Omer,
I am planning to work in Somaliland at the end of February. Can i ask in your opinion if it is safe for a British expat to work there, in particular Hargeisa?
To their surprises of people of Finland , so called The Minister of Health of No country, was on a social welfare on Danish Government for years until he was appointed to so called minster of Health. My sources have told me that Finland Government are only interested to hear how the phony Minster is going to re-pay welfare money he collected fraudulently to the Government of Finland.
Silly Concerned,
Are you sure what you have said about the Honorable Minister? I thought he was an American from the USA and founder of former SSC!
