[sally1940able1]

they dont understand yet that the world is not interested to hear about secessionist of somalia. just cheked out. south sudan is freed. and will be a state internationally recognized on july2011. and somalia as a member of african nations will be the first to recognize south sudan as well. beautiful south sudan... honest people. they deserve to become an african nations. not lalalalalaland afdadeertta kkkkkkkkkkkkkksomaliland is a one project clan among somalis tribes.deadlock.

[muffles12]

@sally1940able1 south sundan is still part of sudan when they split and freed . like somaliland when they freed from somalia still part of somalia

[sally1940able1]

please dont cal borama somalialand. borama is awdalland. evrybody has his ownland. and somalia is the only legal entity wether yu like or not. so borama belongs to somalia nation not hargeysa region.

[Shukria123]

Long live free Somalia!

Long live independent Somaliland!

[naila1226]

[ESSSUM]

We've been waiting for recognition for like 2 decades... what's to say it will ever come... SNM fought against a brutal regime, but were they ever fighting for independence?? We have our self-governance, is a new flag really necessary?

[malosalele]

The only working part of the Somalia. Progress and modernization, I must say I'm quite impressed, very impressed indeed. Their probably better than most of the other African countries, where all the leaders care about is money and longevity. Hats off to Somaliland, I would sure recognize it if I was in power.

[farahawale]

i hope so that every body live in peace

we can do it betta somaliland and somalia or puntland just make it easy

I support SOMALILAND and hope that they get the recognition they deserve.

[ibieinnit]

I support ISLAM and hope that we grow and stay united.

[TaskiyahEmaani]

first report al jazeera failed to tell the story from all sides, why isnt the plight of the Gabooye highlighted? why isnt the illegal incursions into sool sanaag and ayn mentioned?, and more over why dosnt the reporter share with the viewers the true identity of the criminal president Riyale who was a former foot solder of the barre regime?

a disapointing coverage from al jazeera indeed.

[yuusuf19]

somaliland should change tha somali beacuse it can make big problem we can call uss "esenem" or "snm" but please somaliland has change there name i hate tha name somali if i was president i would have change tha name somaliland to Esenem"

Independent Kosovo, Next Somaliland? Links to World Reaction.Published 02/16/2008 on jimmatimes.

[ingly2007]

watch the whole PMQ's on the House of Parliament website (number 10): Somaliland question by the Hon. Alun Michael is on 11:52 minutes.

[ingly2007]

This is the exact transcript of today's PMQ's (9/01/08) and can you believe it, Somaliland was mentioned by the Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Hon. Alun Michael of cardiff asked the question.

[ingly2007]

Alun Michael (Cardiff, South and Penarth) (Lab/Co-op): You are aware, Mr. Speaker, that the President of Somaliland and members of his Cabinet are visiting Parliament at present. Will my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister join me in congratulating Somaliland on the way in which it has worked over the past 18 years, very quietly, through local government elections, parliamentary elections and presidential elections? ...

[ingly2007]

...When the people of the south have no real government and are still in a state of chaos, does not that record command respect from the international community?

[ingly2007]

The Rt Hon Prime Minister Gordon Brown: I agree with my right hon. Friend, who is a friend of that country. I welcome the visitors to this country, and we will do everything that we can not only to help with international development for the countries with which we are associated, but to help to build the institutions of democracy.

[alamagan088]

dream tribe naver be anation, somaliland ,s my counrt and i love somaliland, and somaliland never have two meaning -is only got one meaning wich's land of somalia, what ever you said it will be same shit , the guy who's talking about hate ,every somalian people knows haters, haters are those who wonna devide somalia,

thanks to allahh who made dhulbahante clane to be in north somalia

[samiqutub]

I personally think if Somali(land) or in this case all of Somalia is to develop, we should follow the cases of the United States, Canada, Germany and Australia after they were subjected to the Great Depression. Having to rebuild an economy, they saw that investing in Public Works Projects (i.e. building infrastructure) was a way of stimulating an economy. It had a roll on effect, like that of pushing a boulder... once it started, it kept on rolling!!!

[osmanistheman]

jealous people.. theY hate the GOOD!!!.. HATERS WHO JUST WANT BAD!!! somaliland is a country you stupids!.. live with it. THE ALL TRIBE IN SOMALILAND ARE CALLED SOMALILAND YOU STUPIDS, NO ONE IS BEEN OVERPOWERED.. SO IF SOMALILAND WANNA LIVE IN PEACE LET THEM.. MOVE ON SOMALIA.. DJABOUTI MOVED ON YOU NEED 2 MOVE ON...LIFE IS SHORT..LET HAVE PEACE...IF WE CAN'T LIVE TOGETHER LETS LIVE SEPARATELY IN PEACE.. WHAT AN IDIOTS YOU HATERS ARE...

