Press release: Lascanoders Abroad warns of increased Siadist activity in the wake of Riyaale US visit


Following the preannouncement of President Riyaale incoming visit in the Unites States, Lascanoders Abroad has learned, through some of its members, that Anti-Somaliland groups in the US began to mobilize. Indeed, two members of Lascanoders Abroad respectively based in Columbus , Ohio and Minneapolis , Minnesota , have been contacted by telephone and asked to join early preparations for Anti Somaliland rally to be held in the US . Although Siadists groups do not know the exact itinerary of President Riyaale, it appears, following our sources, that a massive Anti Somaliland protest is tentatively planned for Saturday January, 5th, 2008 in Washington DC . Transportations have already been arranged for Columbus and Minneapolis areas protesters.
Siadist groups are on their last throat and desperate to thwart the Somaliland increasingly successful march to recognition. They understand better that anyone the significance of next week visit, the first time a Somaliland official has been invited by US officials. They also understand and fear the possibility for the US to act unilaterally. Already, Siadist groups are sending petitions to Deputy Assistant Secretary, James Swan (the man in charge of Horn Africa inside the State Department Bureau of African Affairs)

Lascanoders Abroad call on all fellow Somalilanders, especially those living in Virginia and Maryland , to start planning for counter demonstrations in Washington , DC . Fellow Somalilanders, recognition is within grasp and it is time to ask yourself what you can do towards this noble goal.


For Lascanoders Abroad,
