Somaliland is more of a country than Somalia and has been so since the early 90's.

Since the Somali republic became an independent country in 1960 there has never been a president from Somaliland till the day of today , and now when Somaliland is an independent state i don't even think there will be ever a president from Somaliland,,


I don't think a president from Djibouti or from NFD or from the Somali region of Ethiopia can become president of Somalia, and i dont think they are allowed either.

Now this is news to me

Yeah, the guy overcame many obstacles: He was born in an occupied land, lost his dad at young age, so he was raised by his mom in poverty, became major-general and then President for 21 years. You have to admire that

But siyad bare said to the Italian Colonial police that he was born in gedo and not Ethiopia so technically he does not count.

I reckon Somalilanders might feel like all their hard work for recognition was for naught if they allowed a Mareexaan, for example, to be the president of Somaliland. Probably wouldn't matter if the guy was born and raised in Hargeisa.

In the south a heck of a lot of Somalis have dual citizenship so the future in terms of foreign policy will be very interesting.

[TheSultaan]

Greenday there is no law either from the other countries all one has to be is A Somali to become part of the Somali political government,, They are all Somali speaking People and all the Clans that live in Kenya also live in Somalia the Clans that live Ethiopia also live in Somaliland Djibouti etc , so where do you stop for who do you make the rules.

Thanks, a little history learnt here


I just think it would be weird being a Somali coming to somalia and needing a visa

Bv if he had a passport they cant deny him its just that they might not vote for him.


Does anyone know about the passport?

in Somaliland things are different only a group of Clans can become leaders of the nation those that are the natives of Somaliland you have to be A Somaliland native , being born in Somaliland does not make you a Somalilander,, if a Somaliland woman marries a non Somalilander she will lose her citizenship. How ever a person born in Djibouti can become president of Somaliland since his people also live in Somaliland and are citizens of Somaliland , for instance daahir rayaale kahin was born in Ethiopia and became the president of Somaliland

How?
