Regardless of whether or not Somaliland "deserves" independence, the simple fact of the matter is that Somaliland has been its own country for decades and that Somalia is in no position to re-exert control over it (or anywhere for that matter). Recognizing Somaliland acknowledges the reality of the situation and provides a somewhat stable diplomatic partner in the region.
Yet you don’t support eastern Ukraine getting recognition even though majority of the people in that region wants that. Typical hypocrisy of western sons of colonisers.
So? And Georgia has no way of asserting control over Abkhazia and South Ossetia, that doesn't mean they should be recognized.

@@divinechariot5542 Recognizing Abkhazia and South Ossetia wouldn't provide stable diplomatic partners in an unstable region of the world.

@keifer7813Tribal politics undoubtedly dominate Somali and Somalilander politics, but at least Somaliland's institutions are stable and respectable. It would he appreciated if you could link evidence for 'massacres' in Las Anod. Regardless, considering the delicate history of Sonaliland with the Hargeisa Holocaust, it is understandable that the Isaaq majority may wish to maintain self-rule. Furthermore, it can be easily deduced that the Dhulbahante clan are exploited by the Somali gov. to destabilize Somaliland. I don't understand what justifies the animosity towards Somaliland.
So do you support eastern Ukraine getting sovereignty to rule themselves as a sovereign nation? Or do you only like African, Asian and South American countries to break up?
you guys have 0 idea what your talking about. As a somalian myself from the somaliland region if somaliland gain recognition there will literally be instant civil war in somaliland itself.... HALF of somaliland doesnt want to break off with somalia there literally was a minor war in somaliland recently over the main clan that controls somaliland (issaq) vs the other minor tribes which banded up to form a collision against somaliland(SSC khatomo) somaliland will literally devolve into chaos if it is given recognition. you might be wondering why does half of somaliland not want to be part of somaliland? Somaliland's borders are based off the british colony and is not a real border which distinguishes people. The SSC regions are closer to puntland than to the rest of somaliland and they do not want to be separated from somalia. somaliland isnt a "beacon of stability" in the east african region they're really just lucky that they are far away from the rebels and terrorist in the south. In fact the same level of "stability" is found in the other northern region of puntland which is right next to Somaliland. and even at that the south has become wayyy more stable in recent years due to the terrorist group al shabbab losing most of there territory there basically a dead group at this point. this is a turning point for somalia and it can become more stable it this plan doesnt go through.
Liar Somaliland is a country that has always existed. I am a Somaliland man. Somaliland's identity is returning. .

No other country deserves independence as much as Somaliland. They were independent before Somalia, mistakenly joined Somalia and got genocide in return under Said Barre.

@@zakzak7323 No, I’m saying that because since the early 90s, Somaliland has been a relatively safe and stable country. Unlike the rest of us, they’ve have transferred power between multiple governments in a free and democratic way.

This is not about Ethiopia or Somalia, they’re doing this on their own. Kudos!

Somaliland is not a new country Somaliland was a british protectorate that became the 17th African country to be granted full independence on June 26, 1960, but within days it was annexed by Somalia. However, after years of occupation marked by persecution and genocide, Somaliland reclaimed its sovereignty on May 18, 1991 based on its original boundaries at the time of independence.
@fatimahabdul4329 it joined somaila voluntary like girl it got independence first and the other second.And many other clans suffered under barre not only issaq
Yeah, there are risks of inspiring other less well thought out and stable regions to do the same thing, but I don't see why that should be used to deny Somaliland statehood. Its just a challenge that has to be worked though. My biggest concern is that if the UK, US, EU, UAE ect are only interested in recognising Somaliland as a strategic position, to set up military bases ect, that that is a bad idea on the Wests part. Heavy American presence isnt always in the best interest of the regions. That being said, Somaliland wholeheartedly deserve their independence. They just have to be careful to not sign away too much autonomy in an effort to gain recognition.
They have committed massacres against minority groups who disagree with their secession and don't want to be part of Somaliland. There have also been reports of political intimidation and kidnappings of those who criticise their government - like many other authoritarian regimes who feign democracy

I doubt that it has to do with anything besides the fact that she's biased towards Somalia due to her father being Majeerteen. Had her father been born a few miles west though, she'd certainly be in favor of Somaliland. It's pretty disappointing how petty it all is, including Trump in favor of Somaliland just to "own the libs", and not for any serious reasons.
Somaliland took FULL independence from Great Britain on June 26, 1960. The union between Somaliland and Somalia was unsuccessful under the name of Somali Republic. It has a legal case to exist separately from Somalia. USA must recognize Somaliland and make a military & naval base, in Berbera, Somaliland ,as soon as possible. This will encourage Ethiopia to take a similar decision to get access to nearby sea at the Gulf of Aden.
The reason we haven’t is because the members of the African Union have agreed that African boarders should not change due to the risk of broad ethno-nationalistic violence. Somalia is a member of the African Union, and Somaliland has petitioned to become a member.

