MOGADISHU (Sunatimes)- As two decaded ended for the endless war in the south of Somalia, a member of parliament has asked the Somaliland republic not to continue with its succession bid and instead reunite with the rest of the country and help in pacifying the southern Somalia.

Mowlid Ma’ane, one of the most vocal of the MPs in the Federal Somali Parliament has sent a request to the leader of the Somaliland administration, Ahmad Muhammad Silanyo, to work towards the unity of the Somali population.

"Ahmad Silanyo has been a good friend of mine for a long time and it would like to ask him to work towards the unity of the whole of Somalia and not the succession," he said.

He says southern Somalia region have been torn apart by conflict in the country and was praising the Somaliland administration for the way they managed to ensure security in regions under its control.

Nevertheless, he called upon Somaliland to assist in attainment of peace and security in southern Somalia regions.

"This is not the time that Somalia should be disintegrating into regions, its the time to get back other Somali regions and all efforts should be geared towards that particular goal instead of pursuing the session bid," Mowlid reiterated.

Somaliland, a northeastern enclave is yet to get international recognition, its leaders have however, vowed not to reunite with the rest of Somalia saying that southern Somalia regions attained their own independence four days before they did.
