Somalia, Somaliland and the United Kingdom

Ahmed M.I. Egal, a financial and business development consultant, wrote a highly critical piece on 12 July 2012 for Pambazuka News titled "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: The Somalia-Somaliland Talks and the British Co-Opted Roadmap."

The new administration will face many of the same challenges threatening the TFG, and some other generated by the roadmap process itself.
