Hargeisa Former Somaliland President Dahir Rayale Kahin arrived the Capital Hargeisa after a year long absence,his absence was seen odd given his admirable transfer of power after the June Elections which the main opposition party Kulmiye won in a land slide.
Mr Rayale is the head of the UDUB party and it is not clear if he still has political ambitions,however he received a huge welcome from his supporters.
Party operatives have complained about restrictions from the ruling Party which they believe are of animosity in nature.
Supporters of Rayale were restricted to the outside of the reception area,contrary to how the ruling party welcomes their officials.
Minister of Aviation Mahamud Hashi who was said to be the offical that gave the order to restrict UDUB supporters said they had security concerns in mind when they issued the order.
Mr Rayale spoke briefly with the media and thank his supporters in welcoming him in such a warm fashion,he also urged Somalilanders to work towards greater unity among them selves,in light of the political changes.
Mr Rayale is said to be anxious about the political situation in Somaliland,and diverted a much anticipated speech for an unspecified time.
