Somaliland government feels the statements made by the Secretary
General Ban Ki Moon to the United Nations Security Council regarding
the security situation of Somaliland to be ill-informed and unfortunate
misinformation. The Secretary General's comments that UN staff could
not travel to Somaliland is wide off the mark and misrepresentation
of the security situation in Somaliland. The UN Secretary General
failed to mention that his special UN representative to Somaliland
and Somalia was recently in Somaliland and UN and other NGO staff
regularly travel within the borders of Somaliland due to the stable
security situation in Somaliland.

Minister's Statement
"I am delighted that the Foreign Ministers of the African Union meeting
in Addis Ababa have discussed the issue of Somaliland. "At a time
when African and international governments are preoccupied with stabilising
southern Somalia, getting the Somaliland issue discussed is a big
achievement and a reward for Somaliland's patient and persistent diplomacy.
"Somaliland's desire for international recognition of its independence
will not go away. The government and people of Somaliland will continue
to press for recognition for as long as it takes. "Somaliland's case
is unique in Africa because Somaliland was a separate colonial entity
from Somalia and was recognised previously as an independent state
in 1960 before it joined in a disastrous union with Somalia. "Somaliland
wishes good relations with Somalia and to see Somalia a stable and
peaceful neighbour. We are ready to share our experience of national
reconciliation, state building and the creation of a successful democracy
and to assist in stabilising the south in any way we can. "The Government
of Somaliland is grateful for all the support it has received at and
in the run-up to this Summit from numerous states in East, Central,
Southern and West Africa. I am particularly grateful to the Government
of Rwanda for raising the Somaliland issue at the Executive Committee,
to the AU Commission for its unfailing attention to the Somaliland
issue and to the Government of Ethiopia for its support and for our
warm bilateral relations. "I am also grateful for the productive discussions
I have held with the British and Norwegian Ministers at the Summit.
"It is still not too late for the African Union to take a decision
to become seized of the Somaliland issue at this Summit. I appeal
to Heads of Government meeting on 29 and 30 January to recognise that
it is in the interests of peace, stability and development in the
Horn of Africa to consolidate the stability Somaliland has achieved.
And I call on the TFG to focus on stabilising the still difficult
situation in the south rather than opposing the reality that is Somaliland's
independent status."
