I wouldn't call them "little clans", abowe. They maybe outdone in terms of sheer numbers but in terms of land
Awdal,
Makhir and
Khatumo aren't a small chunk of Somaliland by any means. And I doubt this "letting them go free". What state gives up land willingly? And they would further have to get recognition from the international community which will laugh given that they just, in this hypothetical, gave SL it's independence. It'll confirm all their talk about how giving SL independence will just trigger all out balkanization in the Horn as a whole.
