According to the article by Dr. Ali Bahar, President Silanyo knows that his days in power are very limited and he wants to leave a legacy behind; bringing back into the fold all the sons and daughters of former Somaliland protectorate, provide them with equitable power sharing system, and let them design their future.
This could be a game changer in the region. President Silanyo is seizing that opportunity, and the leader of Khatumo Dr. Ali Galaydh and his followers are smart enough to realize this opportune moment. Something has to give, and Silanyo feels he can convince his tribesmen to bend to this idea… a trade off for peace.
