Give us an example of how the other party has to be involved? Is there an international law that you can cite?
Quebec referendum didn't include all of Canada.
South Sudan referendum didn't include all of Sudan.
Scotland referendum didn't include all of The United Kingdom.
Montenegro referendum didn't include all of Serbia.
You get the point so why would all of Somalia decide the faith of Somaliland?
Apples & oranges. Those above weren't separate independent countries that peacefully and willingly joined to form a union. For instance, North/South Sudan, two regions of different people/culture were carved and put together by the British empire. Montenegro/Serbia, two regions of different people/culture along with other regions, were put together by the former Yugoslavia. You get the point for the rest. An independent SL made a proposal to marry a not-independent Somalia. After several days, Somalia gained independence, and they (same haplogroup, language, culture, etc) married willingly. A divorce isn't gonna happen without a court & the consent of Somalia.
It's been 26 years what are you crying about? It took Croatia over 70 years for their independence. Took South Sudan 49 years or their independence.
Croatia, South Sudan and others got independence through the UN. SL doesn't know how to gain independence, hence 26 years (and counting) of failure.
Again can cite the law that says a referendum has to be all of Somalia? And can you cite law anywhere that says the same haplogroup, language, culture have to form one single country?
Montenegro and Serbia have the same language, culture. Dozens of Arab states with the same language and culture form different countries. South American nations have the same language, culture etc.
Independence takes time just ask Scotland on 300 years, Croatia 73 years South Sudan 49 years. I think you would agree with the real failure is Somalia they had no control for over 26 years. The president can't even go to the second city. Citizens of Somalia can't fly their flag in any part of SL. Now that is the real failure.
