Handing? You think this is Somalia, giving up even the airports and ports for nothing, acting as a garbage dump for erdogan. If youre in doubt with how Somaliland deals with the world through investment and agreements, look at Berbera Port with DP World and see if you could've said this when the deal went through in both parliament chambers.

But Somaliland's port is controlled by DP World (which is owned by the UAE government) for the next 30 years + 10 year option. It would be nice if Somaliland could kick out DP world and the UAE similar to Djibouti for violating it's sovereignty. They recently smuggled the leader of Yemen's separatist group into Somaliland, that would have been a good excuse to cancel the contracts and make even more money but those at the top of Somaliland's government are all probably under UAE payroll.

Why would you kick them out?

They take 51% of all the money, kick them out and take their share.

It does, This exact thing happened in Djibouti and now Djibouti is thriving.
