For the first time since their establishment, delegates from the breakaway Somaliland and the neighbouring self declared regional State Khatumo are holding talks in Eynabo town.
According to reliable sources, Khatumo ministers for information and internal security, Ahmed Haji Ali and Ahmed Kayse Abdi respectively are attending the meeting, while Somaliland is represented by Somaliland’s minister rehabilitation, Saeed Raygal and other delegates.
In March this year, Tension has mounted in the region after the breakaway region of Somaliland deployed hundreds of troops and battle wagons outside Buhodle town controlled by Khatumo regional state.
Somaliland which had declared a unilateral independence from the rest of Somalia in 1991 aims to consolidate territory as parts of decades-old struggle which aims to attract the international community’s attention in the hope of securing an international recognition.
Somaliland considers Somalia as a barrier standing in its way of winning an international recognition.
