Why didn't Somaliland take advantage of Somalia's anarchy to get independence?

Maskeen....did I really shatter your innocent world view by breaking the news that Think Tanks take money to propogate the interests of their donors?

The Heritage Foundation at that. They are eptimome of pay for play.

Had a quick look at their piece. There second "reason" says it all:

The U.S. Should Recognize Somaliland

The autonomous territory of Somaliland sits in one of Earth’s most strategically important areas. Yet the influence Beijing has built, particularly in Djibouti, threatens the U.S.’s ability to defend its interests there. Recognizing Somaliland would let the U.S. build a partnership with the...

Recognizing Somaliland’s independence would enable the U.S. to hedge against further deterioration of its position in Djibouti, which is under Chinese sway.

No one is actually swayed by the legalities of what ever the f*ck happened in 1960. This is a pure China play. Fits into the conservative world view nicely once you think about it. US knows it can’t compete with China fair and square for influence in Somalia so a break up might serve their interests in that narrow regard.

It's because Somaliland politicians are too emotional and think emotionally rather than logically

Somalias politicians and people are overly emotional and unrealistic. Even the US Heritage group mocks the mindset of you people and your Elites and says recognizing The Republic of Somaliland might wake the Somalians up to actually working on their government instead of focusing all their efforts on Somaliland

Another point made about the overly emotional and illogical views of people from Somalia and the politics in the region. They're telling you to wake up and face reality

There a neo conservative group. No one on here should pay them heed unless your desperate.

These idiots had these type of points as well and many more that were just as dumb.

Fighting a Just War in Iraq

Numerous gloomy predictions have been made by pundits, journalists and religious leaders about the conduct and effects of a U.S.-led war against Iraq. Critics said that war would devastate Iraq's infrastructure, making it impossible to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people. They...

Not taking initiative, isolationist policy, sub bar politicians, contempt for the "south", playing by the rules and generally complacent with the status quo.

Aren't you a Lama Oyaan HY? why even bother praising a triangle desert region you are not allowed to lead? Your langaab clan have deputy PM in Somalia at least unlike SL where you have nothing hence why most of your kins are unionists for decades now.

After the Berlin Wall collapsed, many Communist nations disintegrated. The Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, East Germany etc.

The IC declared these nations defunct and essentially allowed for splinter states to form. This was partly due to the IC not wanting a power vacuum.

Somalia was a communist country that collapsed in 1991. The IC could easily have treated us like Yugoslavia and let Somalia splinter.

But it didn’t and let the civil war play out.

Why?

Because the IC prefers a dysfunctional Somalia to a balkanised Somalia.

They have no realistic plans on ever letting Somalia disband.

Yugoslavia disintegrated when ethnic warfare happened between the federal republics who declared independence like Croatia Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina when Serbian federal republic wanted to over rule those federal republic with its vision of Greater Serbia something western European countries didn't support and so they decided to recognize Croatia and Slovenia first when they declared independence.

For somalia situation the IC community wanted to restore stability in the south which didn't have a functioning govt that's way they were so focused on bringing all the parties to table to agree on something that can help the formation of Govt and they thought Somaliland's recognition would hamper that effort and may escalate the situation even further and the most important thing is powerful countries didn't care about SL/Somalia as it will not add anything to their strategic interests unlike the Balkan region. There's several unrecognized nation in similar situation to Somaliland you have Abkazia and south Ossetia separate from Georgian rule since they drive them out from their territory in the 90s civil war.

Our recognition is not in Somalia mate. Somaliland and Somalia were equal stakeholders of the 1960 union known as the Somali Republic. The Republic of Somaliland can unilaterally declare that it has retracted from the 1960 union and it has every legal basis to do so. Going through Somalia to get recognition delegitimizes our case and makes The Republic of Somaliland seem like a secessionist state, which is something you Somalians try and paint Somaliland as. We're not dumb enough to do things how you see it should be done or else we'd be the same

“Somalians” kulaha, are you African American now or white? The whole world sees you as just another poor uncivilized Somali from a war torn region. Lay off the khat and get some sleep.
