New York Times Says Somaliland Has the Strongest Case to be Recognized

[Jacaylbaro]

Western diplomats say Somaliland probably has the strongest case to be recognized as a nation, because it is the most democratic part of Somalia and is

an oasis of stability in the war-ravaged country

. This summer, Somaliland

held a legitimate election

in which the incumbent president lost and gracefully handed over power to the opposition, a rarity in Africa considering the disputed elections in Ivory Coast, Kenya, Zimbabwe and elsewhere.

Somaliland representatives were in Juba, trying to buttonhole Western and African dignitaries and plead for recognition of Somaliland. “I’m encouraged,” said Abdillahi M. Duale, a former Somaliland government minister, who met with Mr. Mbeki this past week. “What’s happening here in South Sudan is going to help us.”

Former Minister of Foreign Affairs Abdullahi Mohamed Duale is right, what is happening in South Sudan will be an encouragement for Somaliland to

follow its aspirations.

same old same.

 

 

South Sudan is a bad analogy for Somaliland's case. Somaliland will remain part of Somalia.

That Somaliland is going to be recognized as an independent state is a fact the question is when.
