Somaliland Foreign Minister Slams Somalia’s Allegations

Hargeisa, 27 April 2009 (Somalilandpress) - The Somaliland Foreign Minister, Abdillahi Mohamed Du'ale said the Somalia's minister of foreign affairs have been faking information that Somaliland is ready to have talks with Somalia after things settle down there.

In a press conference in his office today, Mr. Du'ale said Somaliland is an independent country and there is no reason to talk to Somalia about unity. "The Somali's minister of originally from Somaliland and he went there for personal interest. I would suggest him to stick with his interest and not to interfere our issues" Said the minister. He said the Somalia's Foreign Minster is the not first who went to Somalia and those before him have completely failed to harm Somaliland. He said there is no way Somaliland would go back to unite with Somalia.

He said the Somalia's minister was a normal young businessman in Hargeisa before he secretly sneaked to Djibouti. "He does not know anything about politics" Said Mr. Dua'leh.

The minister praised the Somaliland's relationship with Djibouti which improved in the last few months. He said Djibouti is one of our good friends in the region.

Some of the media outlets published that the foreign minister of Somalia, Mr. Oomaar said they reached an agreement with Somaliland to have talks with Somalia when the situation gets better in Mogadishu.

Somaliland declared its sovereignty from the rest of Somalia in 1991 when the Somali government collapsed and the country went into a deep chaos. Since then Somaliland managed to establish a democratic institutions and elected executive and a president.
