Somalilands Mandela Thanks to our own “Nelson
Mandela” Mr Ahmed Mohamed Siilayaano

13
June 2009 was the day Silanyo gave a speech to S omalilanders in
Sw eden, and here in Stockholm.
Before he held his speech, there were some people in the audience
that delivered some emotional and touc hing speeches in front of the
Chairman, Mr. Silyaano.
But the speech that touched my heart was when Amina Weris held a
short speech about the status of women
in Somaliland and how they struggle both outside and inside the
home.W hat she said was that they are the ones that providing the
economy and nourishment for the children of the family. At the same
time they are t he backbone and the support and especially the
assistance given by the Somaliland women in the Diaspora.
But she said their efforts and work are underestimated and sometimes
not appreciated.
That speech from Amina Weris almost made me fall in tears because it
e xplains how strong were our mothers and sisters through all these
dif ficulties and constraints and how they struggles to survive
under these harsh conditions.
Thanks to Amina Weris, for her great speech as many of us (women in
the Diaspora) are eager to hear more about plight and life
conditions of Somaliland women.
They were the audience who all of a sudden gathered in the Hall and
lis tened to the speech of the Chairman of Kulmiye Party. He spoke a
lot ab out the struggle and history of liberation of
Somaliland and what had be en achieved for the last 20 years.
It was a great mans speech. I tried to see and analyse how his
speech touched his audience. It had a great im pact on them
when it comes to emotions and expressions of the peopl e in
the Hall.
Mr Ahmed Mahamed Siilaanyo explained in details the problems facing
t he nation today; both economical as socially and how the current
weak government functions today. The Chairman emphasized how it is
essent ial to make a change in Somaliland in order to build a bright
future for yo unger generations.
I believe that we need a change for the sake of our needy people.We
h ave to cooperate and unite our resources both inside and outside
the country. I deeply believe a change of the system.