Personally I think Somaliland getting recognized is a great thing. I constantly hear how Africa is in a bad state because of the remanants of colonialism, drawing general borders without any consideration about the ethnic makeup of those areas. The recognition of Somaliland would be a step in the direction of fixing those arbitrary borders. If it succeeds (which is likely considering they've been basically autonomous for years now) it shows that this is the way to fix these problems. If it fails it at least dispels the mith that borders where the real issue why Africa is stuck in the past. Also let's remember that Egypt is now trying to use Somaliland as a kudgel to beat Ethyopia with in the discussion of water rights. Removing it from the equation will force Egypt to stop treating the Nile as if it was it's personal property despite them holding only a small part of its tail end.

Two corrections: 1) Somaliland's borders are indeed the same colonial borders that were there when both British Somaliland and Italian Somaliland gained independence in 1960. In other words, this isn't a case of changing colonial borders at all and TLDR should've done a better job clarifying this point. 2) Egypt is trying to use SOMALIA, not Somaliland, as a kudgel against Ethiopia. Somaliland is aligned with Ethiopia.
I am a Somaliland citizen. My country has been independent for 34 years and has a fully functioning government with its own constitution, executive branch, legislative council, and judiciary, as well as a council of elders. We also have defined borders. Our country is strategically located, as can be seen on the map, and we have the potential to establish significant partnerships with major global powers, particularly Western nations. We deserve international recognition.
Yes. Allahumabarik!!! You explained it perfectly well walalo. Somaliland has been independent.

To be honest, somaliland recognition will have a ripple effect in the horn of africa. And more states will fight for own ethnic countries independence. Which is good thing. Africa in general is a mess
They massacred many loyalists in Las Anod who opposed secession and yet they claim their "nation" is democratic? 😂 It's absurd to still hold eternal grudges against southern Somalis over Siad Barre’s actions especially when his regime harmed many south Somalis in the country. Somalis need to unite and move beyond qabyalaad (tribalism) which only divides and weakens us. Unity is the key to a stronger and a peaceful Somaliya.

The people of the republic of Somaliland regained their freedom not independence in 1991 as Somaliland is a de jure country that gained its independence on June 26 1960 as the first East African country to do so. The government of the republic of Somalia and Mogadiscio control over Somaliland was never “de jure” or legal. The union was never ratified, the constitution was rigged by the Italians who not only were the ones that wrote it but certified the referendum of 1961. The coup of 1969 only solidified the reality that Somaliland was under occupation There was always feeling of disenchantment that would lead to the 1961 attempt by the Somaliland camel corps, the occasional riots and the demand for freedom was consistent.
This is paid propaganda driven by foreign interests, not by the people of Somaliland or Somalia. Somaliland is recognized as a federal state of Somalia, and this propaganda seeks to separate Somaliland from Somalia due to its strategic location.

The last time the Americans tried to violate Somalia's sovereignty it was not good and the Americans will never learn from their past failed wars in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Somalia.
Somaliland remains internationally recognized as part of Somalia, and no foreign power, including the United States under Trump or any other leader, can change that. Recognizing a clan-based state with an estimated population of 1.5 million or less undermines Somalia's sovereignty, which is protected by international law. Somalia's territorial integrity and unity are non-negotiable, and no country has the authority to violate it. If you think such a wish could become reality, it's nothing more than a dream. Trump couldn’t even solve domestic issues like homelessness, let alone challenge Somalia’s sovereignty or violate international law.
Please note; Correction, Somaliland population in 1901 were 153,018. The population of Somaliland (Hargeisa) in the 1950 was estimated at 650,000. One year before the independence of Somaliland, the British government took a population census for the last time I believe it was Feb-July 1959, and the result was 825,651. While the Somali population in Somalia (Mogadishu) in 1955 was estimated at 1,300,032, including 175,000 Italians. After the independence (Somaliland & Somalia) the Somali Republic population was estimated at 1,950,651. thank you
You are going through the bush with out having compus.

