Hargeisa (HOL) —The breakaway Republic Somaliland has issued a formal request to international donors, urging them to channel donations directly to it instead of through the Somali government. This appeal was articulated in a detailed letter from Somaliland's Ministry of Planning, led by Ahmed Mohamed Diriye (Toorno), Minister of Planning and National Development.


The letter emphasizes working directly with the Government of Somaliland in accordance with established international aid protocols. "We acknowledge and appreciate the ongoing support of our partners," he said, "and must underline the critical need for direct interaction through official channels, which is consistent with international guidelines on aid."

Minister Diriye's correspondence also stressed that international aid should remain neutral and not be influenced by political conflicts. It should focus on uplifting the well-being of all individuals, including vulnerable groups, irrespective of their political affiliations. Despite lacking formal diplomatic recognition, the letter points out that many states have successfully received aid through special arrangements.

Somalia-Somaliland: The Perils of Delaying New Talks | Crisis Group

Somalia and Somaliland have been at odds since the latter’s 1991 declaration of independence, which the former rejects. The dispute has cooled after heating up in 2018, but lingering tensions could threaten regional stability. To restart dialogue, the two sides should meet for technical talks.

After Somalia enacted legislation against DP World, Mogadishu and Hargeisa hardened their respective positions. Foreign aid delivery became a battleground. In June 2018, Mogadishu opposed a donors’ proposal to renew the Somaliland “special arrangement”, which came into force in 2013 and expired in 2016, and which permitted donors to bypass Mogadishu (the normal channel for delivering aid to the federal member states) and send assistance directly to Hargeisa. The Farmajo government expressed concern that “singling out an individual state or region for special arrangements could have serious impact on the efforts to deepen federalism and nation-building”. Western donors pushed back, arguing that Somaliland’s “special circumstances” merited a different approach. Hargeisa viewed Mogadishu’s opposition to formal renewal of the “special arrangement” as a hostile act.

Working with them directly and not through the government is essentially the same as recognizing the illegal entity in hargeisa, so absolutely not. Any UN body that attempts this should be declared persona non grata. The federal government can make sure each place in the north gets their money like awdal, khatumo, waqooyi galbeed, and toghdeer. If they gave it directly to them the awdal and khatumo wouldn’t see a penny.

Khatumo won't see a penny while occupied by wild militias and the rest is pure fantasy.

Khaatumo and Awdal admins doesn’t exist except in your tiny head. SL rules majority of the country and the tribal coalition of terrorists only speaks for empty Eastern Sool despite not having any semblance of an administration in that lawless part of Sool.

The intl community aren’t morons and have intelligence agencies that give them a good picture of what’s going on. Eastern Sool/Jabarti Twitter propaganda won’t sway the West. Also what makes you think money won’t be stolen in Xamar? Nigga really thinks holy men work for the Somalian govt in Xamar, half the admin there is on Shabaab payroll.

Grassroots movement of governance is beginning there, you think hargeisa became competent overnight? They had to secure their areas first, day by day sool hires new doctors, soldiers, experts, and builders for the purpose of state building. UN and these other aid agencies speak to khatumo to learn the reality on the ground, if they took your word for it laascanood would be in anarchy.

You are the master of creating fallacies, I merely made a statement, on more than one Occassion might I add. Yet you can’t seem to answer my question, are you not from an independent country, if that’s the case why compromise your “sovereignty and territorial integrity” by accepting aid, foreign investment, etc from the very country you calm not to be apart of. You and I both know the answer to that, but your to stubborn to accept the truth.

The answer is really simple.

The money from foreign donors is meant for all people and territorities constituting the country formerly known as Somalia. This would include the territorities and inhabitants of the independent of the Republic of Somaliland.

Somaliland has never taken money routed through Mogadishu except on one occassion in 2022. Otherwise, Somaliland has left what is its rightful share of that money on the table for many years now.

Now sovereignty and foreign aid is an interesting mix. Does foreign aid confer sovereignty if it's routed through certain jurisdictions first or is just a smoke screen and pale illusion of sovereignty. I will cover this topic in the next newsletter for the Movement to Balkanize Somalia. The topic is specifically - the sovereignty gap.
