The new president of Somalia spoke well about the talks between Somalia & Somaliland. He showed maturity and understanding what is at stake. You can read his interview with VOA or listen to it below. Since February Hasan Sheikh Mohamud has addressed the issue of Somalia & Somaliand's relations 3 times and has said the following:
1. Inside Story on Aljazeera he said: Somaliland and Somalia will need to renegotiate the 1960 union.
2. Campaign Speech for Presidency he said: He will continue the Somaliland and Somalia talks and will not attempt to use military might or diplomatic pressure
to achieve unity.
3. In the below interview with the VOA he said:
a) He will make sure steer clear from anything that can become a roadblock to these talks.
b) He wants unity to come through negotiation.
c) He introduces the possibility that there may not be a union when he says “ Hadiiba aan midowno”. This is a major departure from the script for a politician
from Somalia.
d) He wants unity that is structured that has a solid foundation and does not want the same kind of unity that happened in 1960 where after years of being
united conflict erupted. Basically he doesn’t want unity just for unity’s sake. Underlining his above point of recognizing there may not be a union.
Over all I was very much impressed with his interview.
VOA:
Wadahadaladii lala bilaabay Somaliland ma qorshihii hore ee loo dejiyey ayaad raacaysaa mise hindise iyo istratiji cusub ayaad ku qaabilaysaa?
Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud: Ilaa iyo hadda inta aan ognahay waxa ay tahay wadahadaladaasi waa bilow. Aad iyo aad ayaan u soo dhoweynaynaa. Aad aan raali uga nahay, ugu faraxsanahay. Waxan leenahay labaatan sano, dhowr iyo labaatan sano ka dib in ay hada bilaabatay fursad lagu wada hadlo Maamulkaa Somaliland ka jira halkaa. Waxaan leenahay Dowlada Somaliland anagu in aan la fadhiisano aad iyo aad wada hadalkii bilawday meeshii uu ka bilawday waa laga dhaqaajinayaa. Si fiican ayaa looga dhaqaajinayaa. Xanaf iyo xasaasiyaad iyo wixii carqalad ku noqon karo oo dhan ayaan ka doonaynaa. Aad iyo aad ayey muhiimad noogu tahay oon in dalka midnimadiisa la helo. Lakiin midnimada ma doonayno in ay caadifad iyo emotions iyo lab la kac ku timaado ma doonayno. Xoog in ay ku timaado ma rabno ama xoog milatari ha ahaado ama xoog dhiblomaasiyeed ha ahaado oo beesha caalamka inta loo adeegsado Somaliland lagu khasbo waxna ma doonayno. Midnimo laga wada hadlay oo maxaan ku idhaahdaayeey rukumo ad adag loo dhigay ayaan rabnaa. Anagu hore ayaan u sii soconaa oo waxyaabaha tiirarka ah ee asaasiga ah ee lagu hishiiyo xitaa waxaan rabaa mustaqbalka in lagu daro manjahka waxbarashada si jiilasha cusub ee Soomaalida ahi ay u ogaadaan wixii lagu midoobay iyo in ay muqadisaad in ay yihiin oo in la ilaaliyo ay tahay. Si aanay u dhicin sodon sano afartan sano kale markaan dowlad ahaano hadiiba aan midowno markaan dowlad ahaano ka dib hadana aanan isigu dhicin oonan u kicin. Lakiin aniga dowladaan madaxda ka ahay ee midnimadu waa noo muhiim waana waxay noo tahay wax aan yacni option kale ama dookh kale oon ahayn dalka in la mideeyo ma qabno. Lakiin hadana sidaas wadadaas aan rabnaa in lagu mideeyee ama wadadii shalay lagu midooboo sodon sano markii mid la ahaa ka dib la isku dilay ma doonayno in dib loo qaado.
