Of course we dont have the possibility to travel back in time, but looking back I have the feeling and wouldve advised that in 1991 the northern part of the two state made Somali Union did not withdraw to reestablish an independent Somaliland and instead decided to set up a rival govt under the same united state based in the north e.g. Hargeisa or Erigavo and the state was called for example "Somali People's Republic" with the union intact yet with democracy, it would have let to an recognised, independent Somaliland by now because:
1. The world would have recognised a northern based govt as the official the union country and would have taken the old SDR state's place in the world e.g. UN, OIC, AL etc.
2. To the outside, this govt based in the north would be a national govt but on the ground it would be a northern dominated one
3. Although in theory by law the govt is to operate across across the country, it will in reality only operate in the ex British Somaliland territory only and reject to incorporate some or all of ex Somalia d'Italia under its rule
4. Over the course of time the "national" (really northern) govt with full diplomatic relations and membership of intl organisations would change, through amending its constitution and laws, its name, flag, other symbols like emblem, and crucially its BORDERS to bring about a modern 'Republic of Somaliland' based on the ex Protectorate's boundaries
5. Somaliland would now be keeping full recognition/relations across the world, have full membership of world bodies, have a functioning state, booming economy and well armed strong military and most importantly 100% sovereign control of all her national territory.
Oh well, we'll take the long route to recognition I guess
