Somaliland And Rumors Of Talks With Somalia’s TFG
| Front Page |
By Ahmed Kheyre, London, UK
Somaliland will not answer the call of the desperate and discredited factions currently seeking shelter in Baydhabo.
Why would Somaliland hold talks with people who are not democratically elected and politically bankrupt? What could Somaliland possibly gain from such talks? The answer is nothing.
It is obvious that any talks with Somaliland will give instant credibility to the Imbaghti factions. Such talks would also provide an excuse for these morally corrupt and redundant politicians to cancel the democratic elections slated for 2009 in Somalia, thus extending their already ineligible occupation of power in that unfortunate country.
Somaliland will carry on its path towards international recognition by presenting its substantial credentials, by continuing to be a beacon of peace, democracy and development in the region.
Somaliland will stay on its course of dialogue, discussions and consensus in overcoming any internal or external difficulties. Somaliland will foster good relations with its neighbors in the region.
Somaliland will further encourage the people of Somalia to choose the road to democracy, peace and development. Somaliland will aid all the peoples of the region in their efforts to express their voices through the ballot box. Somaliland will respond to the cries for help from the sincere people of Somalia.
In the meantime, Somaliland refuses to give credibility to an unelected, unrepresentative, undemocratic and totally redundant bunch of opportunists.
In the fullness of time, there may come a day when a democratically elected leader of Somalia, irrespective of age, gender or clan kinship, may wish to visit his/her neighboring country of Somaliland. When that day comes, Somaliland, a sovereign nation will welcome such a person with all the usual pomp and circumstances.
Until that day, "yaan la isku soo lug go'in", Somaliland doesn't need to answer the calls of the desperate, discredited and dissolute.
