You reckon if SL got recognition and became their own country, they’d have good relations with Somalia?@Bluefire it should be a positive for all ethnic Somalis to have a third Somali majority country in the UN. Arabs have multiple countries including 6 in the GCC. What would be terrible is if either SL or Djibouti gets absorbed into Ethiopia
Darood has been presidents in Somalia for roughly 35 years combined since independence. What makes you think they’re going anywhereFor Hawiyes its an welcoming gift that SL gains its independence, but if you are darood than its bad for you that Somaliland becomes independent, simply because you will than have 3 Irir states (Hawiye's Somalia, Isaaqs Somaliland and Cisa Djibouti) who all have 1 thing in Common, which is their shared hatred for anything Darood.
These 3 Irir States will be doing co-operation in subjugating Daroods in their lands, Cisa will be supported to subjugate Ogadens in Ethiopia Somali State, Isaaq will be supported to keep their pets (Warsangali and Dhulbahante) on leash, and Hawiye will be supported to keep the treacherous mjs under their subjugation.
Heck even SL and DJ will give Hawiye's Somalia who is under Embargo heavy weapons to subjugate the annoying mjs under full occupation.
So haviing said that, we Hawiye deeply welcome our Isaaq Irir brother's Somaliland independence
VIVA IRIR STATES.

What If they hypothetically throw away the Somali name and start identifying their clans as ethnic groups and their accent as a seperate dialect and rename the countryThe reason for why SL shouldn’t be a country is simple:
There is no good reason for there to be another Somali-majority nation.

I don't agree with it being a reason for Somaliland's independence, but it is nowhere near a "ludicrous" a comparison as you make it out to be.There are almost 70 million people in the GCC and its over four times the area of Somalia.
Absolutely ludicrous comparison.
Your reason is neither simple nor logical. What would be fundamentally wrong with having multiple countries that have Somali majorities?The reason for why SL shouldn’t be a country is simple:
There is no good reason for there to be another Somali-majority nation.
Actually, Somali's are probably amongst the least studied African ethnicities there is. Almost no anthropologists have focused on Somalis as their area of study, and outside of of a very small group of writers like I.M. Lewis, Somalis are historically almost not studied at all.No anthropologist will fall for it.
These cadaans have probably studied Somalis and Somalia more than any other ethnicity.
No one is falling for the “we wuz different wallahi”.
Just admit you're emotionally against the existence of somaliland and stop pretending to be rational.The reason for why SL shouldn’t be a country is simple:

Also there is the mantra of don’t focus on something new when something is unfinished. Somalis have a failed state and want to create another country. Cadaans don’t care about the difference between SL or Somalia, what they see is that Somalis destroyed their country and want to make another one.

I briefly considered it is as an area of study (Anthropology study of Somalis) when I was considering Uni options.
