Seems like SL is finally becoming relevant in world affairs, after being irrelevant for 30 years.

Somaliland doesn't deserve ictiraaf yet, until it's political elite starts being serious. They're not ready to play in the big boy league of recognised countries because they can't act as statesmen who put their countries interests before their own.

It's immoral but it has to be done. The Hauthi are like the Isaaq in Somali politics they have been marginalized for decades , they are fighting for their right.

Unfortunate though it may be, this is how the world works. Most countries benefit from war in other countries. Look at Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Burundi. They have made an absolute loot from Somalia's conflict. They have got salaries for their military, weapons, aircraft, training etc. as well as leverage in their dealings with other countries. Ethiopia has even dammed the rivers that flow into Somalia. Whilst Kenya is selling Somalia's trees as charcoal, as well as its territorial waters. Waa bilaa naxariis.

It is what it is. And don't forget that the Yemenis fought against Somalia in the 1977 war. This is payback and then some.

[Futurist]

I head that Puntland is considering leasing Boosaaso port to Iran, through the Iranian revolutionary guard.

Should be interesting.

Foreign policy and long term treaties are the purview of the federal government. It is more important now because the nature of the two is still unresolved.
