Dear all,

Marco Perduca, senator of the Italian Senate, and I are great friends of Somaliland and have followed the political development in your country closely for many years. Somaliland's government has created stability and democratic governance when Somalia has remained in armed conflict. However, Somaliland's gains are currently under threat and we advice all stakeholders to work together in order to save democratic rule in Somaliland.

Attached you find an open letter from Mr. Perduca and me concerning the situation in Somaliland. Please don’t hesitate to contact us. We who embrace the success Somaliland already has achieved, wish you all the best for the coming elections.

Yours Sincerely,

Birgitta Ohlsson
Member of the Swedish Parliament and Spokesperson Foreign Affairs, Liberal Party birgitta.ohlsson@riksdagen.se
