Somalia has again taken up verbal war against Somaliland and its quest for international recognition still blinded by the belief that it can recapture the de facto republic with words – and arms if necessary.
The latest barrage followed a Twitter message which Chatham House Africa published, following the CORD leader’s speech at the renowned, international think-tank institution on democracy in Africa on July 29.
Mr. Odinga spoke, evocatively, of Somaliland’s quest for international recognition, recalling his intimate knowledge of the history and political track of Somaliland and its people.
The former PM said he supported Somaliland in its quest for a re-asserted independence – an independence it preceded Kenya by 3 years from the same ruler – Great Britain. Somaliland, however, was a protectorate.
