Why the USA Should Not Recognize Somaliland

[Deeq A.]

Since they declared their secession from Somalia in May 1991, the one-clan secessionist enclave calling itself Somaliland has left no stones unturned for 30 years to get recognized. But until now. it has to contend itself with recognition from Taiwan, another renegade entity from China. The enclave sees at last a breakthrough, hoping to capitalize on the cold war hotting up between East and West. The USA is not happy to see Chines getting one up on them in Djibouti and wants another place, Berbera, all to their own, possibly in return for recognition. Having been shunned for decades, the enclave is only too happy to oblige the super power.
