Hargeysa, Somaliland, April 4,
2009 (SL Times) – The Speaker of Somaliland’s Parliament, Mr. Abdirahman
Muhammad Abdillahi (Irro) has advised the disputing Somaliland political
parties to resolve their conflict through dialogue. He also warned that
further delay in the presidential election could result in great
disappointment among many members in the international community who
attach high importance to the election.
The speaker of parliament said this in an interview with the independent
television Somaliland Space Channel.
His comments were triggered by the Upper House’s decision to extend the
term of the president for six months, a decision that was rejected by
the opposition.
The speaker’s concern about the presidential election is shared by many
Somalilanders who are losing patience with the repeated delays in the
election.
