Hargeisa (Hornpost) The trip of the President of the Republic of Somaliland, Mr. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi (Irro), who carried out his political agenda at a high level, although he was facing diplomatic pressure from two other sides, Somalia and China.
Challenge: Tripartite
Somalia is angry about Somaliland’s efforts to have direct international relations. She made a strong effort to cancel the Somaliland President’s trip, using political campaigns and diplomats from Villa Somalia. Attempts were made to block the meetings of the President and to undermine the reputation of Somaliland.
China, which sees the relationship between Somaliland and Taiwan as a threat to its interests in the region, has secretly organized efforts to disrupt the influence of Somaliland. It was felt that the Beijing government requested not to accept the President of Somaliland, while Kenya was pressured to control its relations with Somaliland.
Somaliland, which consciously faced the situation, faced the challenge with respect and political strategy. Unpleased with the apparent pressure, she worked with her diplomatic colleagues and quietly secured important meetings with Kenyan leaders, parliamentarians, and cultural leaders.
Somaliland Technical Diplomacy in a Season:
President Irro won the tripartite challenge. Although there were attempts to disrupt it, he confirmed:
That the Somaliland office in Nairobi will continue to work, without being stopped or put down
That the leaders of Kenya received it officially and honorably, which proves that Somaliland is considered on the African diplomatic stage.
The plan of the Government of Somalia and China has been broken:
Somaliland has shown that it has the ability, patience, and diplomatic skills that cannot be underestimated.
The struggle in Africa today requires a government with clear vision, awareness skills, and leadership that can save it.
President Irro has become a good leader who has saved the day needed for diplomatic issues.
Somaliland’s trip to Nairobi has become a new example in Africa. a country that has not yet received full recognition, but is sharing international relations with a strong mind and principle.
Somaliland’s success in this challenge directly shows that there is no foreign power that can easily oppose the will of the people of Somaliland. Preventing each other did not mean stopping each other.
CONCLUSION:
Somaliland Will Be Recognized When Its Politics Reaches That High Level.
President Irro’s trip will be the new path of Somaliland diplomacy. It’s just the beginning.
The beginning of international realization, It is clear that the people of Somaliland and their leadership can challenge any foreign challenges, using wisdom, patience, and real diplomacy.
It was withdrawn from Nairobi that Somaliland is a country with political potential, and it was clear in Mogadishu and Beijing that Somaliland cannot be blocked from exploring African diplomacy.
Led by the diplomatic President Abdirahman Irro
