THT: The United Nations is set for a new strategy in engagement with Somaliland.
While Somaliland is not a member of the UN due to her status as an unrecognized but de- facto state, the global body has indicated a desire for enhanced direct engagement with authorities in Hargeisa.
This follows a meeting between President Muse Bihi Abdi with UN under secretary general in the US where the Somaliland head of State and his delegation is winding up a ten days official tour.
The President was accompanied by foreign minister Dr Essa Kayd and Amb Bashir Gorth the indefatigable Somaliland Representative in Washington DC.
Revealing about the meeting the foreign minister tweeted
Today @baruud & I accompanied H.E. @musebiihi to a meeting at the @UN HQ in New York. At the meeting with the Deputy Secretary we discussed humanitarian issues, development and the ongoing drought amongst other things. The meeting ended with a positive way forward for Somaliland. pic.twitter.com/2tOVQkE5e7
