"Mr President, I would like to thank Mr Deva for what he said. In fact I could speak for half an hour on Somaliland as I am leading the campaign for re-recognition of the former British protectorate of Somaliland. French Somalia became Djibouti without any problem. Somaliland unfortunately joined the south, having been recognised as an independent state for one week in 1960 in a very unhappy marriage with the Italian Somalia, and it resulted in a civil war in 1991 when Siad Barreās government fell.
There is a campaign led by people in the House of Commons in the United Kingdom, which of course as the former colonial power has a prime responsibility, for re-recognition of Somaliland as an independent state. I hope that this can come to fruition one day."@en1
