Somaliland And Somalia At Large Have Been

First There Is The Search And Rescue Phase That Is Now Ending. It Is A Cruel Reality.

I Think Now Somalia Is Turning A Corner And We Can, With The New Political Development, Build On Momentum - Really Build A Peaceful Future.

In A World Full Of Competing Emergencies And Disasters, It Really Helps If There Is An International Locomotive That Can Help Us Bring Attention - Help Us Bring Resources.

Somaliland And Somalia At Large Have Been Receiving Now Hundreds Of Thousands Of Returnees That They Had To Accommodate With Very Small Resources.

Finally, I Also Come In Recognition Of The Great Work That Has Been Undertaken By The Ngos And Un Agencies That Have Been Active For Many Years Here, Especially Through The Local Staff And International Staff Here In Somaliland And In Somalia At Large.
