Recognition of Somaliland Overdue BEN FARLEY | 26 JAN 2011 BRIEFING Nearly 20 years ago, Somaliland, a Florida-sized region of northeast Somalia once known as British Somaliland, declared its independence from Somalia. In the years since, Somaliland has emerged as a stable, democratic state that provides a measure of international security in a region overrun with pirates and transnational terrorists. Yet, no state or international body recognizes Somaliland's independence. Instead, the international community is content with the fiction that Somalia remains a unified state. Denying Somaliland recognition will likely result in its eventual collapse and the expansion of the chaos, instability and international insecurity that characterizes Somalia. To prevent this eventuality, the United States should grant recognition to Somaliland. Since declaring its independence in 1991, Somaliland has pursued an indigenous process of transformation from a militarized, post-conflict society governed by traditional clan structures to a representative democracy. Following the ouster of Siad Barre, the longtime dictator of the Democratic Republic of Somalia, a series of conferences of the elders of Somaliland's clans resulted first in Somaliland's declaration of independence, then in a transitional charter establishing a presidency and legislature, and finally in a provisional constitution.* That constitution was approved by 97 percent of votes cast in a Somaliland-wide referendum in 2001. Municipal, presidential and parliamentary elections were held in 2002, 2003 and 2005, respectively. The first presidential election was notable both for its narrow margin -- fewer than 100 votes separated the candidates -- and for its lack of violence. It is also notable because the victor, Dahir Rayale Kahin, is not a member of the dominant clan of Somaliland. Presidential elections scheduled to take place in 2008 were repeatedly delayed until June 2010. That largely peaceful election was judged as meeting international election standards. More importantly, power was transferred peacefully from the incumbent to the victorious opposition candidate, Ahmed Mahmoud Silanyo -- a feat unmatched by any other state in the Horn of Africa. As Somaliland's democratic institutions have developed, so too have its contributions to international security. In the 1990s, Somaliland successfully disarmed and demilitarized its population. A nascent coast guard now keeps Somaliland's waters free of Somalia-based pirates -- despite the fact that the Gulf of Aden, the Red Sea and the waters off the coast of Somalia are three of the five locations with the highest incidence of pirate attacks in the world. Its police and judicial system have successfully broken up and prosecuted al-Qaida-linked terrorist cells. Recently, Somaliland arrested and prosecuted several Russians transporting guns to Puntland, a Somali region bordering Somaliland, in violation of the U.N. arms embargo on Somalia. Somaliland has even taken custody of transferred Guantanamo detainees. The contrast with Somalia could not be starker. Somalia has been the subject of at least 16 reconciliation conferences, which have produced multiple interim or transitional governments. Both the United Nations and the African Union have deployed peacekeeping missions there in an effort to restore order, and the international community has expended millions of dollars to that end. In spite of all these efforts, no entity has exercised effective control over Somalia since Barre's ouster 20 years ago. Instead, an al-Qaida-linked militia, al-Shabbab, controls most of Mogadishu and the southern part of the country. Al-Shabbab is already responsible for one transnational terrorist attack -- the Kampala, Uganda, suicide bombings during the World Cup -- and has threatened additional such attacks. Al-Shabbab also reportedly shelters members of al-Qaida. At the same time, pirates based in Somalia ravage international shipping. According to the International Maritime Bureau, attacks attributed to Somalia-based pirates have increased steadily, from 111 in 2008, to 218 in 2009, to 219 in 2010. [Recognizing Somaliland's independence would not violate any international or regional norms governing state creation. State creation through secession is not prohibited in international law. State creation in Africa, however, is limited by the principle -- enshrined in the charter of the African Union -- that the borders inherited at decolonization are inviolable. Independence moves such as Eritrea's recognized secession from Ethiopia and South Sudan's ongoing split from Sudan have only been effected with the assent of the state from which those states have seceded. However, Somaliland is better viewed as the product of the dissolution of the Democratic Republic of Somalia than as a secession. Dissolution occurs when the central government of a state formed through the merger of separate, independent states, ceases to exert effective control over one or more of those erstwhile independent states. The Somali Republic -- later, the Democratic Republic of Somalia -- was born from the merger of the then-recently decolonized states of British Somaliland and Italian Somalia. Though Somaliland was only an independent state for five days before merging with Italian Somalia, what is important for the purposes of dissolution is that Somaliland was a separate colonial possession from Italian Somalia, and that British Somaliland achieved independence separately from Italian Somalia. The Democratic Republic of Somalia ceased exercising effective control over both Somaliland and what is now Somalia during the civil war that culminated in the ouster of Barre in 1991. While no governing entity has been able to establish effective control over Somalia, Somaliland's government has exercised exclusive, effective control over its territory for nearly 20 years. Importantly, because Somaliland has re-emerged, resuming the boundaries it inherited at decolonization, its independence does not offend the principle that Africa's post-colonial borders are inviolable. In fact, Somaliland's independence restores the frontiers of Somaliland and Somalia to their status at the moment of decolonization. Recognition of Somaliland will stand as an affirmation of the international community's commitment to democracy. It will also enhance the likelihood of Somaliland's survival and, with it, the contributions it makes to international security. Finally, because Somaliland's independence conforms to current international norms governing state creation, Western states will not set a new precedent justifying widespread African secession by recognizing Somaliland. It is time for the international community, particularly the United States, to to do just that. *Editor's note: The original version of this article incorrectly identified former Somali dictator Siad Barre as Sayid Barre.

