I dont get this argument? Even if I give u the benefit of the doubt having foreign bases means nothing really. Germany the most influntial European country has a US base financed by german tax payers.
The matter of the fact is that Somaliland is not a recognized country therefore it does not enjoy privileges that recognized countrys enjoy. U can larp as country another 14 decades it will not change anything. A recognized country can control its airspace, it can invite all living creatures to build a military base, it can fight off terrorist, it can even host them. Nothing will change that.
"Somalia does not controll SL" is also such a dumb statement because it begs the question what the alternatives are. Do u really want the FGS to take control with force do u guys really want bloodshed AGAIN?
Look as soon as SL gets their recognition ill gladly stfu. Until then SL is part of Somalia if u like it or not
The argument around Somaliland comes down to the condition of the Somali Government.
Independence has historically always required the permission of the state being divided but the state of Somalia after 30 years and the relative stability and success of Somaliland is causing people to become indifferent to Somalia's case and thinking about bending the rules.
The prognosis of FGS is poor and there's no path to success so why not recognize Somaliland. Somaliland just needs to keep knocking on doors and making the case.
They should even adjust the rules to accomodate for long term state failure - it makes sense and is fair but it's a subjective test.
The FGS is not a position to take the south let alone Somaliland so keep your barbarism to yourself.
