But Egal does not go unpunished. His critics call him an explosive and armed opposition sees him as a dictator and even an alcoholic, an unmistakable criticism in an Islamic country.

EGAL WRITES TO RABIN
In this regard my government has a number of
priority areas where your Excellency’s assistance is pivotal to the people
of Somaliland, among these are: First, military equipment and counter
insurgency experts. Second, conducting plebiscite on the issue of
independence at the end of next year 1996 or early 1997. Third, relief and
rehabilitation aid as well as development advisers, petroleum and mineral
exploitation expertise. The people of Somaliland have full confidence in
their government and are absolutely behind me in this historic decision of
establishing strategic partnership with the state of Israel and I am
determined to see it come into fruition.
Shalom,
I have the honour to remain,
Your Obedient Servant
