Somaliland should be recognised

Publication Date: 2007/12/20

Reports that the Bush administration is seriously considering recognising Somaliland are most welcome.

Without a doubt, Somaliland is a an oasis of stability in a sea of anarchic Somali politics.
Moreover, Somaliland is an important partner in the war on terror.
Somaliland is a democracy and should be rewarded by being afforded international recognition.
I appeal to the US Government to lead the rest of the world by doing so.

I urge the US to ignore those who are against Somaliland. They have no moral right to poke noses into the affairs of Somaliland.

The warlords posing as elected leaders command very little support from their own people.

Hargeisa, Somaliland.
