The Minister of Foreign Affairs & International Cooperation, Dr. Saad Ali Shire who cut the ribbon for the official opening of the new office for Somaliland Diaspora Agency plus other improvements made in the landscape of the Ministry compound. Minister Shire pointed out the vital role of Somalilanders abroad and that they have for a long time remained resourceful contribution to the country’s rebuilding, reinstating, investing and economic development of the country; and that they should not be regarded as foreigners but as the citizens of Somaliland who only for certain circumstances immigrated to abroad and still connected to their homeland. “When it is said “Diaspora” we don’t mean foreigners but they are Somalilanders who only as circumstances we met, went abroad but remaining crucial resource to us. The Diaspora remits back home between $400-$500 million a year and more which even exceeds the income we receive from the livestock export and which constitutes over 50% of the household income particularly in the urban areas. About 70,000 people from the Diaspora come home each year and spend more during their stay. We have built this office to serve those 70,000 Diaspora and the more abroad,” said Dr. Saad Ali Shire, Minister of Foreign Affairs & International Cooperation.

It took us a while to implement it as the drought-resulted deduction of the budget in 25% and suspension of the purchases of vehicles and construction works by the Ministry of Finance. However, we asked for Najax Construction Company to build this office for the Agency with $30,000, and they too accepted to implement it with is amount and supplement from their side,” said Abdi Abdullahi Hersi, Chairman of Somaliland Diaspora Agency.
