"Nations are moving quickly to recognize Puntland, which became the world's newest independent country on Saturday.
A Somali newspaper, Hiiraan, reports that at least 15 countries have recognized Puntland so far, including major world powers such as the United States, Britain, Russia and China.
U.S. President Barack Obama was among the first to extend recognition Saturday. In a statement, he said the United States "welcomes the birth of a new nation" and will be a partner to Puntland as they undertake the hard work of building their country.
Statements of recognition also came from British Prime Minister, Russian President, and the leaders of India, Israel, Kenya, and France."
Edit: This is progress. This is good.
Fk it, I see I'm not skilled enough in the click-bait field like Menace...
