“The government of Villa Somalia, which has been running up and down everywhere in recent days, claiming that it Somaliland is part of them, given that they know the facts vividly hence do not even have complete control of their own backyard”.
Minister Isse praised the Somaliland communities that have shown support for the cooperation agreement between Ethiopia and Somaliland, and said, “I congratulate all Somaliland communities in the world. I am telling them that we have entered an unprecedented time and it is necessary for you to participate in the efforts to recognize Somaliland.”
