Somalia: Israel to recognize Somaliland independence

According to a local source, Golisnews, Yigal Palmor, Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesperson is quoted on the Israeli newspaper of Haaretz Daily saying his government was ready to recognize Somaliland again.

 

While answering to a question regarding Somaliland-Israel ties, he said: “Israel was the first nation to recognize Somaliland and indeed was the first country the State of Israel has recognized, after it received its Independence from Great Britain. When it unified with Southern Somalia, again we were the first to recognize it. We always wanted a relationship with a Muslim country in East Africa and which we can share the Red sea with.”

it is really great win
It is really interesting thing if Isreal recognize Somaliland becouse all the Arab countries refused to recognize somaliland as a independent country and they lose the right of poeple of somaliland to decide their self determination .becouse the historically somaliland and somalila were seperate countries .and somaliland well comes any one who give international recognition to reach its goals.

Actually somaliland has historical differnces of somalia. north somali adal empire (somaliland) with Ahmed gragn in command (Ahmed Gragn is somali as his nethpeh was known to be in a somali clan). fought with abyssinia while the south somali ajuuran empire fought the portegeuse invasion with succsess and took over the swahili port city's

But the point here is that the south have bomed The northen city's which were inhabited by Issaqs

Dirty foreign meddling
What is the difference the between the so-called Somali-land rest of Somalia in term of ethnic ,tribes religion, history and so forth ? Apparently nothing much. I know this fact very well, so I argue to countries or people who wish otherwise and kept meddling its affairs to stop and respect the majority of whole Somali wishes, not a single estranged tribe among many. Thank you very much!

Independence for Somaliland?

Inshallah, the governments of Canada and Israel, recognising the independence of the Republic of Somaliland, Somaliland will return to the world stage as an independent nation state for the first time in nearly 50 years.

This does not constitute an infringement of the frontiers of Somalia as the Republic of Somaliland will be acting in the same manner as Syria and Senegal did, when they ended their acts of union with Egypt as the United Arab Republic in 1961 and the Senegambia Confederation in 1989 respectively. Somalia being as it is an union of two states much in the same vein as that of the United Arab Republic and Senegambia did in the past and as Tanzania continues to do.

Somaliland as we are all aware, received independence as the State of Somaliland from the Bristish on the 26th of June in 1960, was recognised as an independent entity by 35 nations (including Israel) and voluntarily engaged in an act of union with the Trust Territory of Somalia, itself newly independent from Italy, from the 1st of July 1960. It has acted as a de facto independent entity, largely consisting of the internationally agreed borders of both the British Protectorate of Somaliland and the independent State of Somaliland, since 1991 as the Republic of Somaliland and in this time has brought an island of homegrown peace to the Horn of Africa with little in the way of foreign assistance.

In earning the title of 'Africa's best kept secret' through its local solutions for local people, Somaliland can list the following achievements of rebuilding its own country from political repression, neglect, civil war and ruin; created a national constitution and government; had 7 elections rated as being some of the freest and fairest in Africa; created its own currency and passports; and being the only consistently stable part of Somalia since the collapse of the Somali dictatorship in 1991.

Inshallah Somaliland will return to the world stage and its unique approach to conflict reolution and transformation will be hailed as one of the most appropriate methods of attaining a lasting peace to protracted social conflicts.

Inshallah, Somali's worldwide will hail this transition into a stable political entity and urge the world community to push for a similar peace process in Somalia that involves the political emancipation of the people of Somalia rather than utilising armed factions as a sole method of bringing a cessation of the conflict.