I think that if you create a western style democracy all on your own. Without any major backing. You deserve your spot at the table of the western block.
After 30 years of independence, and a fully functional, separate government, it is no longer part of Somalia. It is Somaliland. Grown adults have been born and lived their entire lives in this country, and its possible that this is almost two generations.
That alone is a high enough bar that will make it next to impossible for most potential secessionist movements to clear. That, in addition to the fact that Somaliland's borders are the same colonial borders that were there when both British Somaliland and Italian Somaliland gained independence in 1960. In other words, this isn't a case of changing colonial borders at all and TLDR should've done a better job clarifying this point.
It is delightful that I take pride in the peaceful and successful election held in Somaliland! It is important to be proud of my country’s progress and democratic system, as it demonstrates that Somaliland fully deserves international recognition.

Don't, because many people will die. Somaliland has 6 clans and only one clan wants independence, while others were treated badly.
That one clan killed people for a land they don't own. They want independence for lands they don't own.

If ilhan Omar is opposed, I'm in favour!!!!!!
Somalia is one. And Ilhan Omar is very strong. Wake up hate groups.

Ofcourse ilhan omar is opposed to somaliland recognition. She influenced democrats congress members to block any bill that suggest u.s somaliland cooperation plus her dad was part of the somalia's forces that waged a genocide in somaliland killing 200,000 plus
Ihan Omar is from a region in Somali full of privates and genocide generals
Regardless of whether or not Somaliland "deserves" independence, the simple fact of the matter is that Somaliland has been its own country for decades and that Somalia is in no position to re-exert control over it (or anywhere for that matter). Recognizing Somaliland acknowledges the reality of the situation and provides a somewhat stable diplomatic partner in the region.
Yet you don’t support eastern Ukraine getting recognition even though majority of the people in that region wants that. Typical hypocrisy of western sons of colonisers.
So? And Georgia has no way of asserting control over Abkhazia and South Ossetia, that doesn't mean they should be recognized. Its not right to recognize seperatist territories of other countries without permission of the country itself otherwise countries will start recognizing seperatist movements left and right
@@divinechariot5542 So I guess nobody should recognize the CCP as an independant nation then?
@@divinechariot5542 Recognizing Abkhazia and South Ossetia wouldn't provide stable diplomatic partners in an unstable region of the world. Abkhazia and South Ossetia suffer from plenty of internal issues of their own and the Georgian government is functional enough to partner with. Somalia doesn't have functional government to partner with and Somaliland provides that stability.
@@PatriotMapper Somaliland also suffers from major internal issues as well and the region they are in, the Horn of Africa, is far more unstable the the Caucasus. Somalia although not as functional will become an important partner in the future.
I would 100% support the UK and other European states pushing for Somaliland being recognised. They have proven themselves more than enough
How so?
@keifer7813 By having effectively self-governed in the absence of any real governance from Mogadishu.
@@momon969 Does that include the political intimidation and kidnapping of dissidents that don't toe the party lines of the majority Isaaq clan? Or the massacres of the ONGOING WAR on regions that refuse to be part of Somaliland's secession?
@keifer7813Tribal politics undoubtedly dominate Somali and Somalilander politics, but at least Somaliland's institutions are stable and respectable. It would he appreciated if you could link evidence for 'massacres' in Las Anod. Regardless, considering the delicate history of Sonaliland with the Hargeisa Holocaust, it is understandable that the Isaaq majority may wish to maintain self-rule. Furthermore, it can be easily deduced that the Dhulbahante clan are exploited by the Somali gov. to destabilize Somaliland. I don't understand what justifies the animosity towards Somaliland.
So do you support eastern Ukraine getting sovereignty to rule themselves as a sovereign nation? Or do you only like African, Asian and South American countries to break up?
I hope so. Somaliland is the one functioning part of that country.... They deserve the chance to exist as a nation.
you guys have 0 idea what your talking about. As a somalian myself from the somaliland region if somaliland gain recognition there will literally be instant civil war in somaliland itself....
HALF of somaliland doesnt want to break off with somalia there literally was a minor war in somaliland recently over the main clan that controls somaliland (issaq) vs the other minor tribes which banded up to form a collision against somaliland(SSC khatomo) somaliland will literally devolve into chaos if it is given recognition.
you might be wondering why does half of somaliland not want to be part of somaliland? Somaliland's borders are based off the british colony and is not a real border which distinguishes people. The SSC regions are closer to puntland than to the rest of somaliland and they do not want to be separated from somalia.
somaliland isnt a "beacon of stability" in the east african region they're really just lucky that they are far away from the rebels and terrorist in the south. In fact the same level of "stability" is found in the other northern region of puntland which is right next to Somaliland. and even at that the south has become wayyy more stable in recent years due to the terrorist group al shabbab losing most of there territory there basically a dead group at this point.
this is a turning point for somalia and it can become more stable it this plan doesnt go through.

