Finally watched the whole event.
I’m very disappointed by the Lander reaction to a few clipped segments that made President Irro look unserious or foolish.
Irro is no fool.
We can disagree with his performance, but even then, Somaliland advocates should focus on the strongest parts of the event and share those on X. Attacking him based on a misleading impression created by short clips is what’s foolish.
His speech was excellent, and in the places where people misquoted or mocked him, the full answers were actually solid.
Somaliland’s president isn’t there to perform as an analyst or strategist. He’s there to represent the country, and I thought he handled several questions smartly, especially on Houthis, Sudan and Taiwan.
He was laughing more towards the end, which made sense to me. It was a very long session.
I’m aware there are Somaliland opposition concerns on local issues. Fair enough.
But Somaliland–US partnership is not a local political issue.
@khaledmahmoued1 Don't forget that Houthis are also Muslim and the holy Kaba belongs to them as well. If Saudi can not defend it then Houthis can be the custodians. No issue at all.
@WelllnownSL@faisalroble19 You nailed it well. Oromosation is happening to his very close clan lineage and still he is trying to backfire the blessed people of Somaliland.
@faisalroble19 The self hated Ethiopian. By the way, 80% of your sub-clan are becoming Oromo on a daily basis. It is better to take care of your people instead of trying to work against the blessed nation of Somaliland.

@HAGGOOGANE Waxaan u soo joogay dad ku jira payrol ka oo xafiisyo kale ka shaqeeya gaar ahaana Haayadaha international ka ah. Shaqalaahasi waxay u badanyihiin kuwo ka diwan gashan Wasaarada caafimaadka. Meeshu waa masaariif land.
It has been said: Allah revealed to Prophet Musa “O’ Musa, the first to
die among My creatures was Iblis (Satan). That is because he disobeyed
Me, and I consider those who disobey Me among the dead.
@ProfHusseinWar Prof. Hussein, we are not against unity. Somaliland sacrificed its independence in 1960 for the Somali union. This time, let Djibouti, Northeastern Kenya, and Somali Ethiopia lead the way first, as we did in the 1960s.
@Ali_Proffesor You are confused bro. They are Somali by ethnicity and Somalilander by nationality. The same is true for Somalis in Ethiopia, Kenya and Jabuti ( Ethnicity Somali, Nationality Ethiopian, Kenyan, Jabutian). Use your Caqli bro.
@wacdar Sida ay kuwaasiba dal u leeyihiin ayuu dal Somaliland la yidhaahdo u leeyahay taas ku biyo cab. Hadii dalkaas fashilmay Turky iyo Sucuudi leehay dadka Somaliland noo laaya maxaa noo diidaya inaanu cid kaashano wax noo lahaysa.
