If they actually tried, then they could. I don’t know why you guys didn’t ask the UN to move the capital to the second city Hargeisa in the late 90s and early 2000s. The UN would of probably said yes because Xamar was a warlord city. The whole power structure of the country could of changed.
somalilands goal is to leave somalia thats why they didn't try that .but instead why didn't puntland move the capital to garowe or bossaso ???
