"While Somalia is engaged in a tug of war between the Islamists and the feeble TFG, the as yet unrecognized Somaliland has established stability and conducted democratic elections for the presidency and the parliament. It is unfair for the international community to hold Somaliland hostage to the events in Somalia. Somaliland deserves recognition after all it has done in the past 15 years. Somalia should take a cue from Somaliland and resolve its problems without meddling from other countries."
