HSM right now. I might ask him if I can have my own state in Somaliland.
It's weird though he only seems to be approving of micro-states and adminstrations in a certain territority. The old colonial borders of Somaliland.
What's behind this strategy?
By dangling the possibility of a state within Somalia he wants to create loyal and hopefully warring groups inside Somaliland. It's a good strategy for him, whether he creates those states is another thing. A deal with south is the father of secession after all and secession is the father of all these states.
And if secession is gone, well you might find yourself holding a whole load of worthless coupons because you've already used up your usefulness.
