The dream of the greater Somalia once misled us not again.

UIC was reletively moderate by any definition and their downfall was advocating greater somalia which alermed ethiopia which recently has chinese investment for odagenia oil reserves which was the british governments error for giving it to them in the first place.

Somaliland is gone from somalia 20 years ago, either recognised or will not change the unanimous decision of somalilanders.Remember the decision to breakaway from the union lies to somalilanders alone, because the power lies to somalilanders and not the leaders or ex somalian leaders who still dreaming of a great somalia.

I am told this conference is for ever Somali, I am from Hargeysa Somaliland and I am willing to particapte in the interest of the greater Somalia.

I believed once -the great Somalia but now its a dead-end lock, to force Somaliland to come under Somalia is a day-dream hope, as the Somalis themselves say their traditional proverbs "Awr kala guurtay uurar kala guurey baa ka xun".

Somaliland deserves recognition because they succeeded in saving their people while greater Somalia has been burning for the past 20 years.

What would a greater Somalia with such strategic location achieve or be like had there been stability?

As we all can see now, we can get back a great Somalia by encouraging regional autonomous adminsitrations such as Awdal State, Gal Mudug , SSC, Puntland and Somaliland.
