During the video interview former Minister of Commerce and International Relations said: “Lack of recognition has negative impact on our ability of contribute much more to the horn of Africa region. As you know Somaliland is stable and democratic country for a long time. We have had democratic elections and transfer of power from one government to another government very peacefully. We have a vibrant civil society as well as a positive record of how we manage our development. We have a free public education to our people and these are a good example for Africa and our region,”
