Residents In the port city of Berbera took to the streets today to demonstrate against the recent decision by the U k foreign office and commonwealth affairs warning British citizen not to travel to Somaliland.

Hundreds of residents of berbera flocked to the main roads of the port city waving the flag of Somaliland and slogans demanding that the UK government should retract its decision of downgrading the security status of Somaliland to grade C hence being in the same status as neighboring Somalia.

The demonstrators later converged at the 26 of June stadium which is situated at the center of the city and were addressed by the mayor and governor of sahil region.

The Governor of Sahil Region lauded the people of Sahil for their zeal and unrelenting devotion when it comes to protecting the name of their nation; He went on to say Somaliland had accomplished much in the past 21 years and has taken many strides in the right direction be it in the fields of democracy, development, security, health and education.

“Somaliland has a good security record compared to many African countries not to mention that foreigners roam our streets freely without any security escorts and will continue to do so,i assure you all  Somaliland is also capable of maintaining its own security, “said the governor.

The Newly elected Mayor of Berbera told residents “let it be known that Somaliland is here to stay whether the English stay or leave, we are here to stay that’s for sure and I urge all Somaliland to safeguard our hard earned security and peace.

Many Somalilanders are upset by the UK government stance on with many terming it as rush and irrational.

            east london is full of half Jamican half darood kids with single mothers. I give it 10 years before daroods are extinct.

        • how come you don't say such things when one of secessionist punks, is calling for the destruction and death of other Somalis. May god help you, you stinking Hypocrite. Face it the your master has turned on you

  2. Somaliland is peace and stable and will remain peace and stable forever with the help of ALLAH regardless of what British or some sick Somalis may say. This will only make as vigilant and UNITED against anyone with evil intent or against any potential threat. Viva Somaliland!

    HOPE YOU ALLAH SHOWS YOU THE BATH OF DEEN ISLAM INCHA ALLAH.

    LETS VOTE

    WHO AGRRED WITH ME
    WHO DOESNT AGREED WITH ME

    • First, if you have trouble writing in English, write in Somali; second, you insult and denigrate the majority of Somalilanders (i.e. the Isaaq – who will always be the majority) , then run towards Allah, the religion of Islam and Aakhira…..Isay to people like, GO TO HELL!!!!

  5. Any white trash reading this don't you dare set foot in Northern somalia (Somaliland). This region remains the most dangerous place in the world far more danger then that of federally administered tribal areas of Pakistan. The continued presence of Al shabaab leader godane and Al Qaida in Burco is an imminent threat to white trash tourists. Al Shabaab's core leadership are predominantly from the Isaaq clans and are made up of veterans of the Ethiopian stooge (SNM) who have caused nothing but havoc and unrest in southern somalia. White trash tourists be warned be informed.

    • burger-land has failed. Garowe is still the toilet it was 40 years ago and now their women (daroods) are leaving those ugly skinny pirates for big strong JamaicaN and west African PENIS. sad sad sad.

      I think we should invade those two dusty toilets the daroods hold so dear and kill all their men and sell their women to the Congolese and the LRA in Uganda, we will make a decent money.

      • As much as you like to wish that on darood women, we all know the reality in East London. Go there, perhaps you might meet your half Jamaican or Nigerian cousins. Hahahahahahahaha

        • yes indeed, west london is very famous especially for your community as darood females go there on a holy journeyto seek out west african GUS

  6. Face palm at idio ts that think some how a travel warning based on actual intelligence is somehow going to bring down a whole country. Listen there was just intel that something was being planned by the extremists and they just wanted to make their nationals safe thats all.

    Calm down

  8. Folks, Berbera was the real history of the treaties between the British and the
    Somaliland protectorate during the colonial era and again now renews the old glories.
    I fully support the demonstrations.
    Cheers.

  9. kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Somaliland down. Somaliland down. Makes me happy to see this. British have abandoned their slave Somaliland kkkkkkkkkkkkkk

    Viva Somalia, down Somaliland, crazy Oodweyns

  11. LOL thats correct my uncle who works in PM office has informed that the guy who blow himself today was send my hersi gaab so we advice no westerners should enter northern Somalia until further notice & we urge the Puntland govt to evacuate its citizens from hargeysa.

    • Dozens of people are fleeing from somaliland in drones to Mogadishu and Garoowe because of the imminent threat from Godane so I take such threats from Godane very seriously. My children and my wife are my top priority whatever it takes their safety comes first.

    • little do you about the us Mr psychosis ,it is people like you who are in distress from dignity of Somaliland and I am going to make sure Somaliland becomes the king of international trade .watch how I play the game and learn .You can all try to stop Somaliland from begin member of U,N but you will lose ,for a grace nation like us wiil always stand against the unconscious minds of the south

  12. I think the reason is simple, uk wants to recognise Somalia like USA did. But they dont want an upset mob in somaliland to Kill or kidnapp british citizens and demand recognition.

    • Jama are you a british national or the victim of the United of the Kingdom. That has nothing to do with the US giving somalai recognition and they were ok with that in a way. They were upset that England added Somaliland on the list of places not travel, and the Uk was always against Somaliland and they are not to be trusted in Somalilands future and the hell with them who needs them.

  16. Tribalism marching against what they thought was their adopted father….booom maxaa raabtiin?? Boom boom Waxaan rabnaa aqoonsiiga Abaahi Ingiiriska…boom boom Gorma rabtiin? Imiika maanta!! Aaboow Aaaboow maxaa uu tidhi lama taagi karoo Jamuuriyada Garadagland????
