President Silanyo returns to Somaliland after a week-long trip to UAE

BERBERA — Somaliland President Ahmed Mohamed has returned back after a week-long trip to Dubai where he held a meeting with his counterpart TFG President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, Transitional Federal Government of Somalia.

The two men met on the sidelines of a two-day counterpiracy event in the UAE to formally endorse the Chevening House Declaration, a process for dialogue between the countries.

Speaking to local reporters, President Silanyo confirmed that they both agreed to the continuation of the proposed dialogue and to allow the two committees to formally start negotiations in order to clarify future relations between the two countries.

Dr. Mohamed Abdullahi Omar, Minister for Foreign Affairs, said the Dubai meeting mainly focused on the framework for the future dialogue and areas of potential cooperation between Somaliland and the TFG. He emphasized that his government was committed to regional peace, stability and democracy in the Horn communities.

Dr. Omar underlined that the sides have agreed to use these opportunities to resolve their difference and reconcile — “without compromising sovereignty and integrity of Somaliland Republic” – between the Somaliland Republic and Somalia.

Former president Dahir Riyaale Kahin and UDUB party chairman, who was part of the large delegation said the Somaliland’s independence is irreversible and nonnegotiable.

The other notable members of the included opposition leader Faisal Ali Warabe, Muse Bihi, the chairman of the ruling Kulmiye party and members of parliament and civil services.

The Dubai Statement, signed on 28 June 2012 by Somalia’s President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed and Somaliland President Ahmed Mohamed Silanyo, paves the way for the first face-to-face negotiations between the two states in over two decades.

Ahmed says:

The position of the president is clear, " Somaliland's independence is irreversible". Well Sharif should have recognized Somaliland in Dubai. The Southern Somalis can build their enclave and live in peace, once they recognize Somaliland's right to its independence then we can help' but in the meantime its just talking.

Self-proclaimed sovereignty by a man who can't even take the trash out. Maybe he thinks if they remove it, they will destroy "historical British documents backing his claim" in the process.

The dialogue is good and is a positive step from Northern's self-imposed isolation. If they play their cards right the north can finally see some foreign investment and development but I know Silanyo and his Council will loot the poor northern Somalis and tell them the same lies they been telling them for TWO DECADES.

"Madaaxweynaha Sharaftaa lahi wuxu maanta la kulmay wasiirka majiro oo ka socda Saybaras–Cyprus (they misspell visiting people, companies, country names on purpose to throw people off so they dont find the real story)….kaas oo balaan qaday inu aqoonsan doona wadankee lama tabtaanka ah akhiiro sabaanka…wa guul uu so hoyatay gurigaa Morgan"

When will this jokes come to an end?

    Mohamed Cheers,
    
    Don't worry sxb Puntlandgeezer has an imaginary wife in Goljaano. Like Hadraawi he cant stop singing for Berluula.
    
    Sootan saaxiibka aheen sxb maxaa igu ka diiray dee mohahahaha?
    
    I don't know why your support the imaginary project in half of Hargeisa, you do know they will never name you as the "Minister of Cheers" right? Minister of Cheers is like the post Hirsi gaab holds—-a joke and non-existent. He was named just to increase his reer.
    
    The big war on Silaanyo hasn't even began on my side. I feel he deserves some time to prove me and the other northern Somalis wrong.
    
    He has till the end of the year.

    Miira, you can keep him in the zoo, I mean Moqdisho -, where he belongs. Nobody in Hargaysa want to see him and his stupid and ugly face. They said he is Somali, I like to see his DNA, I do not buy it. I bet his gorilla family are still in bush.

what sovereignty? this tribal state has become freaking annoying these days, they want to hold somalia hostages by intimidating & terrorising TFG just to recognise their expired british colonial tribal border.
we should do what srilanka did to the tamil tigers, chase the ethiopian stooge SNM from hargeisa

Their entire argument is based on self determination, but they want to hold Sanaag, Sool, Cayn and to some extent Awdal hostage and deny them the right to self determination they want. How ironic

am not going to comment on the ins an outs of this article, but i just want to ask, why does sillanyo have to stand on those wooden steps like hes collecting a gold medal in the Olympics,it looks like something out of the 50's , someone needs to have a word with his team and tell them to stop this backward looking ceremony, and just have him step out of the plane, hold a short press conference and get on with the daily running of the country, those 4 sorry looking people at the bottom of the steps need to go too..

can Pintilnad geezer argue with Ethopia or Kenya for that matter about holding hostage of Somalia because both countries hold hostage two somali teritories. he can't becaues# 1 they are not Isaaq and # 2 he knows they fry his behind like crazzy dog. therefore it is ok for pple like pintland geezer to argue with Somaliland about anything because when things get worse he can always say tolaayeey yaa reer hebel yaay .
