Mintid Farayar Posted January 19, 2012 Contrary to what many claim in this Forum, no gov't is recognized internationally by most countries in the former Somalia. The major powers have made this clear in many statements. Here's a statement from the U.S. State Dept.: The United States supports the efforts of the TFG to establish a viable central government, see Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of State, Remarks with Somali Transitional Federal Government President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed (Aug. 6, 2009) , but does not recognize the TFG as the sovereign government of Somalia. The United States does continue to recognize the State of Somalia http://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/publishing/preview/publiced_preview_briefs_pdfs_09_10_08_1555_AffirmanceAmCuUSA.authcheckdam.pdf Page 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carafaat Posted January 19, 2012 And this has been the case for the last 20years. In fact the whole reason behind the roadplan and the Garowe Conference is t establish a recongnized goverment, that has acces to funds and can cooperate without donors mandate. So, in fact we all want recongnition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
