Somaliland & Somalia Must Establish Technical Teams & Start Dialogue, Ex-FM

The Somaliland ex-foreign Affairs Minister has urged President Farmajo (Somalia) and President Bihi (Somaliland) to establish technical teams, and with the international community, they will pave the way the resumption of the stalled talks between them.

Former Somaliland Foreign Minister Noahmed Abdillahi Omar delivered a speech at Chattam House, London, on 4th of April, 2019 and was accompanied by former UN envoy to Somalia, Mr. Michael Keating.

As SomalilandStandard.com reports, the former Foreign Minister, Mr. Mohamed Abdilahi Omar has warned, with the strongest possible terms, against any armed confrontations between Somalia and Somaliland.

Mr. Mohamed has urged the UK government to take the mediation role in regard to the dialogue between Somaliland and Somalia. The ex-foreign affairs minister has suggested that the two sides should get together at an international venue in order to discuss their political ties in the future. He cited that what the two sides will agree on the need for a mediation that would put into effect of the agreed outcome.

Majority of Somaliland citizens were born after the recapture of its lost independence where the ex-FM said that Somalia leaders do not address Somaliland’s secession. The former FM stated that the Somalia leaders only raised about Somaliland issue only once when President Mohamed Farmajo (Somalia) was delivering a speech at Somalia’s parliament.
