It was delayed due to the drought.
That was last year (2016). 2015 elections were delayed for no good reason.
It was delayed due to the drought.
Well, I heard it's scheduled in a few months time.
It is but it is too late the damage to Somaliland credibility in the international stage is already done. Here is the amount of times the elections have been delayed.
1. 2015 June elections (original date) - Delayed
2. 2016 - June elections (second date) - Delayed
3. 2017 - March elections (third date) - Delayed
4. 2017 - November elections (fourth date) ?
2 and 3 for good reason. And 3 hasn't happened yet, have a little faith.
I am pretty sure there's a warrant out there in Hargeisa for duke
It actually happened. The elections were scheduled to happen in early 2017 but because of the drought it was extended to November.
So November is the fourth time.
I meant *4th, as in the fourth time hasn't happened.
Anyway, we'll see.
Indeed we will see inshallah. Do you think Sland credibility in the international stage will ever come back?
I never trusted all their competing interests in Sland to begin with. So I'm not too bothered if they rate it or not.
But yes, to answer your question, where there's resources the IC's support is never far behind
This is why Landers are bad at politics. You should care about how international politics
influences Somaliland. Case in point you see right in this thread the damage Saudi Arabia
banning the livestock did to Somaliland economy.
There should be a balance. Appeasing international politicians is partly why the South is the way it is today. With AMISOM and secret bases running amok, same in Djibouti, well over there it's no secret. It's also why Johnson felt he could talk down to Farmaajo when he asked about the arms deal. They only respect you as long as you are useful and serve their interests.
The south is a totally different case you should compare Sland to Pland. You raised some valid
points but remember at the end of the day it is Somaliland that needs the international community
not the other way around. Unless you want us to go the Eritrea route then don't advocate for
unrealistic things. Somaliland can't even pay for its own elections and depends on the IC plus
it wants recognition from them.
They do have clear goals that are apparent to every Somali and increasingly more and more non-Somalis alike. Not that, that even matters but the point is still there. There's no denial or pretending, have you asked yourself why the IC isn't bothering them. Maybe they're in line
Somaliland benefits a lot, for one its not doing too bad. It is completely self-governing, not perfectly but INDEPENDTLY of the south. Rumour has it Pland wants to the same, I don't really see them sharing much with their southern brothers anyway

Unrealistic goals is what it is awoowe. Somaliland is now 27 years and there is no sign of "recognition" , it
is time you woke up and smelled the coffee. You will be my first convert to realism. Somaliland
can be a autonmous region in Somalia like it is now, but that is where the bucket ends and anyone
sane shouldn't expect recognition anytime soon.
