Horndiplomat-The President republic of Somaliland HE. Muse Biihi Abdi accuses Somalia prime minister Hassan Ali Khayre of announcing War against Somaliland, the president attends a ceremony of International Women’s Day that was held in the capital of Hargeisa.
On 2nd March, Somalia’s prime minister was rejected Berbera Port Deal among Somaliland, UAE and Ethiopia and said that it was illegal.
“On every historic deal whether a port or resources in anywhere of the country; is only responsible for the federal government and its approval by the parliament.So, I want to underline that we welcome to any company in the world which interests to invest our country” said Khayre.
Although the deal was signed as prime minister Khayre was in UAE; likely it seems Somalia’s Government not was able to stop or suspend that deal.
On Sunday the Dp General CEO Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem said in a TV interview in Dubai said the declaration by the Federal Government of Somalia as null and void the shareholding agreement with Ethiopia and Somaliland would not affect the implementation of the concession.
