How Northern Frontier District was carved out: (NFD-Kenya)

- During the Middle Ages, Kismayo and the surrounding area known as Jubaland were part of the Ajuran Empire, a Somali sultanate that ruled over large parts of the Horn of Africa and dominated trade in the Indian Ocean. The Ajuran Empire had a strong, centralised administration and aggressive military strategy, which enabled it to resist an Oromo invasion from the west and a Portuguese incursion from the east during the Gaal Madow and the Ajuran-Portuguese wars.

Trading routes dating from the ancient and early medieval periods of Somali maritime enterprise were strengthened or re-established, and foreign trade and commerce in the coastal provinces flourished with ships sailing to and from many kingdoms and empires in East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe, Middle East, North Africa and East Africa.

Somaliland and Mombasa seek economic opportunities

- Mombasa County government and Somaliland are seeking collaboration to explore the potential of Mombasa and Berbera ports. Governor Hassan Joho and Somaliland's envoy to Kenya Bashe Awil Omar, during a meeting, discussed harnessing the strengths of the two ports. Plans are on course for the expansion of Berbera Port to provide an alternative shipping and trading hub in the Horn of Africa after securing a $442 million (Sh44bn) deal with Dubai-based development firm DP World.

"Our goal is to see the two ports work together to enhance trade ties, improve their capacity and share areas where we can both benefit. I am so happy to hear about the planned expansion of the port of Berbera. This is good for the region and it will definitely spur trade along the East African coastline," Mr Joho said at his office.

Somaliland government decision registering government owned property has gained cheerful reception from Somaliland public

- Across the world, the reputation of every government is important as good reputation is more valuable than money.   In this regard, Somaliland government has reacted positively the public demand with regard the government owned property registration. Over the last few months, Somaliland government has successive steps intended returning  Somaliland strategic assets to public  ownership. 

Not long ago, Somaliland president Muse Abdi has taken heroic steps correcting the mismanagement involved by former government with regards Somaliland strategic interest assets. The president transferred to public ownership many assets the former government awarded to their preferred contracts which was illegal and served the interest of individual pockets. 

"A love letter to Columbia": Fahima Ali (A Somalilander)

- I started speaking English seven years ago, and the fact that I am in classes with the most intelligent people in the world is something that I do not take for granted. I wake up happy every morning knowing I have found a home at Columbia. 

I am the happiest I’ve ever been at Columbia. 

I came to the United States for high school from Somaliland, an often unrecognized country in East Africa. In Somaliland, it is very challenging to receive an education, especially for girls. Girls are second-class citizens—they are expected to do domestic work instead of going to school. Despite this, I have always loved school and have never let anything get in between me and my studies.

Kenya – Somaliland improved relations to boost investor confidence

- Already there is a Somaliland liaison office in Nairobi but efforts are being made by the two countries to improve the ties for Kenya to recognize the sovereignty of Somaliland which broke away from Somalia over three decades ago. Somaliland appointed Bashe Awil Omer a fortnight ago as its new envoy to Kenya as it aims to cement the growing relations between the two countries.

Somaliland, which has claimed autonomy from the main Somalia government, is on a mission to initiate relationships with regional states as it pushes for recognition at the African Union and the United Nations.

We will also work on improving security in the region and empower the hundreds of thousands of youth to invest or further their education," Mr Omar, the former ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, said on Wednesday.

With a liaison office already set up in Kenya, Mr Omar said he plans to meet Kenyan government officials to explore opportunities for the benefit of citizens.
