They will never recognize Somaliland. Meles knows if he recognizes Somalialnd, then Ogaden has the right to become its own country, same applies for Kenya with NFD. Recently Egypt laughed at Somaliand and the mere fact of it.
No one is going to recognize a country which is based solely in a tribe. It would set a dangerous precedent.

Look at how many other states have a greater claim than Somaliland
Oromia
South Phillipines
Kurdistan
South Sudan
Xinjiang
Chechnya
Palestine
And so on
They think they have the right to a country solely because the British created a area and called it Somaliland. Laughable

At the end of the day, Somaliland will never become a country. Deal with it

Move this back to general discussion

so is Djibouti I believe Somaliland has batter chance if they are willing to change the course just for the seek of their long term interest, If they are serious for independent Somaliland state they also don’t have to look far way for solution it just around the corner, you only need to learn from history, which is the last state that become independent in this region? it is Eritrea what tactics and policies they use to reach their goal, they make deal with TPLF their deal was fight together with Mangisto regime when they defeat Mangisto and capture Ethiopia, TPLF must hold referendum election only what is now Eritrea, TPLF kept the promise and Eritrea become Independent nation. Luckily Somaliland has the same opportunity that the Eritrea had why they are not taking that opportunity while they can?All they have to do unite Somalia to disunite later for their advantage in other words unite the war-torn region create what use to be Somalia for condition in the constitution they that can secede if the people of Somaliland choose so and meantime they can have their local government as it is now. But this opportunity may not last long if they don’t take advantage right now or they will remain hostage for Ethiopia and Djibouti.
I wonder why Somalilander don' explore this option while they knocking doors that won't meant to open for obvious reason that mentioned by the topic creator

the real question is what are you going to do about it?
you are depending on foriegn countries to keep somaliland down...

we do not require any justification other than we wanted independance and we took, and sure as hell we will keep it.
and you cannot do anything about it.
