Hargeysa, Somaliland, June 2, 2012 (SL Times) – Two independent Italian
journalists arrived in Hargeysa, Somaliland, this week.
The two journalists, Cesare Sangalli (a writer) and Fabrizio Bisogni (a
photo journalist) talked with Haatuf reporter Ahmed Ige regarding their
trip to Somaliland. They said the purpose of their visit was to find out
more about the peace and democracy in Somaliland and expressed concern
that the international community has not recognized Somaliland until
now.
Cesare Sangalli who has worked in the media for 20 years, noted that he
first read about Somaliland in the French magazine Jeune Afrique. He
also explained that he had written many journalistic reports about the
Sudan and used to advocate for South Sudan’s separation from North
Sudan, consequently, he was very happy when South Sudan achieved its
independence.
Likewise, he now supports Somaliland’s independence and will advocate
for it.
