He is implying that China is supporting Khatumo forces whom he labels as "anti-Somaliland"
The hearing is about China's malign influence but the state department policies are all War on Terror era and they can't articulate a meaningful position on countering china within that framework. The state department simply responded with we currently recognize the territorial integrity of Somalia and these states (Somaliand, Puntland, South etc) shouldn't be politically infighting and they should focus on the insurgency together which really doesn't answer the question at all. It shows the old set of policies is meeting a new emerging political reality.
I can see a balance emerging between these two interests. A one Somaglia policy or One Italian Somaliland policy to counter the insurgency alongside the recognition of Somaliland.
This seems fairly obvious. I may expand on this point later in an thread titled, Towards a One Somaglia Policy.
Those countries were recognized pre ww2, maybe if a ww3 happens I wud encourage an independence for PL, it's a new world but a scramble for the globe has to happen either slowly, gradually, geopolitically, or directly isku dhac.@DR OSMAN Warya Dr Strange sip your nonsensical rambling and answer these simple questions. Maybe you will learn something. Did America beg King George for recognition? Did Israel beg the unfortunate Palestinians? If you even have to beg you’re not worth being given anything by such logic.
So what about Syria? It was just recently taken over violently and their new government is recognized already. It’s about power and value. It’s never been about beginning, not now not ever. Value = natural resources. Power is pretty self explanatoryThose countries were recognized pre ww2, maybe if a ww3 happens I wud encourage an independence for PL, it's a new world but a scramble for the globe has to happen either slowly, gradually, geopolitically, or directly isku dhac.
Secessionism is very different from violent coup or rebellion. The latter is a continuation of the previous body of Goverment in a new form meanwhile the former completely breaks of and forms a completely new entity distinct from its mother country.So what about Syria?

One simple question you all need to ask yourselves. Why do they always play these games instead of recognizing Taiwan or even Suuliland? Because they are tools to be used. The tools also enjoy being used over and over and then discarded.

Imho there isn’t a real difference. They are both the same thing. It’s a distinction without a difference. A violent coup only succeeds if it leaves no other choice or alternative. Secessionism only succeeds if there is likewise no other alternative. In SL‘s case, there are clear alternatives. Legalese won’t get SL recognition obviously. This is realpolitik.Secessionism is very different from violent coup or rebellion.

How many clear steps forward till independence? How many more years of "BIG" developments or promising deals. How many more times are we gonna hear "in the coming days, or weeks, or months, or years?"Always the same tired rhetoric.
Can't even call Somaliland because you know you have no point so turn to insults.
This is a clear step forward for Somaliland.
You are just looking for an argument. Notice how I didn’t bother to engage you at all? Grow up.Always the same tired rhetoric.

Sxb, it’s identity politics at this point. It’s so ingrained in his and SL’ers identity that he needs this narrative to keep fueling his desire to exist. It’s probably not even about actual recognition, the never-ending search itself seems to be deeply gratifying for them. If they stop looking or admit it won’t happen then their entire identity and SL as a whole collapsesHow many clear steps forward till independence?
