Brother that would require one to proof the Act of Union into which two states entered was ratified and then the terms of that union were observed. Any Violation of the terms of the contract invalidates that contract. The Contract was breached within it's first year of the Union and violated. All actions post 1961 reinforce a single perception that of the Absorption of one state into another. It wasn't a UNION whence the terms were violated and hence come 1991 reclamation of INDEPENDENCE there was neither a need to create a NEW state nor DISSOLVE another. We can technically make valid assumptions that the state of BRITISH SOMALILAND experienced not a loss of sovereignty but merely failed to assert it's will over it's territory during the said period of "UNION".Perfect_Order wrote:Cirwaaq, your right in that I missed the pivot of your statement. The only thing I disagree is this, "In a circumstance where one state has withdrawn from that agreement by the same means into which it entered it in the first place via majority demand and acceptance." Unless, the states are distinct and separate but in some kind of confederacy, like emirates, it can not withdraw it's agreement because it dissolves itself and becomes a part of a whole, indistinguishable from the whole. Otherwise, I agree with the rest, Somaliland is a legitimate state, while 4.5 state claims to be one.
If a state fails to exercise it's will in its territory it does not constitute a dissolution into another state and the act of UNION was designed for 5 regions of which Somalia and Somaliland were 2 portions. Since the Union pertained to 5 regions and all 5 regions could not be drawn into the union there is then a flaw with the intended UNION and failures to secure all 5 regions is equivalent to nullification of such UNION.
What is required is a renegotiation of the Union
It is not going to be sustained by force as we recall the love between the somali people of all 5 regions gave birth to UNIONIST sentiments. Today all we have left are HATE and destruction.
Because they did without a thought to their own self preservation out of love for the UNION of all Somalis in Africa they leaped in head first only to get politically sodomized. The likes of you would have us all doomed to eternity and aren't we BLESSED not to have muppets like you in position of influence.
5 States is dead believe me those with your mentality caused it to die and have made sure it is permanently buried.
Proud to know the 1960 UNION has failed us all and should be Dissolved for all our sake.
Fool don't have a nervous break down cause of me. LISTEN SOMALINET is the last place that will be consulted on the Nature and method in which the 1960 UNION will be dissolved and given a STATE BURIAL