Somaliland is not a new country Somaliland was a british protectorate that became the 17th African country to be granted full independence on June 26, 1960, but within days it was annexed by Somalia.

Yeah, there are risks of inspiring other less well thought out and stable regions to do the same thing, but I don't see why that should be used to deny Somaliland statehood. Its just a challenge that has to be worked though.
My biggest concern is that if the UK, US, EU, UAE ect are only interested in recognising Somaliland as a strategic position, to set up military bases ect, that that is a bad idea on the Wests part. Heavy American presence isnt always in the best interest of the regions.
That being said, Somaliland wholeheartedly deserve their independence. They just have to be careful to not sign away too much autonomy in an effort to gain recognition.
They have committed massacres against minority groups who disagree with their secession and don't want to be part of Somaliland. There have also been reports of political intimidation and kidnappings of those who criticise their government - like many other authoritarian regimes who feign democracy

Personally I think Somaliland getting recognized is a great thing.
I constantly hear how Africa is in a bad state because of the remanants of colonialism, drawing general borders without any consideration about the ethnic makeup of those areas.
The recognition of Somaliland would be a step in the direction of fixing those arbitrary borders.
If it succeeds (which is likely considering they've been basically autonomous for years now) it shows that this is the way to fix these problems.
If it fails it at least dispels the mith that borders where the real issue why Africa is stuck in the past.
Also let's remember that Egypt is now trying to use Somaliland as a kudgel to beat Ethyopia with in the discussion of water rights. Removing it from the equation will force Egypt to stop treating the Nile as if it was it's personal property despite them holding only a small part of its tail end.

Two corrections:

2) Egypt is trying to use SOMALIA, not Somaliland, as a kudgel against Ethiopia. Somaliland is aligned with Ethiopia.

