Lol he simply said that he is going to make a committee to begin talks with Somaliland. Siilanyo himself recanted his former position of not having talks with tfg to wanting to have a dialogue with tfg as one would have with "neighboring countries". This is one of the things that have come out of the Somalia conference sxb, the higher powers have spoken.

International Community has made it clear that they will go forward with the federal road map that was set out. The dual policy that was being employed prior is off the table, so everyone either gets going with the TFG and road map or is left isolated. That's their only bargaining chip.Lol he simply said that he is going to make a committee to begin talks with Somaliland.

Inadeer waa ku fahmay laakin still, its very clear the TFG always had a advanced prioritization issue along the borders of delusion. For one, it is not time for that, nor is it important for the TFG. When all the land they are supposed to control is ruled by stranded refugees from Kandhahar, they have no place to worry about other regions/lands.
Teeda kale la soco Rule Number 1 in Negotiation us Bargaining Position. What bargaining position does the TFG have?

Al Shabaab has never had a desire to be apart of the international community. I think Somaliland and Puntland want to be in those realms and they don't want to suffer possible isolation from the IC by refusing to be part of the road map.Shirib,
If Shabab a ragtag, destitute group can say fock off to the International Community, I think Regional Admins that have been established for well over a decade (Somaliland, Puntland) can do the same.

What are you the spokesperson for Somaliland?Somaliland attending the conference didn't really mean a change in it's political objectives but more a change in diplomacy and route to achieve those objectives.
If the news are true,it would have been much better to have talks with the next real government instead of the present TFG.

They don't get set the parameters of the discussion . They have called for discussions ON THE FUTURE OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP .must workout between themselves whatever level of unity they will have

This change in the objectives,I believe this is all in your head and the minds of some unionists because on the ground, contrary to whatever 'pro-union' Somaliland politicians may say or do, the citizens themselves are adamant on never changing that political objective.Government's are voted in and out,they come and go. It's a well known fact that in general Sl politicians are more or less liberal on the issue of independence than the electorate,so if anything it's a people's power game.
A change in it's political objective of seeking recognition is not a hard thing. The Somaliland government will hop on anyone who is pro union for political reasons. It is also a mechanism in which to control the population, and prevent civil strife. From implementing such things as moving shacks from central hargeisa you will hear one of the justifications being earning secession. So I things have to be done very slowly before changing it's said "political objectives". But the international community clearly said that Somalis (Somaliland and Somalia) must workout between themselves whatever level of unity they will have. Unity is not in question.
