The Somaliland government has issued a strongly worded response
to a ludicrous statement made by the
chair of the federal government of Somalia's elections commission, Marwo
Halimo Ibrahim.
Speaking to the media, the
Somaliland minister of Information and Public Guidance, Mohamed Muse
Dirie stated "the assertion by the chair of the Somalia's election
commission that candidates from Somaliland who will take part in the
prospective "national elections" slated for 2020, should submit their
names, is not only offensive, but delusional".
Minister Dirie declared "In the
event that the administration in Mogadishu can even hold one person, one
vote elections in the scant territory they presume to control is a
fallacy, and not based on the reality on the ground. It is disturbing to
hear such silly statements such as the one as made the chair of the
elections commission in Somalia"
The
minister concluded "It is in the interest of the region and all the
Somali speaking administrations, that Mogadishu must get it's own house
in order first, and reach an agreement with all the "federal"
administrations, before they can even mention Somaliland. How are we
expected to hold talks with people who are living in a fantasy world,
when all we do is wish them all the best, peace, securityand progress
and all they wish Somaliland is the opposite? Please, have some respect
for Somaliland"
The weak federal governemnt in
Mogadishu recently held a meeting with the member federal states in
Garowe, Puntland, on election issues. The meeting ended without a
consensus.
Meanwhile, Somaliland is planning to hold parliamentary and local elections on December 12th, 2019.
