A community, which is highly fragmented, can't simply be unified by the prospect of forming a Federal State within Somalia. The core issues that are causing the community to have different views, should first be addressed.
If there is a genuine sense of community in the region, then the community must come to terms with real issues on hand.The influencers in the region have their own agenda. Puntland seems to have other priorities than being occupied with SSC region and simultaneously Somaliland is moving closer to secure its eastern borders.
However, would securing the borders yield international recognition for Somaliland and the ultimate defeat of the Unionist camp in the North or would it be not enough to end the status quo.
Anyways, I have a question for the Landers on the forum, why is Somaliland a unitary state considering the Unionists and tribal elements opposing it?
