What if somaliland and djbouti became one country?

I always wondered what would lt look like if djbouti and somaliland joining and becoming one nation since they are of similar demographic ( somaliland expatriates mainly issaq and gaddarbirsi with some issa)?.

It wouldn’t work out sadly :yloezpe: The reason is the laws are less Islamic in Djibouti (Alcohol is legal in Djibouti) and the education system is French not English. The Afars will also start a rebellion for an independent state as the demographics will significantly change will to an Afar minority not a sizeable one:vo3yidw:They also are neutral with the Somaliland and Somalia conflict but they are sometimes lenient to Somaliland. It’s a dream though because the ruling party UMP was made to stop Pan-Somalism. It could’ve been possible in 1967 but Harbi(still credited as a hero on the highest denomination of the Djiboutian Franc 5000 Fdj) is gone so Unity with Djibouti is no longer an idea.

Do you think pan Somalism is a concept that is irrational. But, at the same time certain amount of Somalis give credence to that idea eventhough it may be detrimental to some extent?
 
It would be an interesting country

Population 5.5m

Coastline: 1,100KM

Two cities of 1m population each in Djibouti Ville and Hargeisa.

Three deep sea ports: Berbera, Djibouti, Tadjoura

Mountain range: Gollis/Dallo

Large cities: Boorama, Berbera, Burco, Las Anod, Cerigabo.

What would be really interesting would be Somaliland + Djibouti + Puntland + Somali Galbeed

The Northern Somali civilisation
 
what does the two countries have to offer each other?

That's a very good question, somaliland and Djibouti could do a compromise based on resources. But, then again I do believe that SL should be recognized as an independent country. Therefore, the idea of both djbouti and somaliland joined in unison to establish 1 nation is merely a thought and nothing else.

The drawing isn’t that good but this is roughly how big Somali Galbeed+Puntland+Somaliland+ Djibouti would look
