Somaliland only exist because somalia has fallen once it rises back up no fms or break away region will disrespect our national security. And i hope it will happen soon for the sake of our young population.
Somalia is welcome to try and subjugate Somaliland again - the 30 years of horror, it is undergoing now, will be nothing compared to when we open the gates of hell on them.
Not everyone is onboard hence why villa hargeisa needs to bribe some tribal leaders to keep certain territories in line.
If you really think that is what keeping Somaliland together you are in for a surprise.

By having an relationship with taiwan you guys already fucked it up. China has veto powers in the un. Which means you can only now become an independent sovereign nation if you can bargain with them and they already have an historic alliance with xamar.
An african country can get this out of a relationship from Taiwan and China.
China = Debt-trap diplomacy.
Taiwan = development/win-win/learn a man to fish and he will feed himself.
The chain effect is logical. Africa is filled with ethnic tribes that are split in two nations or more. Nigeria is an great example. The "mombasa republic" is another example.
If that was the case, why did it not happen when South Sudan seceded from Sudan? it even when against the African Union charter on borders.
