You are mistaken, you are referring to the brief period of weakness vis a vis our relationship with Ethiopia during the Riyale term.
The Udub government was afraid of internal opposition so was very weak when it came to foriegn affairs, and riyale was very deferential towards melez.
The silanyo government brought back balance to the relationship, it is now back to how it was under cigal,
infact we are more distant than before, and there is a thaw in our relationship..
The Ethiopians do not like the Kulmiye government, they have even had the audacity to suggest changes in the cabinet, and they were treated to official rebuke from the government.
We are not somalia, we are soverign ..
You can criticize Melez as much as you want in Hargiesa, but holding a somaliweyn rally will get you locked up..
and i do not want to denigrate riyale too much,
if i am not mistaken he got a good deal from the Ethiopians in trade..
The Ethiopians handed an equal if not more criminal/terrorists to somaliland than we handed to them.
It was a 2 way trade..
has Ethiopia handed over suspects/criminals to Puntland or the Hotel government?
i know this is sad resorting to a my ceeb is bigger than yours contest.
but in this case it is very clear..
recognition or not, My country is sovereign and yours in not.
