Honoured to meet Buhodle Mayor Khadija Ahmed Yusuf, #Somaliland’s only female mayor after recent local council elections and a role model for other aspiring female politicians.

Open forex at the middle of the city & the cash which owners leave for prayers with NO guard surprises almost all visitors and makes Hargeisa among the safest cities in the world.
The HoA region is in crisis, #Ethiopia has ethnic conflicts, Eritrea & DJibouti are cursed w/brutal dictators, Somalia has been failed State; the only bright spot is #Somaliland, democratic, peaceful, thriving economy, open society, pro-western, friends w/ Taiwan & against China.

My remarks to Taiwanese Business Communities interesting to engage commercial activities in Africa by #Somaliland being the gateway to the continent through its newly established and modernised ports, airports and roads.
#Berbera.
Congratulations to all new #Somaliland MPs sworn in to the House of Representatives this morning, and also to the newly elected speaker and deputies. The UK looks forward to working with you over the next five years.
Congrats to Somaliland on opening of new container port in Berbera. Yet another indication of how well that country works despite unwise international isolation. When will we finally see good news from Somalia?
On the 24th of this month, our nation will celebrate the expansion of Berbera port invested by @DP_World which will be opened and start operations this week.
Berbera Port will serve as a strategic trade gateway for the entire region and the land locked countries in particular.
This morning, I bade farewell to President @musebiihi
With these elections, Somaliland has made a huge statement, that they are able to conduct free, peaceful and credible elections and that they aspire to be masters of their own destiny. @BrenthurstF #Somalilandelection2021
Republic of #Somaliland is making history. Close to 1000 candidates from 3 political parties are contesting over limited seats. 2/3 of the candidates will lose, yet the leaders of political parties hold hands for the common interest of our nation.

I welcome all International observers to the Republic of Somaliland for election monitoring.
Our nation is well-known for its democratic, free & fair elections and as we're going to the polls on Monday, I call the people of Somaliland to vote peacefully.
