“The government of Villa Somalia, which has been running up and down everywhere in recent days, claiming that it Somaliland is part of them, given that they know the facts vividly hence do not even have complete control of their own backyard”.

I am telling them that we have entered an unprecedented time and it is necessary for you to participate in the efforts to recognize Somaliland.”
