Somalilandsun: The insinuations of Somaliland rejoining a federated Somalia proliferated by Conflict Dynamics International-CDI are set to misguide the donor community as a prelude to continued funding.
The CDI allusion to a rejuvenated federal Somalia with Somaliland as an active partner member were made through a briefing paper titled Cultivating Consensus – Exploring Options for Political Accommodation and Promoting All Somalis Voices that has received a scathing critique from Mohamed Ahmed Mohamoud and Mohamed Abdilahi Duale.
