Hargeisawi-In-London says:

This guy is a slimy and slippery character, and not to be trusted. He is a chameleon presenting a different face to every person. But he is on a mission – destroying Somaliland.

It is high time that our media should have been alert to this danger.

Mohamd says:

Good, he should be stood up and never allowed to sit in an opulent manner. Just as he abandons Somalis in SL, his poxy little visits should be ignored since there is no partnership between the Somalia he represents and SL. Welcoming him officially is disastrous, because it is like welcoming Somalia president.

calamadaha says:

If his visit had any worthyness the president woul have stayed during the visit. That shows his visit cares no weight.just FLYER MILES

Jirdeh says:

It is in our culture to be generous and courteous to our guests, so let Mahiga enjoy our hospitality,other than that Somaliland's political position with regard to our secession and sovereignty is solid, sacred and not negotiable by any means or influences.
Mahiga could bring and put on the table any proposal he deems fit , but the will of our leaders will always prevail and that is what counts.

Kayse says:

Somaliland needs to keep Mr Mahiga away. He is upto no good and no one in Somaliland or even Somalia trusts him. He was the very man who assisinated the last Prime Minister and his government in Mogadishu.

He also spreads mistrust amongst the Somali various leaders, he takes some BS story from Mogadishu and brings it to Hargeisa, he takes some BS from Hargeisa and feeds to Garowe.

He thinks we Somalis don't see that. Next time Somaliland government has to turn its back on him.

He has very sinister agenda to destroy the entire Somali population, this man has been making plans for Somalis since 1970s…he is old and evil.

If Somaliland wants to progress it has to deport Mahiga and his team.

Khalid says:

Mahiga is in Somali soil and Hargeisa is no different than Mogadishu in the eyes of the UN, This gentle man is just employee of the United Nations and he is not to be blamed for anything. He is in Hargeisa to have talks with the administration of how to prevent drought simple, Mahiga is not there to interfere with Somaliland affairs, The matter is Somali problem.

Saleebaan Xaaji says:

Khalid, you are lost just like Mahiga. Hargeisa is in Somaliland. The UN political office has always been a lame place, other agencies do some good, but the political office is a nest of vipers. Look at East Timor, as soon as they got their independence from Indonesia, they kicked the UN political office out of their country, but they continue to deal with other UN agencies, Southern Sudan will do the same. The various UN political offices around the globe are the most useless departments in the whole of the UN, which to be honest is toothless as a political entity.

Jirdeh says:

Mahiga is the messenger of the United Nations and all we are interested in is the message he delivers which if found not in our favor will automatically be rejected. It would be against the diplomatic etiquette and would reflect badly on us if we snub him. We must be cordial to him, but send him back to the United nations with our firm and final message and the appropriate reply. Remember that he is simply a messenger and the UN is the party we are dealing with.

I Jama says:

The UN messengers such as Mahiga are all about image. The reason he is in SL is to show a face to Somalis that he is linking all the different Somali nations and keeping them involved with each other. This image is of course for the pro unionist more then it is for the Somalilanders. Somalilanders are ignoring him for the sake of the South Somali's disastrous situation (interim tolerance). Somalis in the South are literally dying in the name of unity. The have no choice or they will be starved out or abused or displaced until they give in or find a solution without TFG. Subxaana Allah.
