coming days.
