Please correct the he error in your article. Somaliland is not Somalia, they are two different countries. There was not any Kenyan plans shot down in Somaliland territory. However, there were Kenyan register planes who were shot down in the lawless Somalia.
I can not phantom why Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti will stand up against the warlords of Moqdisho and support Somaliland’s rightful self determination. They are fully aware that the start with the five pointing edge is stands for the union of all Somali people in Somalia, Somaliland, Northern frontier Districts of Kenya, Eastern regional of Ethiopian and The Somali inhabitant region of Djibouti. For Kenyans, it’s into their best interest, peace and secure country where their nationals can conduct business transactions; and Somaliland needs to be smarter to achieve Their interest and doing give away easily any bargaining Token. It is first step hopefully into a fruitful relationship between the two African countries.

I can not phantom why Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti won’t stand up against the warlords of Moqdisho and support Somaliland’s rightful self determination. They are fully aware that the flag of Somalia with the five pointing edge star is standing for the union of all Somali people: Those live in Somalia, Somaliland, Northern frontier Districts of Kenya, Eastern regional of Ethiopian and The Somali inhabitant region of Djibouti. For Kenyans, it’s into their best interest, to have a good relationship with a peaceful and secure country where their nationals can conduct business transactions; and Somaliland needs to be smarter to achieve their interest and don’t give away easily any bargaining tokens; they should know their final object and bargain harder to get. This is first step hopefully into a fruitful relationship between the two African countries.