[fiivow1]

there is no a country is called somaliland. somaliland is small region north of somalia which oporates by tribe law which is called issaq and as we know tribe can not be nation .. u guys who named themselves as somalilanders are confusing people ... u guys are in dream and u need to work out the unity of somalia idoits

[zakaria200911]

There is no country called Somali(land), I am from that part of Somalia, and except for few who want to separate Somalia into small weak countries, the rest and the majority of Somalis are against that. The best kept secret is that: the whole of Somalia is at peace, except Mogadishu,but inshallah Mogadishu itself will be at peace soon.Long live united Somalia

Somaliland And Our Arab Nations Brothers

By Ahmed Kheyre, London, UK

One of the most compassionate yet fractious relationship is the one between siblings. Somaliland seems to have a love-hate relationship with our brother Arab nations, we love them, for some reason they seem to hate us.

[nodnolboy]

Personally, and this is my own opinion, I am not an Arabphile. As a Somalilander, I am able to trace my ancestry to the Arabian peninsula. I am Muslim, I am African, and to a lesser extent pseudo "Arab". Pseudo "Arab" in the sense that I am not racially Arabic, but I am sure my ancestor came from that region centuries ago.

[nodnolboy]

Having said that, I am can understand and speak some Arabic. I have even been to Arab nations, and I know a lot of Somalilanders and Somalis who have worked, were born, and expelled from Arab nations, particularly the Gulf nations.

[nodnolboy]

But, Somalilanders as a whole have nothing but a fraternal love for their "Arab" siblings, and all we get in return is scorn and negligence. Somaliland is a democratic republic, not many of our "Arab" brothers are. Somaliland is a poor country, whilst our "Arab" relatives are rich. Yet, not only does Somaliland get a meager assistance from these nations, but, its primary source of revenue, livestock experts is subject to an unfair embargo.

[nodnolboy]

At this time, I don't wish to generalize, because, there are Arab nations, particularly the United Arab Emirates and Yemen, who are more than willing to do business with Somaliland. There are also several businessmen and women from the Arabian peninsula who are conducting their own private business in Somaliland, but two of the most powerful nations in the Arab world Egypt and Saudi Arabia remain implacably opposed to Somaliland. Why?

[nodnolboy]

Let me take the case of Egypt. Egypt is worried about Ethiopia and the Nile. Well, Ethiopia is occupying Mogadishu, and yet I don't see Egypt doing anything about it.

[nodnolboy]

Let me turn to Saudi Arabia. The Saudis are known for their generosity and the religious role they play in the Muslim world. Saudi Arabia is the custodian of the holy places of Islam. Saudi Arabia has been known for its generous support of the poorer Muslim nations. However, if the Saudis let the oil companies explore for Oil in Sudan and Somaliland in the 60's and 70's, these countries wouldn't be so poor!

[nodnolboy]

In terms of the Somaliland and Saudi Arabian relationship which is nascent, I can only make the following comment. If Saudi Arabia refuses permission to thousands of Somaliland pilgrims because of their nationality and passports, then it is un-Islamic and the height of hypocrisy.

[nodnolboy]

2) As I said, I am not an Arabphile, nor am I an Arabphobe, but when I see Palestine and Iraq, all I see is much ado about nothing. I am a Somaliland patriot, and I have seen Somaliland's efforts to integrate itself with its "Arab" brothers, in spite of the role these nations played in supporting the Barre regime, the current indifference to the slaughter of Muslim brothers and sisters in Somalia, and still nothing.

[nodnolboy]

Somaliland And Our Arab Nations Brothers

By Ahmed Kheyre, London, UK

As a patriot, I have come to the conclusion that the path of Somaliland's success lies with our African brothers, the Commonwealth, Europe, and the rest of the World, not in the Arabian peninsula. I am not saying we should ignore our "Arab" brothers, but if I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath. If you doubt my veracity talk to the Palestinians and the Iraqis.

[craxmaan10]

I am really proud as a Somaliland because our country is developing in year by year so recognizing.

I hope one day I help my country to be one of the world's peaceful countries. In fact, we have everything we could have in our country.

Special thanks to Aljazeera English for this wonderful documentary.

[wcgb]

[Shaxaaari]

Somaliland is part of Somalia and i am happy for the poeple of Somaliland for what they have achieved but there is one thing that they will never stop and that is Racism...

[nodnolboy]

Power to the young generations of Somalilanders both men & women. Rageh Omaar is another son of Somaliland.

[nodnolboy]

Thanks to AlJazeeraEnglish and Sama al-shahad with her pretty face. We hope more documentaries will follow. Our own Rageh Omaar who is originally from Somaliland will make more programmes on Somaliland on Witness...We hope Arab countries, specially the golf states, will recognise Somaliland in the Future. Egypte is the main obstacle. Britain is another country who help Somaliland financially, we are greatful to South Africa and Sweden as well
