London (SD) – On Sunday Somaliland’s minister of information confirmed to the media that registration of new political associations are open, the opposition parties Wadani and UCID rejected the notion and insisted that the Government hold the Guurti and the presidential elections first. The registration of new political parties were set for December 20, 2022, a month after the presidential elections.

To discuss the issues we contacted Said Dirie, one of the cofounders of Somaliland peoples Party, I began by asking his reaction to the brawl at the House of Representatives and the message it sent to the world.
