Somaliland Ministry Of Foreign Affairs Releases a Statement on Somalia’s Political Crisis

The Foreign Affairs Ministry of Somaliland has expressed concern over the unfolding events in neighboring Somalia. In a statement released on Wednesday evening, the Ministry said that Somalia’s political stalemate is a testament to the oppressive and tyrannical leadership of the Farmajo regime which is an absolute threat to the stability and security of the region.

The statement adds that the stalemate could plunge somalia into a fresh civil war that will conceivably compel the displacement of thousands of civilians into the neighbouring countries including the Republic of Somaliland.

The statement also urges the resilient people of Somalia to uphold their peace and stability. The Government of Somaliland also commends the decision made by the United Nations Security council to keep the Arms embargo in place.

In addition, the statement notes that Somaliland has preserved democratic values and has successfully held free and fair elections since 2002 and peaceful transfer of power. It therefore urges the international community to directly engage with Somaliland Government and learn from its experience of keeping terrorism at bay and building the nation from ground up and replecate its success of holding free and fair elections to Somalia and beyond.
