MOGADISHU - The breakaway region of Somaliland said it has no plans to discuss unity with Somalia, appearing to contradict Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni who said he would act as a"unification mediator" between the two governments.
"Any dialogue that transpires between Somaliland and Somalia will not discuss unification, but rather how the two previously united countries can move forward separately," Somaliland's government said in a statement late on Sunday. Some clan elders in disputed areas along Somaliland's border with Somalia's semi-autonomous Puntland state say they want to be part of Puntland rather than Somaliland.
Museveni's statement came a day after meeting Jama Musse Jama, a special envoy for Somaliland, in which he said"Somalia and Somaliland should do away with politics of identity if they want prosperity for their country".
