| | Somaliland Recognition: Why it won’t happen |
| | Mr.Abdi Halim Musa disingenuously argues that the decision to unite with Somalia was not “ratified” and therefore the act of union was invalid. | | | The elected government of Somaliland took the decision which was approved by the elected parliament. | | | It goes back to the early 1950s when some sections of the Isaaq clan in former British Somaliland opposed the raising of the S.Y.L flag at its office in Burco which led to the famous S.Y.L. verse: “Sanduluu ku iman saca faarsa tegey saddex maalintuu qado, sawaxaa ka dhigan safka haatan yidhi Soomaali aan diidno”. |
