  1. It seems to me that this Somaliland so called ministers are like Ethiopian ministers, they are no different to the Somali region of Ethiopia. Who cares if Ethiopia needs Berbera port, thats their interest, what about Somaliland interest?

  3. ina illahi wa ina illahi rajacun..Ma waxaan bey sameyeen? That is it somaliland has become a farce at best, we are now dabo-dhilifs of ethiopia. Rayale needs to go he is embarassing us!!!

  4. Let them continue their consultations. What a dillusional lot!.

    Once the shipments arrive the borderline, Ethiopia has no ways and means to safeguard and defend it for the long haul between the boder and its highland destination.

    In between the border and the destination, there are hundreds of kilometers populated by people who are hostile to the very idea who will be waiting to strike it. Keep dreaming.

  5. Adam…this loser rayale just wants to embarass us bro..thats why he doing all these things…its like he hates his own citizen..what sort of leader is this?

    Anyways he embarassed us in washington, he is embarassing in somaliland with this ethiopian deals…since he has been in office i have seen nothing he has done that actually benefits somaliland. The only things that have happened in somaliland benefits are by our religious ppl, business-men, scholars, etc. But this Rayale has not done 1 thing to benefit us in anyway.

    Everything he has done has been to the contrary and not in our benefit, it makes u wonder who's side is this guy on?

  6. Scrutiny on Riyale. Who does he work for? Ethiopia had an eye on Berbera port for sometime. They took their chance of signing fictitious contracts before the guy hits the road. Smart eh?
