(1 of 2) Section 5 of S. 3861 was problematic. The accepted amendment eliminated provisions such as a partnership between the United States and Somaliland, the training of Somaliland's security forces by the United States, and many others that risk Somalia’s stability.
Our efforts to replace S.3861 - somaliland partnership act with an amendment that addressed the issues & wordings we found in S.3861 was successful. S.3861, as originally written, is dead. We thank the Senators that work with us to stop and replace S.3861.
