Somaliland Stands Firm Against Terrorism

The people of Somaliland stand firm against terrorism. Somaliland is strong enough to withstand the attacks of terrorism and defeat it with support of all the democratic nations of the world.

Somaliland´s struggle for sovereignty has seen the nation through many difficult times, and strength of its people will not allow an act of terrorism to deflect the country from its path to democracy, good governance and international recognition.

Not a single act of terrorism will bring about the desired goal by its practitioners, and the recent terrorist attacks in Hargeisa will only further strengthen the resolve of the people of Somaliland towards their stated goals of independence and security.

It is imperative that the people and government of Somaliland remain vigilant, for no terrorist can succeed without disharmony and instability.

Let us be assured that Somalilanders will maintain the peace and security in the country, and shall apprehend and bring to justice those who perpetrated the attacks in Hargeisa and pledge to continue on our path to democracy, good governance and international recognition.

It is paramount that the people and the government of Somaliland stand united against terrorism. Terrorism will not delay democracy, nor will its atrocities go unpunished.

Whilst we convey our condolences to those grieving for the victims of the attacks in Hargeisa, let us make sure to condemn this act of blatant terrorism and make it clear to the world that Somaliland stands firmly against terrorism and those who practice it.
