Somaliland Leader: Mogadishu Is Biggest Challenge to Our Recognition

Somaliland Leader: Mogadishu Is Biggest Challenge to Our Recognition

Somaliland President Muse Bihi said authorities in Mogadishu are the biggest challenge for the autonomous region’s fight for recognition as an independent state, 29 years after it broke away from Somalia after the overthrow of military ruler Siad Barre.

As I understand it, no country recognizes Somaliland. Should foreigners recognize Somaliland? If yes, why? If no, why?

I am curious what the arguments are for the two sides.

As I understand it, no country recognizes Somaliland. Should foreigners recognize Somaliland? If yes, why? If no, why?

My roots are from the coastal northwest. Somaliland's push for independence should not be recognized.

Here is why:

1. Somalis need to preserve our identity. The more fragmented we are the easier it is to control us by the countries like Ethiopia and manipulate against our future plans.

2. The president of Somaliland, Muse Biixi, has blood on his hands and is not the guy to lead people from their hearts. Somaliland is basically a poverty police state that has a veneer of democracy. It does not hesitate to suppress violently its own regions, thus, perpetuating the oppression it complains about so much when referring to itself. It defeats their argument for independence and recognition.

3. Somalia is going through growing pains politically and slowly maturing. Even the warlords now understand the benefits of stable Somalia. There is a lot of back and forth in discussions about, the president of Somalia, Farmaajo and ongoing political meetings. It is a good practice and will benefit Somalis in the future.

Somalia needs more time and frankly a chance to fix itself before parting.

There is a whole bunch of Biixi's bots on this forum sowing discourse among Somalis. Just filter them out and try to get the actual picture.

At the end of the day, we are all Somalis no matter how much we diverge in our views.

The oppressive reality of Somaliland in the eyes of the westerners aka the International Community

It's time to let Somaliland go.

I believe that Somalia should be separated into maybe 7 new countries just like the Arab states in the Middle East. Somalilanders have made their choice and Somalis everywhere have to respect that. We tried to live together in the same nation from July 1st 1960. We had high hopes but our...

@Omar del Sur If I were to visit Somaliland and express my views or even wear a blue baseball cap with a star, I would be beated and arrested by the Somaliland police and jailed. There have been many cases like that. There is no actual freedom of expression in there.

Keep in mind, many of these Somaliland bots live in the West and enjoy freedoms and rights but defend abuses as the above in Somaliland.

I'm sure Somalia will disintegrate into smaller pieces if Jeeganistan leaves the union. Puntland will secede too and then Jubaland. Maybe that's better for all of us like the Arabs. Who knows.

Then you'll have 30 micro clan countries.
Some of them will get fighter jets, cruise missiles, chemical weapons, warships.
Know nows what happens, waring clans with so much destructive toys.
They may try to wipe out each other.