Unionist cheerleaders doesn't understand Ethiopian wishes: Ethiopia wants to keep SL in union so than conflict between north and south can restart, if real government comes in Mogadishu. Ethiopia wants recycling Somali problems and not solution. their statement is "go fight again until Mogadishu accept existence of Somaliland like Adis accept Ereteria or Khartum accepts South Sudan. accepting each other is solution and forcing union is conflict formula

by Mohamed Obsiye [...] This central concern of this article is that the Union of Somalia was founded on the false dream of Greater-Somalism based on ethnicity and it simply existed not because of intrinsic values of its nationhood but because of its ‘Cold War Client’ status. The article raises serious questions about whether there was a nation-state in Somalia in the first place, and considers how the unswerving search for Greater-Somalism masked Somalia’s vulnerability as a nation-state. http://www.redsea-online.com/pdf/Mohamed_Obsiye-On_Somali_Union.pdf

Soldiers of fortune It is 18 years since America’s last soldier left Somalia. Africa has finally agreed to take care of the mess in the Horn of Africa in a country that has been in the grip of a murderous terrorist group whose leadership and rank and file is filled with child soldiers and teenagers. Uganda and Burundi are the only countries currently contributing troops to a peacekeeping mission in a conflict that has been made intractable by both internal politics and warlord benefiting from the war economy, and regional power interests. Al Shabaab, the dominant rebel militia now routinely threatens global sea lanes and a crucial choke point through which 70 per cent of all global oil exports pass. It is forging important links with Al Qaeda, the global terror franchise. So far, it has successfully staged two foreign attacks in Kampala and Nairobi. In the meantime, the balkanisation of Somalia is gathering pace with the establishment of Somaliland, Puntland, and soon Jubaland as peaceful, semi-automous enclaves that now seek international recognition as independent states. US President Barack Obama has also recently unveiled his much awaited “Duo-Track” Somalia policy dubbed that seeks to support both the feeble and deeply corrupt Transitional Federal Government (TFG) whose mandate is expiring in July 2011, and the semi-autonous states that want to break free. This is the same solution Kenya has been pushing with its Jubaland Initiative. It is in this context that a former special adviser on war crimes to former president George W. Bush, Pierre Prosper, and a former CIA deputy station chief in Mogadishu, Michael Shanklin have linked up with President Yoweri Museveni’s younger brother, who is also a retired Uganda general (Caleb Akwandanaho, alias Salim Saleh). Mr Saleh is an investor in Saracen International, a private military company outfit based in Uganda. There is even an “angel investor” rumoured to be a mysterious Middle East government that is funding the whole operation. Their plan is to do what the armies from the world’s only superpower and from the AU have failed to do: Empower the semi-autonomous state of Puntland to set up a 1,000 man commando unit to fight off pirates and secure its monopoly of the use of violence throughout its territory. The plan will also include training a presidential guard for the TFG. If these two pilot projects work, there is a possibility of scaling their operation throughout Somalia. According to security experts, the plan on paper could work, but in reality, a lot could go terribly wrong sparking an even deadlier wave of violence. These are the major worries. First, the involvement of a private military company (PMC) — let alone one associated with the brother of a president from the country contributing most troops — was not sanctioned by the AU. It may make member states uncomfortable, and it may enrage some like Somaliland which now feels threatened by its neighbour Puntland, and it may enrage Al Shaabab and the Somali populace which will interpret Salim Saleh’s and Uganda’s presence in their country as seeking to profit from their war. The EastAfrican has obtained confidential information to the effect that Saracen International started the training in Puntland without the approval from the AU, making its activities controversially parallel to the mandate of the AU Mission to Somalia, Amisom. Second, these developments also raise the question of how the UN and the AU sponsored peacekeeping mission will co-exist with private military companies. Third, and perhaps the most worrying, is the confluence of global energy politics, religion and a corporate army in Somalia in an already volatile conflict. Puntland is rich in oil and natural gas, and it is speculated that the entry of Saracen International is in return for concessions in oil exploration and extraction. E.J. Hogendoorn, a Nairobi-based analyst with the International Crisis Group told the Associated Press, “We don’t know if this unknown entity is operating in the interests of Somalis or their own self-interest. If it’s a company, there has to be a quid pro quo in terms of [oil and gas] concessions. If it’s a government, they are interested in changing the balance of power.” With the mandate of the Transitional Federal Government ending in July 2011, the emergence of an armed militia in Somalia is a source of concern for the stability of the Horn of Africa. The combination of a weak state, valuable natural resources, and a for-profit military corporation is a scenario that has played out before on the African continent with devastating consequences, and history threatens to repeat itself in Puntland. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, private military companies and defence contractors have played a growing role in the support of state armed forces, and in multilateral reconstruction strategies, such as in present-day Iraq. These types of firms are also critical in raising and maintaining levels of security in unstable but economically strategic areas of the world. Many states that had previously benefited from military aid found themselves in a precarious security situation at the end of the Cold War, requiring them to use PMCs to support their armed forces. These contracts have historically been financed by the often controversial extraction of natural resources. Mercenaries, PMCs, which? There is a thin line between PMCs and mercenaries. Ever since men have waged wars, there have always been soldiers of fortune willing to sell their services.
