Cirwaaq how important is the international communities involvment so that there is progress in these talks?
Critical in my view.
1. All internatonally recognised Presidents since 1991 have claimed to represent Somaliland, for the first time they have accepted to have dialogue as equals and not as representatives.
2. International community has insisted Somaliland address their case with their former partners as Somaliland has achieved every international request since 1991, so Somaliland could secure it's right full sovereignty.
3. The meeting is being conducted in plain view of the international community and since it is already agreed that Somaliland's pursuite of Re-independence is a SPECIAL CASE and not Seccession this meeting is simply means to give an opportunity to both States to express their concerns even if the outcome is an agreement between the two states to conduct another referendum.
Personally i see a refendum as futile and time wasting exercise since the 51% majority required to propel Somaliland into instant independence is easily achieved and a pointless conclusion in this case. The result will simply be an insult to the partner being divorced if they so request such a stupid meassure as a final step of the dissolution process of the 1960 union.
- Somalia's fake leaders have failed every measure of leadership since 1991 in plain sight of the international community.
- Somaliland's legitimate leaders have excelled in every measure set by that same international community.
- " 2 State solution" meeting is the means to have both partners satisfied in the
dissolution of union so it is legitimate. The responsibility of the Somaliland side is to ensure they do not rub salt in the wounds of their former partner specially since Somalia's populations have been misinformed and misguided on the potential outcomes. Somaliland can simply walk away for another 21 years without care and to a certain extent they even expect to some degree there might be ZERO outcome from this meeting. Somalia's population however have been overpromised the guarenteed return of the Union and when it does not materialise be in due to Independence or Status quo the, Net Emotional product of that is yet another sucker punch in the belly by the TUUG FODDLING GOONS.
The initial meeting is simply about how the real meeting will be conducted... This is where the boundries are determined it is make or break
I am currious on the constraints that will be requested by both sides as these will deside final outcome.
