  1. Ethiopia-please recognize Somaliland as soon as possible instead of wasting your time and money to support the desperate transitional somali government and other useless factions in the south.

  2. God bless ethiopia!!! somaliland has a great friend in ethiopia. we used to be the same country 1700 years ago under AXUM Empire. now, let us become powerful allies for peace in the region. Two African countries, two great history of black empires Axum and Adal.

    LETS GO!!
    Peace for Somaliland!!!

    • ADAL? hahahaha what history have you been reading? ADAL was and is still considered in ethiopia the most hatted empire that ever existed, they consider Ahmed Gurey a murderer and a madman, but we know all that is nothing but horse shit, but what is unbelievable is you trying to impress the ethiopian readers(if there is any) by comparing ADAL Empire to Abyssinian kingdoms who were defeated by father of somalis Ahmed Gurey the most celebrated hero for us Somalians and the most hatted man in ethiopia, stop ass kissing tha habasha

  5. another somali puppet meeting his master, Abdirahman Tuur yes indeed what would our great hero and father Ahmed Gurey thing of these traitors, the habasha are here only for our seas and to undermine somali unity, over the years i have become sick of these separatists there is nothing they wouldn't do for the habasha but at the same time breed hatred for other somalis, we are no longer in bed whit these animals who sell our docks to the enemy and at the same time agree to drug our people with drugs(qaad) from ethiopia

  6. This guy is probably an Ethiopian undercover agent. How can he cast aside his Somali brothers and make an Ethiopian the closest of the two. Some people can do whatever suits their ego without a shame!!.
    Ethiopia is not your friend, stuff this in your head. Their day will be made when Somalia becomes as many mini states as it likes. This is their goal if you cant get the grip of the game adeer. They will pretend to be your best friend as long as they use Berbera port and could use you politically against your own people.

  7. Being a Soalilander does not mean to hate our brothers. We are on the same boat, if they fall we won't be standing alone. We are 3 million and Ethiopia is over 70 million people who have an eye on our long seashore at the peninsula. They will use every trick to divide us, making us weak to dictate whatever they deem beneficial to their country. Ethiopia is composed of a mosaic of ethnicities and they are politically not on the same page, but are unanimously in agreement on one thing: everything MUST come after the Ethiopian unity.

  8. I am so proud of Somaliland and I always read about Somaliland news .
    People of Somaliland are very nice and good listener at all .I hope they will
    Independent soon will recognize the UN and become a great country in Eastern Africa.Also I read one of article from brother so do you think all people just like you and I think you are from stupid Somalia and all Somalia they are anarchy in the world and they don't know what will good things and wrong things .Also most of Somalian people are illiterate that why always fight each other so I hope you understand my brother from Somalia and you must respectful people of Somailand .Also all people from Somalian still don't know they are think are Arab ,but are not Arab ,but we are all Muslim and even don't know about Islam what it say to us ,I am from Sudan , but we have a few Arab in Sudan , but even they are better then you my brother from Somalia .Am not Arab ,but I could speak Arabic Language ,I hope you will learn from me dear.I live in USA and I met so many people from Somalian when they see you just ask you where are you from if I said to them am from Sudan are you Muslim if I said to them yes I am Muslim again are you really Muslim what does means Muslim really and not really dear brother from Somalia you have to learn from your brother from Somailand and from Sudan .

    • before claiming that somali people are not educated i suggest you learn how to spell english first and then come for a proper debate, SUDAN hahaha you are obviously habasha loser

  9. This guy, calling himself Ismail is not Sudanese, but an African in disguise.

    "Also all people from Somalian still don't know they are think are Arab , but are not Arab." This notion of yours is a typical African thinking. You could have come up with your true colors instead of disguising as a Sudanese.
    You called Somalia "stupid" because of the war there, why then you didn't ask yourself about Darfur if you are a Sudanese? And who told you Somalis are ignorant? Do you know that we have the largest Web Sites in Africa according to the Global Web hosting?. We are only 3.5 million in Somaliland, but we have more than 5 Universities and they are still growing. Go with your BS to somewhere else man.

  10. As a Somalilander, we need Ethiopia as much as Ethiopia needs us. To survive both countries, Somaliland and Ethiopia, need to cooperate.

    But Ethiopia MUST STOP two things: its constant efforts to destabilise Somalia and its barbaric brutality against the Somali people [Ogaden people] in the territory that it controls.

    As long as the above issue are outstanding, Somalilanders will show fake friendship to Ethiopians.
