Hargeisa(ANN)-Sixty-two years later, the Republic of Somaliland commemorates the historic anniversary of 26 June 1960, when Somaliland gained independence from the United Kingdom of (Great Britain.)
The Republic of Somaliland entered into a treaty with the colonial powers, which was to protect the country and its people, and the agreement that it was the historical treaty that did not allow colonialism. But was to protect the country’s people and sea, with the elderly and intellectuals signing strict conditions with the United Kingdom.
It is not possible for today’s political leaders to enter, such an agreement, given the depth of the terms of the agreement reached with the elders and intellectuals of Somaliland during the British Empire of 1884.
Unfortunately, the British grant to Somaliland independence was easily lost on June 26, 1960, when it was unconditionally transferred to Italian-occupied Somalia four days later.
A British newspaper at the time wrote an astonishing article on the issue, headlining the country that had rejected its independence, referring to Somaliland.
