(LONDON) The Somaliland community in the UK on 18th May 2011, will hold a rally to mark the 20th anniversary of the birth of the Republic of Somaliland. The rally will be held on the said date at Old Palace Yard Westminster (opposite the houses of Parliament) between 1:00-5:00PM.
The rally is also a way of expressing our gratitude to the British Government for increasing its financial assistance to Somaliland. While the much needed financial assistance is thankfully accepted and welcomed, Somalilanders in the UK are calling on the British government to also extend greater political support and spearhead to help Somaliland achieve the long overdue international recognition.
