Berbera, Somaliland, July 9, 2011 (SL Times) – A British war ship docked in Somaliland’s Berbera port this week. British military personnel disembarked and were seen at the Berbera port. Somaliland’s President Ahmed Sillanyo met with British officials on board the ship before he flew to Sudan.
Due to the military nature of the visit, neither side would reveal the purpose behind it or what was discussed by Somaliland and British officials. But given the deteriorating security situation in Yemen and the chaos engulfing several Arab countries, not to mention the terrorist threats emanating from south central Somalia and increasing piracy, it only makes sense to strengthen security cooperation with Somaliland in order to prevent terrorist from extending their tentacles to the struggling country.
