Do the Somalis from the former Italian-Somaliland protectorate have any rights in celebrating 26 June or claiming it to be as their own?

This is very lazy question.

It was a joyful day for all Somali speaking people in the horn when Somaliland gained independence on 26 june. Somalis in the Abyssinian territory were celebrating. So i dont see why Somalis of Somalia cant celebrate.

Because they're haters. But I thought the independence came on 18th May?

^^ No independence was achieved on 26 june.. 18 may was when the Somaliland statehood was reinstated

The people deserve to celebrate it more than SOmalians deserve to celebrate 1st of July, which I think is disgusting. Half the country is in refugee camps. Shabab fighting Kenyans/Ethiopians/Ugandans. Starvation.

 

And people spend thousands on some meaningless celebration.

Well Somaliland after 53 years has a functioning state and a goverment and 26 june will continue to be celebrated although unfortunately statehood wasn't achieved on 26 June but we have it today
