The Isaaq diaspora actively lobbies and pushes Somaliland’s claims, while the Warsangeli and Dhulbahante diaspora remain inactive. Since the MJ diaspora stepped back in 2023, no one has filled the void, allowing Somaliland’s narrative to dominate. Now, maps like OpenStreetMap recognize Sool as Somaliland territory, and lobbying efforts continue reinforcing this claim despite military defeat.
If this inaction continues, Somaliland’s version will become the accepted global reality. Warsangeli and Dhulbahante must create media content, engage lobbyists, and coordinate efforts or risk losing autonomy in the international arena.
