The Somalian "student" in the video is actually the CEO of the mining company that hired Russian lithium expert Oleg Nikolaevich Lopatin.
This was not an innocent educational visit. It was a Somalian employer and his staff preparing a heist.
Mayors in Somaliland shouldn’t have to go all the way to Europe for training in city infrastructure development. The solution is right next door.
Our local governments should partner with our closest neighbour, who has impressed the whole African continent over the past few years
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention is issuing a Red Flag Alert for Genocide against the people of Somaliland, particularly the Isaaq clan, who are at risk of suffering another genocide at the hands of the neighboring state of Somalia. The Institute is concerned that Israel’s recent recognition of Somaliland’s sovereignty could have the effect of rendering Somaliland even more vulnerable to military invasion from Somalia in an effort to “restore” territorial integrity before it loses more political ground.
As demonstrated by the recent speech given by Permanent Representative of Somalia to the UN, Ambassador Abukar Dahir Osman, the Somalian government continues to deny the 1987-1989 genocide against the Isaaq people, which claimed an estimated 200,000 lives. Somalia's political project of denying Somaliland’s sovereignty is similar in nature to the contemporary genocidal projects towards Ukrainians, Armenians, and Palestinians. There is a very high chance that any military invasion of Somaliland by Somalian forces will result in the genocide of Somaliland communities only 35 years after Somalia committed the Isaaq Genocide.
Notwithstanding any self-serving intentions behind Israel’s recognition of Somaliland’s “right to self-determination,” the rapid international backlash to Israel’s move threatens to obscure the legitimacy of Somaliland’s claims to independence and exacerbate tensions in the already-volatile Horn of Africa region.
Somaliland has a strong legal case for independence. A 2005 African Union Fact-Finding mission concluded that the union between Somaliland and Somalia was not ratified and thus not legally binding. Now is the time for the United Nations, the African Union, and other international bodies to work towards the establishment of Somaliland’s independence as a legal fact. Such a process would serve the interests of genocide prevention and peace-building in the Horn of Africa region.

TRUTH 2 - Sovereignty means governing ourselves
UN agencies brand as "#Somalia," coordinate through Mogadishu and treat #Somaliland as a field office. World Bank channels funds through Somalia. The training wheels come off. We govern our own institutions or they withdraw.

@OIC_OCI THE REPUBLIC OF SOMALILAND is a country of 100% Islam, They said So called “Somaliland” Meanwhile they said Israel, These shows the hypocricy of these so-called islamic states.
Shame on You
I have a report from Paolo Contini a UN legal advisor apart of a technical team sent to Somaliland/somalia on October 1960. This is what he had to say on his arrival
‘The first task of the commission was the clarify the legal effects of the union which had been formed on 1 July 1960….the commission came to the conclusion that they(act of union documents) were both legally defective,and could not be regarded as having the force of law for the whole republic…..the legal consequences of the union were uncertain.’
There was no legal document to show that a union actually happened we so the UN and Italian lawyers drafted a retroactive unilateral and local law which in reality was insufficient because a union requires both sides to sign and retroactive laws goes against international norms
Further more the rejected rigged referendum of 1961 was for the Italian drafted constitution and not regarding the union. Had the results accurately been presented and the referendum had failed it would’ve just led to another one.
In summary there was no valid documents and in effect was a de facto annexation and not a de jure union of equals
@westtoeastt@elizondogabriel Slovenia seceded unilaterally from Yugoslavia which responded with military action. A breakaway cannot lecture about the UN charter it broke itself
I'm Somali from Somaliland. I support Palestinian self-determination, Somaliland's independence, and a peaceful future for Somalia. These aspirations are not in conflict; they're complementary—every nation deserves freedom and dignity. So stop assuming confusion.
@5Pillarsuk I for one, wish that any other country was the one to recognise Somaliland
However, what is even more shameful is the fact that Somaliland has spent 35 years begging their Muslim brothers to bestow them their rights only to face shut doors, an exclusion that cost countless lives
This is more necessary today than it has been before. Mass expulsion of Somalians from Somaliland.
On grounds of national security, the president @Abdirahmanirro must order the removal of Somalians from the country.
Turkey recognized Israel 76 years ago.
Egypt recognized Israel 46 years ago.
Both enjoy full diplomatic ties and billions in deals.
When they do it: halal national interest ✅
When others do it: haram outrage 🤣
Political prostitution.
🚨 Aid money in Somalia is a lucrative business
— Two businessmen are making a fortune from aid money to Somalia. They have gone from food shortages to single-family homes in the best areas of the city.