Why does every independent British or American news outlet show Somaliland's claimed territory and act like Somaliland is entitled to all the former British colonial territory? (They are multiple Somali Clans in the North that don't want to breakaway from Somalia and join Somaliland)
You can kiss Somaliland's butt by saying their independent and other countries wish they could recognize them idc but at least be open minded enough to highlight the large disputed territory that Puntland and now the newly formed Khatumo State of Somalia controls in the north at the expenses of Somaliland 💀
Searching for somaliland news as usual😂 The world knows about somaliland today and the lies of somalia to the international community has been found out
@Certified-k4j Shut up. Drump just joked about recognizing Somaliland to troll Ihan Omer. Plus Somaliland elected a new President mainly because they were pissed at the old one for losing so much territory to Khautumo 😭
Insha alla we should hope for it
Im somalilander
The dream come true
Never would’ve even thought about that, but it’s a good question, come to think of it.
I'm from Somaliland and sick of Western countries'obsession of dividing my people. We are of Somali ethnicity, have one religion, one language, one culture that we share with Somalia and have close family ties. Somaliland itself is not united with more than half against independence and it already caused a war in the eastern part which governs itself now one of the largest part that wants join Federal Somalia and the western part too tensions are high. These people want to use my country as a base to launch wars on Yemen Iran and provoke China.
@@theancientsancients1769your not from Somaliland 😂😂😂😂 this is the internet as it’s finest
To be honest, somaliland recognition will have a ripple effect in the horn of africa. And more states will fight for own ethnic countries independence. Which is good thing. Africa in general is a mess
But Somaliland have international boundaries unlike those African separation movements
They massacred many loyalists in Las Anod who opposed secession and yet they claim their "nation" is democratic? 😂
It's absurd to still hold eternal grudges against southern Somalis over Siad Barre’s actions especially when his regime harmed many south Somalis in the country. Somalis need to unite and move beyond qabyalaad (tribalism) which only divides and weakens us. Unity is the key to a stronger and a peaceful Somaliya.
Viva great Somalia 🇸🇴 no one can divide us
as somalilander i might agree with the great Somalia thing , as long you are aspiring for all the five somali regions. but is that attainable whilst somalia has more flags than the rest of the world? i know you are not that stupid you just hate somalilnd and that feeling is mutual .
The recognition of Somaliland is a significant step toward fostering development and stability in the Horn of Africa. I commend the efforts made by members of the U.S. Congress in supporting this cause.
Somaliland's strategic and geopolitical excellence will lead to the greater International Recognition.
It's so weird hearing that the first reason Trump would endorse recognising Somaliland is to anger Lefties when, as a Left Winger myself, I would love nothing more than an independent Somaliland... This might be the first and only time i agree with Trump & disagree with the Left Wing politicians on something.
We're very proud of our achievements and we deserve to get a full recognition.and we hope even if it takes to us a time.❤
I’m from Southern Somalia and I believe Somaliland deserves to be recognized.✅
😂😂
Proud to be from the amazing country of Somaliland.
As a Somalilander who's also opposed to Trump, I don't know what to think.
Do you acknowledge the massacres Somaliland have committed against minorities who refuse to secede with them?
@keifer7813 Yes, I think the Government shouldn't have done that, but remember that Government has been voted out.
I do think Somaliland is Independent and should be recognized, but that doesn't mean I support all the action my Government takes (same could go for anyone)
For example, America itself has done multiple war crimes in it's history, does that mean it should not be recognized?
@@IbrahimMahamed-n1v Fair enough. So if Somaliland gets independence, you're happy to let Sool, Sanaag, Awdal and any other region go and stick with Somalia if they so choose?
@keifer7813 I mean yeah prob
Though I don't see why Awdal should rejoin Somalia
Somaliland needs to be re-recognised.
I am an ethiopian American. recognizing somaliland is key since they have ran their own country for 30 years now and have peaceful elections and a functioning government.
Both of my countries will recognize somaliland 🇪🇹🇺🇸
I really liked how u summed the wide history❤. Thank you man
if trump does this then I will give him respect, awful human being but maybe he has a heart somewhere
Ummmm...he's doing it for geopolitical reasons, not empathy, but hey sometimes bad people accidentally do good things.
Lol "awful human being" based on what?
The people of the republic of Somaliland regained their freedom not independence in 1991 as Somaliland is a de jure country that gained its independence on June 26 1960 as the first East African country to do so. The government of the republic of Somalia and Mogadiscio control over Somaliland was never “de jure” or legal. The union was never ratified, the constitution was rigged by the Italians who not only were the ones that wrote it but certified the referendum of 1961. The coup of 1969 only solidified the reality that Somaliland was under occupation
There was always feeling of disenchantment that would lead to the 1961 attempt by the Somaliland camel corps, the occasional riots and the demand for freedom was consistent.
This is paid propaganda driven by foreign interests, not by the people of Somaliland or Somalia. Somaliland is recognized as a federal state of Somalia, and this propaganda seeks to separate Somaliland from Somalia due to its strategic location.
🎖️I am very happy that you commented on the reality of the country of JSL and how it has achieved many things and deserves to be among the countries of the world and the African continent. Somalilan
We somalinders highly derserved to get international recognition.
