Somaliland: Press release
As member of the Swedish parliament, I am delighted to send best wishes to the people of Somaliland as you celebrate your 22nd independence day this May 18.
Over the past years, progress has been made toward stability and good governance. Free and fair elections have been held.
Since 2000, five national elections were held, judged by international experts as free and fair, which have seen power transferred peacefully. Somaliland is still treated officially by international organizations as an autonomous region of Somalia, but this ignores both history and reality in the ground.
Hence it is time for the International Community to recognize Somaliland. Independent Somaliland will contribute peace and stability in a region characterized by war and unrest.
On this special day, I extend our warmest wishes to the people of Somaliland.
