Good morning. This is Dr. Von Batten.
For over a year, this firm has not engaged on matters relating to
#Somaliland. Nevertheless, certain pro-Somaliland advocates remain bitter and have, in recent days, sought my attention. They now have it.
Beginning tomorrow, this firm will formally engage our partners in Congress and the
@realDonaldTrump Administration to oppose H.R. 7993, which seeks to grant Somaliland access to the United States financial system, and H.R. 3992, the Republic of Somaliland Independence Act, which seeks to undermine the territorial integrity of
@Somalia. Moving forward, we will also review all new congressional legislation containing possible pro-Somaliland provisions and advocate for their removal.
I call on all
#Somalis in the United States to stand firm in defense of their homeland. Conduct yourselves with discipline and dignity, remain unwavering in that commitment, and use every legal means available to defend your heritage against those who seek to undermine the sovereignty of an African nation.
