It looks like the somali government after 20 years is getting back on its feet with greater international support and its legitimacy claims over all territorial lands of the somali republic, including somaliland itself
It comes in wake after Britain invited Mogadishu's leadership to meet the british PM, Gordon brown.
Should somaliland had played the game differently by urging that the capital be moved from Mogadishu to Hargaysa, thereby giving them all the political clout to do everything they wish.
Now the TFG is baring louder and louder claiming legitimatly authority over somaliland itself in the international stage.
It seems as if the US, Britain and much of the EU strongly believe in a united somalia ruled from Mogadishu, God bless
Has somaliland made a mistake by isolating itself from Mogad

Re: Has somaliland made a mistake by isolating itself from Mogad
We can all be speculative, but the facts on the ground suggest that Somaliland is an independent nation, albeit international unrecognised.The lack of Recognition doesn't necessarily mean that Somalia still had jurisdiction over Somaliland. This sharif government is not able to control its own capital city, yet you make speculative claims on Somaliland. Your claims to Somaliland and its people as being part of Somalia are nonsensical and not reasonable. Even if Somaliland is not recognised, it’s very hard to claim Somaliland territory as part of Somalia. Each passing year continues to make these facts more evident. Each year passing year Somaliland continues to exist will empower its citizens and alienate them to outsiders from south Somalia.
When on the 26th June 1960, Britain granted independence to the Somaliland protectorate, ending 80 years of colonial rule, some 38 countries recognised Somaliland. Five days later, Italian Somaliland achieved independence from Italy and immediately joined the formally British Somaliland in the north to form the Somali republic. Although theoretically united as a single nation at independence, the former Italian colony in the south and Somaliland were from an institutional standpoint, two separate countries. Italy and Britain had left them with separate adminstrative, legal and education system where affairs were conducted in different languages. Police, taxes and the exchange rates of their currencies were also different. The orientations of their educated elites were divergent and economic contacts between the two regions were virtually non-existent.
The new Somali republic quickly experience growing pains shortly after the union. Somalilanders saw themselves loosing everything to the south, including their identity as equals partners in the union and most importantly the right for a separate referendum to decide their own destination without coercion. These problems were further exacerbated by perceived southern domination of the new government.
If there was something Somalilanders got in return from the union it was derogatory remarks. The Somalilanders immediately questioned the merits of the union. They turned against their impulsive leaders who hijacked their hard won independence to the south without negotiating for the union act. I believe the blame was squarely laid on the doors of those fanatic ill-spirited politicians who did not master the basic ropes of governance, relinquishing the independence of their beloved country by united with the Italian Somalia without any popular approval through a separate referendum.
It thus came to pass soon the union between the legal states was driven by an irresistible blind impulse and pure unreasoning emotion. Both the impulsiveness and the emotions were exclusively and solely from the Somaliland side. Those emotional and impulsive Somaliland leaders who took seriously the ritual lip service to the romantic notion of ‘Greater Somalia’, soon sadly has found themselves living to rue in posterity their naïve credulity.
Lighting may strike once but never again in the Somaliland Republic. We are anticipating the day when Somalis in eastern and Southern Somalia come to our doors and force feed us the ludicrous idea of rejoining a union that is detrimental to our existence, we will fight and obliterate any so called union in a destructive way like Eritrea, Kosovo, East Timor, Abkhazia and South Ossetia all did. I am hoping that day will come soon, because we are ready to decide our fate using missiles and artillery against the oppressor and invader to peace and prosperity. I am hoping that day is fast approaching! We are amassing the victory parade celebrations.
God Bless
