DP acts within the framework of the UAE' foreign policy objectives. And if the UAE is participating in the Eritrean-Ethiopian transportation projects, it doesn't bode well for Somaliland's aspirations. To me it looks like MBZ is treating Somaliland as the Yemeni Socotra island solely aiming at preventing other players setting a foot in the area.. And there is also the Chinese pressure to nix the Berbera port project.

But, geopolitically Ethiopia is not a top dog in Eritrea and Djibouti. Due to Somaliland's unrecognized status and Somalia's political weakness, Ethiopia has more sway in exerting control over the long-term port operation in Berbera.

If the Berbera port development is indeed stalled, Biixi should turn to the Turks.

It might be a blessing in disguise for Somali people's future as it will facilitate reconciliation between Somaliland and Somalia.
Berbera will stay poor 100years to come

You zoomed in on another 30 km section with dirt all the way to burco, stop making misleading threads, this is your last warning, we don't want your god damn SL is going to be recognized or ghost village nonsense here. Stop taking a section of road and misleading ppl that it is 140 km, when it's not and can be measured online. You god damn fool, just stop it, ghost development stories are not welcome here
I sense nerve touched:russ:

Chill out dr the project is about to end soon. It should be encouragement to all somalis that sland is building 400km road by itself without the help of no one.

It's actually pretty interesting. When the deal was struck, they were facing pressure from Mogadishu. So to gain an ally, Somaliland willingly gave away the 19% to Ethiopia in exchange for them investing in the project. That never happened.

They were blindsided by peace. No one expected Eritrea and Ethiopia to patch things up. Abiy Ahmed and Farmajo are both centralists, they see eye to eye on this so it's no surprise that Abiy has not been as accommodating to Somaliland as previous Ethiopian leaders. For a 120 million dollar investment, UAE has prevented any further growth and monopolized on Somaliland's only tangible asset, a predicament Djibouti avoided.
 
It was attacked once under the leadership of Ceyrow, who was Hawiye. He was killed by a drone in 2009, then Godane (isaaq) took over. Ever since, he filled the top leadership of the Al-Qaeda affiliated group with Isaq. Look at the UN report


Abdullahi Saxiibow (Issaq): leader of a logistics/ transportation team based near Erigavo
Ali Macane (Issaq): from Burao, Somaliland; other details currently unknown

According to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the subject, President Bihi is concerned with the public perception that he is supporting Mayor of Hargeisa Mr. Abdirahman Mahmoud Aidid SOLTELCO’s bid for a second term. Sources add that the President will not support the mayor’s reelection bid and has grown weary of Mayor SOLTELCO’s frequent media appearances with officials from the Presidency and members of his cabinet.

Although Mayor SOLTELCO has not officially announced his candidacy for a seat in Hargeisa local council and the mayoral seat which is elected among the council members, he has made his intention known in previous interviews and to multiple people.

In addition, Hargeisa Mayor has been actively promising major new development projects for Hargeisa including a new four-lane road at the heart of the capital, the establishment of zip codes and addresses, and breaking ground on two new hospitals in Hargeisa. All projects are said to be a collaboration with the Presidency, the Ministry of Health Development, and other entities including the private company currently managing land records for Hargeisa Municipality – GEOSOL.


Mayor SOLTELCO even met with SWECO a Swedish firm that describes its core business as “plans and designs the sustainable communities and cities of the future. We do this by offering qualified services in the fields of consulting engineering, environmental technology, and architecture.”. The statement on the mayor’s Facebook page about the meeting with SWECO did not specify the reason for the meeting.


The four-lane road jointly announced by the mayor, his deputy, and Office of the President has completely stalled after only a few hundred meters were completed near the Ministry of Religious Affairs and the Taiwanese Representative Office in Hargeisa.

According to people briefed on the status of the new road project and why it was halted, the President’s office has halted the project due to the poor craftsmanship and management of what the local municipality has so far built and is seeking other contractors to complete the project without the involvement of the Mayor and the local government. Some prime candidates under consideration include a Chinese company that has been contracted to build the new presidency and the Road Development Agency.

Mr. Abdirahman Mahmoud Aidid SOLTELCO has been the mayor of Hargeisa since 2012 and despite dismissing criticism of his record as a mayor and claims to have completed hundreds of kilometers of roads in Hargeisa, most roads in Hargeisa are in poor condition although the public has, for the most part, contributes a large percent of the cost of road construction.

Efforts to reach officials from the Presidency and the Mayor’s office for comments have been unsuccessful.

So why is it so difficult to tell your subclan after Abdirahman Sacad, even if you dont know you could ask your older relatives. i amAbdirahman Sacad, and i can see you are sheegato

Walal, i said walahi that i am in the same family branch as abdirahman sacad.Plus, i cant say anything further than that because i already told people which qabil is my reer abtis.
 
Ina abti, at the end of the day they are both tuugs. There is going to be another sacad muuse or one of my abtiyos who are muuse bixii's "Yes" men as mayor. The city of Hargeisa is deeply neglected interms of garbage and rubbish lying around on the road. The question is where has the Hargeisa taxpayers money gone ?

Secondly, I was expecting muuse bixii to support the mayor of hargeisa for reelection because he is a qabilist.

That man should not be running my toilet let alone a city. He should be shot on the spot. I swear I would’ve shot head dead. Naclatulah.

I’ve been to Hargeisa in every 3 years and each time it turns into sewage when it rains.
