Somaliland independence isn't easy. It has taken more than 30 years and might take a little longer even. It required a culimination of factors, both economic and security imperatives to finally get some traction where it is being discussed seriously in the places that can make it happen.

The real question should be why Somalia? The last place a country was recognized like this was in Yugoslavia which was disintegrating. Is Somalia disintegrated in all but name? Jubbaland and PL only nominally allied with the FGS, only accepting FGS money but nothing else.

If your state hasn't operated in Somaliland for more than 30 years, and has no real prospect of operating there again. Then the US can step in and recognize Somaliland to further their own interests. It's a dog eat dog world and you just played yourself.

If this goes through we can only thank the federalists of Somalia for making it possible, for resisting so powerfully their return of their state and by over estimating the value of their small foothold in eastern Somaliland.

I can't wait to see your reaction when this goes to the gutter. It's gonna be back to the drawing boars again for ictiraaf.

Somaliland should be recognized already. They are the only peaceful and democratic country in all of the horn. Let these peaceful people free

Ofc the President has final say on foreign policy however the FA committee can push forward legislation to the president to sign regarding foreign policy, they have wide reaching powers to help shape foreign policy ofc I wouldn't expect an illiterate like you to know that.
The Full Committee will be responsible for oversight and legislation relating to:

foreign assistance (including development assistance, Millennium Challenge Corporation, the Millennium Challenge Account, HIV/AIDS in foreign countries, security assistance, and Public Law 480 programs abroad);
the Peace Corps;
national security developments affecting foreign policy;
strategic planning and agreements;
war powers, treaties, executive agreements, and the deployment and use of United States Armed Forces;
peacekeeping, peace enforcement, and enforcement of United Nations or other international sanctions;
arms control and disarmament issues;
the United States Agency for International Development;
activities and policies of the State, Commerce and Defense Departments and other agencies related to the Arms Export Control Act, and the Foreign Assistance Act including export and licensing policy for munitions items and technology and dual-use equipment and technology;

and all other matters not specifically assigned to a subcommittee.
The Committee will have jurisdiction over legislation with respect to the administration of the Export Administration Act, including the export and licensing of dual-use equipment and technology and other matters related to international economic policy and trade not otherwise assigned to a subcommittee and with respect to the United Nations, its affiliated agencies and other international organizations, including assessed and voluntary contributions to such organizations. The Committee may conduct oversight with respect to any matter within the jurisdiction of the Committee as defined in the Rules of the House of Representatives.

Point being they can’t recognize anyone on their own right? Only the president can which is what I said. Stop writing novels on here kiddo.
