Throwing their dog a bone.
Mogadishu had only one choice which was to recognize Somaliland in 1960s borders. It didn't have any other choices. They thought they did but didn't really and the rest will be history. Mogadishu thought they could deal with parts of Somaliland but this only speeds up our recognition pursuit and complete seperation.
Call it what you want. FGS are keeping SSc dangling for some future proxy war but that is some time away (were they throwing their dog a bone? - that's for the audience to decide).
It looks like they've gone the hundred year route which is to say they understand they are powerless now but they will keep the door open for their return in the distant future.

This is part of the same MoU that is repeatedly declared dead, null and void, etc but keeps springing back to life and full health.

FGS showed their weakness by attempting to close the Ethiopian Consulate now Embassy in Hargeisa. Not only didn't it close it was upgraded, lol.
This should be a lesson to the Somali super patriots and ultranationalists. You cannot project strength you do not have. Going futher to say you can't even kick out all the NGOs and International Organizations that make you look weak if you don't have the capacity to replace them, etc.
