Although Somalia is a heavily dollarized economy, it is experiencing inflation that is significantly higher than what you would expect from a dollarized economy.
US CPI rose 22% in the same time period.
15 of the 18 regions are above that benchmark...
Secessionism as a project threatens the physical basis of Somalia as a nation-state, while the kabab insurgency is a threat to the idea of the nation-state. This is what most people don’t understand. Kabab is gonorrhea, secession is full-blown AIDS.
Listen from min 6:55 to the end.
ACLED, International Crisis Group and Sahan Research are all biased in favor of Somaliland.
These three organizations, whom many westerners rely on to provide impartial information regarding Somalia, are firmly in the pro Somaliland camp.
ACLED has been ignoring the conflict in Sool over the...
If Ethiopia recognizes Somaliland, imo <10% chance of this happening, federalism is finished.
Recognition of Somaliland by Ethiopia, followed by the creation of an Ethiopian navy stationed on the Gulf of Aden, would transform federalism into a suicide pact.
The only option at that point would be...
UCID party spokesperson admits that Somaliland has not been paying its MPs.

In Jan 2023, 5 days after the start of the Las Anod conflict, I predicted that the conflict in SSC won't come to end until the 2030s.
I was working under a few assumptions, all of which turned out to be mistaken:
Somaliland has a much larger military budget so it should be able to wage war on a...
Somaliland Ministry of Finance published a year's end economic review of 2020.

They have since stopped reporting the volume and the value of imports.
Somaliland imports more Khat by value than rice...

If Harti want to draw a clan based border in Sool, Sanaag and Togdheer, why don't they first take back the land they inhabit in Ethiopia?
It is a funny thing to say because it compares Somaliland to Ethiopia.
Harti can't defeat Ethiopia militarily, if Harti could...
