From wikileaks https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/06DJIBOUTI748_a.html9. (C) In response to A/S Frazer's inquiry about his views on
the status of Somaliland, Guelleh said Somalia should be
reunited under an administration that takes into account the
distance between Mogadishu and Hargeysa. He expressed the
view that the majority in Somaliland know there is no
alternative to a united Somalia and that the international
community will not accept separation. Somalia is, he said,
"one language, one culture, and one tradition" that cannot be
separated. Yet, the new administration should give a voice to
Somaliland, which Guelleh characterized as a one-clan state
that lives in peace and receives money from its diaspora.
Guelleh noted that the most prominent Islamic leader in
Somalia currently lives in Somaliland (NOTE: Guelleh was
referring to Sheikh Ali Warsame, who is President in Burao.