We are demanding the UN,AU,EU and whole the world to evaluate the peaceful and democratic elections that we have done, the stability existing in our country
#Somaliland is the only democratic county in East Africa
Somalia is a one, and it is important to protect the unity and integrity of our country ❤❤❤.
Somaliland is a part of Somalia 🇸🇴
somalia isn't one bro wake up
Protect the unity? There is no unity. You guys just want to hold us behind. No we are not part of somalia
Somalia is a failed state 😂😂 somaliland better
Failed State Somalia is a Worst Fake Country in the World
The Somali people have never been under one government ever throughout their history.
Love the closing remarks, very mature
I thought Taiwan has always recognized Somaliland as a country, their ambassador in Taiwan even gave a speech at my school.
The last time the Americans tried to violate Somalia's sovereignty it was not good and the Americans will never learn from their past failed wars in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Somalia.
Somaliland remains internationally recognized as part of Somalia, and no foreign power, including the United States under Trump or any other leader, can change that. Recognizing a clan-based state with an estimated population of 1.5 million or less undermines Somalia's sovereignty, which is protected by international law. Somalia's territorial integrity and unity are non-negotiable, and no country has the authority to violate it. If you think such a wish could become reality, it's nothing more than a dream. Trump couldn’t even solve domestic issues like homelessness, let alone challenge Somalia’s sovereignty or violate international law.
Somalia doesn’t have sovereignty. They aren’t even a real state. Somaliland actually has a real government.
I love when politicians are right.
Please note; Correction, Somaliland population in 1901 were 153,018.
The population of Somaliland (Hargeisa) in the 1950 was estimated at 650,000.
One year before the independence of Somaliland, the British government took a population census for the last time I believe it was Feb-July 1959, and the result was 825,651.
While the Somali population in Somalia (Mogadishu) in 1955 was estimated at 1,300,032, including 175,000 Italians.
After the independence (Somaliland & Somalia) the Somali Republic population was estimated at 1,950,651.
thank you
You are going through the bush with out having compus. Somaliland was a the mather of ancient historical channel in the horn of Africa in early ancient times l, middle, and modern time the population of Somaliland had been estimated in IFAT,and Adel Empire was the one you are Juck of old trade ❤❤❤SOMALILAND insha ALAAH ❤❤❤GUUUUUUL iyo gobonimo ❤❤❤insha ALAAH Victory from wishwashy Somalian journalism 😊
Excellent, thank you. This is precious currency ahead of thanksgiving dinners
Giving Williamson we will be president somaliland we never forget Williamson
Hargeisa Somaliland ❤️ 💚 🤍 is a independent country from Mogadishu Somalia 🇸🇴
I think that if you create a western style democracy all on your own. Without any major backing. You deserve your spot at the table of the western block.
After 30 years of independence, and a fully functional, separate government, it is no longer part of Somalia. It is Somaliland. Grown adults have been born and lived their entire lives in this country, and its possible that this is almost two generations.
That alone is a high enough bar that will make it next to impossible for most potential secessionist movements to clear. That, in addition to the fact that Somaliland's borders are the same colonial borders that were there when both British Somaliland and Italian Somaliland gained independence in 1960. In other words, this isn't a case of changing colonial borders at all and TLDR should've done a better job clarifying this point.
It is delightful that I take pride in the peaceful and successful election held in Somaliland! It is important to be proud of my country’s progress and democratic system, as it demonstrates that Somaliland fully deserves international recognition. The efforts made by my people and country to maintain peace and stability serve as an excellent example that the world should acknowledge.
Somaliland have rights to be independent state like before we united with Somalia in 1960 now its time to re-recognize Somaliland thank you all support😍🙏
Clans in Somaliland are fighting each other. Was it just one clan that was supposed to be recognized? America should stay out of the affairs of the people living in Somaliland.
There are ongoing conflicts in Las Anod and Erigavo.
Yet it's still more peaceful than Mogadishu.
These “conflicts” you mention are engineered by Somalia to specifically do this, try and buy time to delay any progress in Somaliland because they are scared.
Somalia instead of focusing on alshabab and pirates and poverty and corruption in northern Somalia aka garowe, they prefer engineering problems so they can sell solution they can’t achieve 😂

I am from Hargeisa, I don't agree the clan minded separatist of my clan. Their intelligence is to secede from the motherland we locate a very dangerous area and clan intelligence can not protect us from this unstable world.
There is no Somaliland that can be recognized now. Large parts of the so called Somaliland actually fought a bitter war last year just to not go with that idea.
SSC took a small portion, why not recognise the rest?
@Remake5182
Awdal has the same issue like SSC.
The only ones who want to secede are those who belong to the Isaq clan, and even many of them who still want to remain united with the rest of Somalia don't have the freedom to express their opinions or they risk imprisonment.
@@boono2912 awdal is a diffrent story go to borama or lughaya or zeilac you will see a guy or woman with a somaliland braclet thing on so that is highly speculative to say though sool/ssc had good reasons to leave they were being unjustly bombed for no reason at all.
The majority of people in the Awdal region support unity, and that is a fact. 2 years ago, before SSC decided to act, Somaliland was claiming that SSC was Somaliland and people wanted to secede!
It is only a matter of time until Awdal erupts, too, and forces Somaliland forces to leave Awdal.
@@boono2912 if they do the exact same thing they did to lascanood and do it to borama or any city in awdal then let them go they are well with in there right to cede
