1. War (Eritean, Kosovo, East Timor model)
2. Resources model (South Sudan model)
Both options are very much open!
But there is a third option
Perhaps, its time for Somaliland to enter into negations with his excellency Sheikh Sharif.
However, there are two obstacles -
1. Debt - sharing the burden of debt to international monetary fund and World Bank etc. But there is a useful little law that stipulates that no existing treaties shall be binding on new a Republics. Much like the decolonisation of the early 1960s. The irony of partially paying for the Barre regimes squandered resources to destroy the then Somaliland is laughable to say the least.
2. Getting approval from the TFG. Strike while the iron is hot. The current climate is favourable.
