My night with the Somaliland community in London!

I was recently invited to speak at an event for the UK's Somaliland community in Ealing, West London. Some of the world's most famous and important Somalilanders were there, including guest-of-honour Dr Essa Kayd, the current Somaliland Foreign Minister. Also in attendance were former UK Education Secretary Gavin Williamson, famous Somaliland singers Nimco Yaasiin & Nuur Daalacay, and former Somaliland Foreign Minister Edna Adan (known as the "Mother of Somaliland").
