Is @igadstvs a tool to disadvantage Somalilanders?

A Thread

IGAD Sheikh Technical Veterinary School and Reference Centre (ISTVS) gives opportunities rightfully belonging to #Somalilanders to students from Somalia under the guise of IGAD and “Somali”. 1/7

#No2integration
Somaliland government handed over the Sheikh Technical Veterinary School to IGAD under the supervision of the EU (3 million EUR project). This means the #Somaliland government knew the purpose of the transfer and what the school will be used for. 2/7
The project is implemented by Terra Nuova and under the auspices of African Union, Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources. According to Terra Nuova’s website, the school’s purpose is “leading Somalia becoming a world leader in the export of live animals”

3/7
The aforementioned vision is confirmed by the school’s intake from 2018 (no data available after 2018). Somaliland’s ministry for education @moe_somaliland is complicit or wilfully ignorant. I will let you decide which is it is. 4/7
The school’s twitter and Facebook pages state that its purpose is to “improve food security and livestock sector in the Somali Ecosystem” which shows the school was set up for expansionist ethno nationalist purposes and not for IGAD as per its vision. 5/7
IGAD’s anti Somaliland approach and influence on the school and the undermining of #Somaliland’s sovereignty was apparent when the school posted COVID-19 update in 2020 about the Horn of Africa and used a map which denied the existence of Somaliland. 6/7
To add insult to injury, University of Hargeisa signed Memorandum of Understanding with the school. This means as scholarships are open to all and free, someone who is not Somalilander will have the opportunity to get educated for free at expense of a deserving Somalilander. 7/7

Reasons why #Somaliland is not a secessionist.

A Thread

1/10. Many uninformed and staunch anti-Somaliland individuals use the term ‘secession’ without understanding the legality of the word. Does Somaliland’s Declaration of Independence fall within secessionist criteria? Image
2/10. From international law perspective, secession means unilateral declaration of independence without the consent of the parent state. Somalia is not the parent state in this matter as there was a illegal union with Italian Somalia to form what was known as the Somali Republic
3/10. Two equal entities united illegally (See my thread below explaining why the union was illegal), Therefore Somaliland has legitimacy and does not need a consent as there is no parent state. A recent example of secessionism will be South Ossetia seceding from Georgia.

The Jasiira massacre in Mogadishu on the 17th of July 1989 was part of the #IsaaqGenocide

A Thread

1/22. This witness statement came from the only survivor Omar Muse. It pays tribute to the 56 innocent lives lost that day to a state sponsored genocide. رحمهم الله

#Somaliland
2/22. Mr Muse said “It was the middle of the night when #Somalia’s army knocked on our door to identify people from S/land, especially people from the isaq tribe. They have threaten to break the door unless we open the door. The door was opened by a gentleman named A/risaq Aidid”
3/22. “I hid in a toilet whilst the army ransacked the house and woke everyone. I glanced to see what is going on and I made a noise which brought the attention of the army to myself. The army ordered me to come outside where they were holding all the household members”

The illegal union between British #Somaliland and Italian #Somalia.

A THREAD

1/12. A pan-Somali dream to step-over colonial borders separating the 5 Somali inhabited territories (Djibouti, NFD, Ogaden region) has brought Somaliland and Somalia together but was the union legal?
2/12. Protectorate Somaliland achieved its independence on June 26, 1960 and received international recognition from 35 countries such as #China, #Egypt, #Ethiopia, #France, #Ghana, #Israel, and #theSovietUnion. There were numerous congratulatory messages notably from #USA.
3/12. The independence of Somalia was guided by the Italian Trusteeship Administration. On April 1960, officials from protectorate Somaliland and trusteeship Somalia met to create the illusion of the so called ‘Somali’ dream and on July 1, 1960, joined to form the United Republic

#Somaliland and #Taiwan: The benefits

A THREAD

1/14. S/land and Taiwan have a lot in common such as both being a fully functioning democracies with volatile neighbours. Both are striving for international recognition and will not budge to threats or diplomatic pressure. Image
2/14. Somaliland brings a lot to the table. S/land’s strategic location in the Horn of Africa will give Taiwan a gateway into East Africa and beyond. Landlocked countries in Africa can benefit from this diplomatic move such as Ethiopia, South Sudan, and Uganda.
3/14. S/land will give Taiwan an important access to the Gulf of Berbera (Gulf Aden) where access to the Middle East, North Africa and the rest of the world can be established which will boost Taiwan’s export opportunities as well as a chance to make new friends in the region.
