Moving animals and/or moving grass? A clash of pastoralist livelihood interests and livestock business interests in drought-prone Somaliland
#BREAKING
Astounding.
Somaliland is taking its fight for international recognition to the UN.
On Wednesday, 23 September, Somaliland President Abdirahman Irro will address a public rally at Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza, New York, right in front of the UN, to press the case for the world body to address the issue of Somaliland.
The peaceful rally has been authorised by the New York law enforcement agencies and will be attended by pro-Somaliland recognition activists from across the United States and rest of the world.
Somaliland President Abdirahman Irro meets Sen. Ted Cruz, one of the most influential Republican Party leaders at Capitol Hill, Washington, Friday.
Ted Cruz is a leading campaigner for Somaliland's international recognition.
Somaliland’s president suggests that his country could, in effect, be the new Djibouti (the tiny port-state rakes in some $125m a year by renting out slices of its coastline to foreign armies) https://t.co/qSjXBzGvqr
Fiqi wuxu ku hanjabaya Somaliland iyo imaatinka Israail inu wax kasta u adeegsan doono oo ay ku jirto Argagixisadu (kooxdiisi hore ahna xisbiga labbaad ee dalka)😅
Wuxu adeegsaday odhaahda “Safaaradda Dhismaha ku dhex taal” (السفارة في العمارة),
Waxa laga keenay filimka caanka ee Masaarida ee Caadil Iimaam ee 2005-tii, kaas oo ka hadlayay joogitaanka safaaradda Israa’iil ee laga furayay Qaahira. Si ayna u saamaynaya nolol maalmeedka dadka.
Siyaasiyan, Fiqi wuxuu odhaahdan u adeegsanayay sarbeeb ka dhan ah joogitaanka iyo saameynta Israa’iil ee Somaliland iyo arrimaha Soomaaliya.
Macnaha uu gudbinayay wuxuu ahaa in Soomaaliya aysan aqbalayn in Israail maandaqada timaado, waxana laga fahmi kara in ay ku jirto tilmaam ah inay Galaysiin iyo ilaa Argagixisada u adeegsan doonan ka hor taga arintaas.
Waa soo badheedayaa ninku 😆
Interesting:
Somaliland being the ancient Ophir was common knowledge in Western consciousness not long ago.
A 1957 Hollywood golden age film starring John Wayne has a subplot about a man whose father explored Somaliland and found the ancient treasures of Ophir there.
As high school students in #Somaliland begin their national exams, an incredible clip in which a group of young women in hijab complain that their curriculum didn’t include the history of #Israel🇮🇱 or PM @netanyahu under whose gov’t Jerusalem recognized Hargeisa. A new era...👏
