Hargeysa, Somaliland, June 12, 2010 (SL Times) – Somaliland traditional leader Bur Madow urged Somalilanders to be vigilant about protecting their peace and security and to participate in voting on election day. The traditional leader made these comments at Hargeysa’s Crown Hotel where he was honored by the journalist organization (SYMA) for his valuable efforts to maintain and strengthen the peace in Somaliland. The President of SYMA called Bur Madow “Somaliland’s Prince of Peace” (boqorka nabada Somaliland).
Speaking to the audience, the traditional leader touched on his visit to some countries in East Asia where he and other African traditional leaders took part in conferences where he explained the case for Somaliland’s independence to his hosts. Highlighting the citizens’ responsibility for keeping the peace, Bur Madow said, “it has always been Somaliland’s people, not the politicians, who safeguard the peace.”
