Momma Ethiopia is not happy with this

This would make sense if Somaliland was anything better than a bottom-tier third world country. It's barely scraping above Somalia and passing it off as achievement. I suppose anti-Somalia cuqdad has kept peace there, so there's that. I don't understand why people act like Somalia is immensely benefiting from Somaliland.

Actually, Somalia could just allow a referendum in SLand and let it go, which would bring so much horumar and development your head would spin.

SLand is only slightly better than Somalia because there is little to no significant international investment (because of legal uncertainty)..
That is before this deal, which isn't perfect but it's huge for us and cuqdadles wanna shit all over it and continue to hold on to people and lands that dont want you.

(P.S. it says a lot UAE did this deal without FGS approval is unbothered by FGS anger. How this all ends up will be great for SLand)

 

[Khayyam]

adeer this is fakest news...how come a country accept internationally unrecognized state?
btw this website has been created to make propaganda news for somaliland and sell their agenda

 

[Abdalla]

SLanders don't dream big. They were celebrating that there top leadership flew first class. They chose getting 5 million a year for their port over recognition.

 

[Ali Dheere]

Why can't we just invade Somaliland already? They are like this annoying fly in your soup, let's settle the issue once and for all with force.

Why would there suddenly be so much international investment? Somaliland has been relatively safe for a long time and while I certainly agree that stability is fundamental to acquiring foreign (or any) investment, it is not the only criterion. It's a third world corrupt African shit hole and there's afaik no real reason to speculate otherwise with or without international recognition. With a stupid name too... very reminiscent of another Somali-dominant country that has faded into complete obscurity. Oh yeah, Djibouti, the Vegas of Africa.. or was it meant to be the Singapore

But yes, Somalia could definitely allow bilateral secession... it just doesn't make sense to undermine yourself.

That is before this deal, which isn't perfect but it's huge for us and cuqdadles wanna shit all over it and continue to hold on to people and lands that dont want you.

Hold on to people that don't want us? Somaliland is the melodramatic wronged ex popping off on twitter about being obsessed over and stalked when a nigga just wants his AF1's back. I don't think anyone would mind one bit if all Somalilanders vacated the international border of Somalia. Unnecessary, but not a problem for sure. As for the land, that's clear bullshit otherwise there wouldn't have been a dispute over SSC to begin with.

(P.S. it says a lot UAE did this deal without FGS approval is unbothered by FGS anger. How this all ends up will be great for SLand)

Yes, it says that TFG commands no real authority over Somalia and has an appalling track record at 'governing'. It's not respected by anyone. The truth is that British Somaliland has no real claim to sovereignty legally, morally or even Islamically (IMO) but none of that matters because Somalia cannot claim land they can neither benefit nor enforce their laws in. In the words of mudane Tywin of house Lannister, 'any man who must say I am the king is no true king'.

@Slickback

There are many investment opportunities in SLand, from our coastline to agriculture to minerals- the point is it's not even open to discussion and barely explored because of Somalia's continued claim to it. The comparison to Djibouti is a red herring because investment opportunities have been explored to death and the only interest seems to be military bases.

Also, Somalia dooni mayno. You want us to leave? It's always been our land

Legal moral and Islamic claim ku lahaa warya I laughed so hard at that

I'm not lying tho

And that's nonsense, there's nothing stopping you from tapping into your resources right now. Literally same speculative BS that comes from Somalia, muhh oilz, muh fish but 80% of the export still consists of livestock. Maybe it's time to admit Somaliland is run by equally incompetent and corrupt buffoons as the tfg.

Well, maybe oil, but a lot of that is on rightfully disputed land.

I didn't say y'all had to or I wanted you to leave, y'all just can't leave with ssc. Maybe try tribal borders, that's far more reasonable, but you and I both know that would immediately destroy your already weak legal footing.

 

[BANTU]

@Slickback what's stopping investors from looking for opportunities in Somalia is different from why investors aren't looking at SLand for opportunities one is because of lack of stability and the other is lack of international recognition (if you don't understand that then )

Why don't you ask what the dhulbahantes want instead of speaking for them? I think they're divided so like I said hold it to a vote

 

[HouseofSamaale]

You guys realise the entire Peninsula is one giant shithole right?

'Muh SL and muh Somalia' ain't going to help no one. Y'all need to stop drinking the kool-aid and acting like we have an intact civilisation...

Forget the ajnabi- I can't invest in my own homeland if it isn't my clan territory...

Do you honestly believe that the only or biggest factor holding Somaliland back is the lack of international recognition? Definitely not saying it isn't an issue, but I strongly disagree.

Oil and minerals on disputed land aside, 90% of its exports are still animal products. Maybe even higher up north since most livestock is exported from there. You guys sometimes make it sound like there's an embargo on Somaliland when in reality it produces fuckall of real value just like the rest of Somalia... So again, aside from potential oil moneyZ and back to my original point, what makes Somaliland so much better than Somalia? They're almost equally corrupt, incompetent and suffer from virtually every issue Puntland suffers from. I am not saying it can't flourish, but I think my skepticism is very much warranted.

I'm not speaking for them, but that's ironic because every time y'all claim Somaliland isn't Somalia, aren't you speaking for them?

Why would you ask Dhulbahante and Warsangali to vote? British Somaliland exists or it doesn't. Also, while I am neither of the above, technically my tuulo is in Somaliland too.

@Slickback in what alternate universe can resources be harvested in the third world without foreign capital...

And we speak for the majority when we say that, but I am open to a vote

So basically Somaliland is calaacaling to be able to access resources that may or may not belong to them... Which brings me back to the point that the only thing Somaliland has on Somalia (the south anyway) is stability. Stability that might ironically be undermined if they secede without having everyone on board and thus preventing international investment.




I'm curious, what if they vote not to secede?

 

[BANTU]

@Slickback you're thinking one dimensionally, apparently oil is the only resource you can think of


The vote wouldnt be to see who wants to stay a part of SLand it would be should SLAnd secede. And that would most likely be an affirmative

It's not the only resource, but it's one of the few resources TFG is interfering in but their tree map still looks like 750ad England. That is not Somalia's fault.




And that makes more sense. Maybe we should have one for Somaliland and allow everyone to vote.

 

[BANTU]

The only one the fgs is interfering with ku lahaa

It has nothing to do with the weak fgs, and everything to do with hesitation from international finance

But you dont really understand the dynamic so whats the point

 

[HouseofSamaale]

If there is a free and fair referendum on secession in 'SL' and the options are to secede or to join a functioning restored Somali republic, there would be a significant plurality or even majority in favour of union.

I love how people act like everyone in SL is in favour of secession. This isn't the case. It's just that the secessionists are loud on social media. The average guy in Burco probably doesn't give a shit really.
27 years the gangsters in Hargeisa have been lying to their people telling them how 'ictiraaf' is imminent.

Awdal, Sool, Sanaag and Cayn are all pro-union. This isn't counting significant sections of the remainder who are partial to some form of union.

Personally, I'd love it if 'SL' got a highly competent administration and liberated every inch of the Somali Republic. Make Hargeisa the interim capital. Fulfil the original goal of the Somali National Movement: a prosperous Somalia free of dictatorship and tyranny.

This isn't going to happen but one can dream... A free, sovereign state in the Horn defending the interests of Somalis and Muslims generally.
