That is not true. When Ethiopia recognizes Somaliland it will have a domino effect the rest will follow. UAE, Kenya, Djoubuti will all recognize us within the same month.Your not going to get recognized ethiopia recognizing your independence will open a can of worms for ethiopia when they have their own secessionist and are hanging on by a thread.
We do not care if Ethiopia breaks into pieces like Somalia as long as we reach our goal.
We have a stronger and unique case to be recognized since SL is based on colonial borders and was once a recognized country.
