Breaking news: UK suggests Somaliland should be recognised!

[Coeus]

Accoding to the latest Wikileaks Cable report:

UK has been discussing alot about Africa, particulary Zimbabwe, Nigeria and Somalia. But Also Somaliland. Read the following:


Given the UK's history, the large number of Somali Diaspora in the UK, and the real security threats that community may present to the UK, think tank security specialists thought Somalia should be more of a priority for HMG. HMG, they argued, should be more innovative on Somalia policy, focusing on local community engagement and finding humanitarian and social initiatives where material benefit can be derived without deployment of an excessively large peacekeeping force. The RUSI Africa specialist said HMG and the USG's previous entry point to Somalia was through Ethiopia. With the withdrawal of Ethiopian troops, a new entry point should be found quickly. He thought both IGAD and the AU could serve in this capacity. He also asserted that recognition of Somaliland should be considered to allow it access to international mechanisms for development and capacity support, as well as to support its democratic development in the face of increasing Islamic militant pressures.


6. (C/NF) Embassy comment. Cabinet office officials have told us that they consider Somalia a serious security concern, but they have not been able to induce other HMG departments to move on it, in large part because of the failure of the HMG process to set Africa priorities. HMG's budget crunch also seems to be hindering the decision-making process (ref D). End comment.

Read the leak again because the UK government didn't suggest anything. An African specialist suggested it to the UK government.
