The reality is Somaliland is dead and gone. Where is so called foreign minister Dr Omar now days? The truth is he has no money to even visit Addis Ababa ($300 ticket), his little ministry is bankrupt. They wasted all the money they collected emotional Somalis abroad on travel, their own private homes and foreign men like that Indian from South Africa, so called Iqbal. He was getting $6000 per month from Somalis in the north because he lied to them by saying SL has an embassy in SA…masakiin

Now people in UK don’t even like the new representative, the one you guys consider an ambassador who only shows up in that tiny hawala office once a day hahahaha.

Silaanyo appointed him because they are related and no one likes.

Somaliland is now officially even lower than Puntland region, who are exploring oil.
