It looks like Somaliland was already a country (5 days) even before some of us were born
Good riddance!
Why does Somaliland even need a blessing from Somalia to be a country or a recognition by the Oromuma/OPDO/PP junkies?
It looks like just a bad marriage of two countries without binding singed document and Somaliland said I quit. Nullified the marriage and enjoying the most beautiful democratic governance in HoA! A lot better than our cousins in Eritrea or Ethnically fragmented Ethiopia
It is a crime not to recognize Somaliland as a country and allow to dance whoever it wants to dance with!
We asked: βDid Somaliland and Somalia unify legally in 1960?β
ChatGPT says:
No, Somaliland and Somalia did not unify legally in 1960. In 1960, Somaliland, which was a British protectorate, gained independence on June 26, and the former Italian colony of Somalia (known as Italian Somaliland) gained independence on July 1. They then merged to form the Somali Republic on July 1, 1960.
While this union was recognized internationally and led to the establishment of the Somali Republic, the legal and political specifics of this merger are complex. Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 following the collapse of the Somali government, and it is not widely recognized as a separate state but considers itself a sovereign entity.
