If Taiwan failed to get a seat in the united nation with its geopolitical importance, international awareness and resources, how do you think Somaliland can make it through and all of us know how Somaliland state depends totally on international community support combined with Tax revenues.

A super-power like China is avoiding Taiwan to get their independence. The case is different....

China argues that Taiwan is part of China Republic.

Taiwan

 

China ’s prosperous “renegade province” was once recognized by most of the world as the rightful government of the Middle Kingdom. Now, though, the Republic of China is officially recognized by just two dozen other states, and that number continues to shrink.

 

Why it will become a state: President Chen Shui-bian has assured the public that he will not make any unilateral declarations of independence, but he has never been on cozy terms with Beijing, and he comes from a party with a traditionally pro-independence stance. His success in the 2000 and 2004 elections largely reflects support for independence among the Taiwanese people, most of whom are from a different ethnic group than the mainlanders and don’t wish to be ruled from Beijing.

Why it won't : China simply will not allow it. Maintaining Taiwan under Beijing’s sovereignty—even if not under its direct control—is seen as a vital security interest by the Chinese leadership, and they would not hesitate to take military action to protect this interest.

 

Odds : Poor. As China gets stronger and stronger, the tide continues to move against Taiwanese independence. Sooner or later, partnership with Beijing will make more sense than hostility, and Taiwan will accept autonomous status, much like Hong Kong has. And at that point, if you happen to live in Panama, Paraguay, Palau, or another of the few states that still extend recognition to Taipei, you especially will need a new atlas that reflects Beijing’s authority over the island.

 

 

Somaliland

 

Since declaring independence from Somalia in 1991, this former British protectorate has stayed free of the violence and mayhem that has plagued the rest of the country over the past 16 years. Meanwhile, Somaliland has developed its own government, army, and currency; all it lacks is recognition from the rest of the world.

 

Why it will become a state: Somaliland’s de facto independence is hard to ignore. The territory has been a model of stability in a chaotic region for over a decade and a half, and most Somalilanders have left the possibility of unity behind them.

 

Why it won't: Southern Somalis are still attached to the idea of a united Somali Republic, so the recognition of Somaliland by the international community would likely lead to greater instability in the South and possibly war. Hence, there isn’t much reason for third-party states to extend recognition.

 

Odds: : Very good. But don’t count on it happening any time soon. The African Union and other international bodies plan to establish peace and stability in the South first and worry about the status of Somaliland later.

Who is this anonymous diplomat? Riyaale or Meles? Since when UN delegated its press releases to Geeska Africa sources?
