Somaliland

with its brilliant record in building government

unique blend of traditional conflict resolving methods and
modern democracy, Somaliland has won international
admiration as Africa's Best Kept Secret.

 Coping
with Humpty Dumpty by J.Peter Pham:
My point is that U.S. interests in the critical regions like
the Horn of Africa require security and stability, neither
of which will be achieved by shoring up inherently
illegitimate and, in fact, destabilizing regimes constructed
at some international conference center. If one seeks the
domestication into international society of the former
Somalia, recognize well-deserving (and de facto independent)
Somaliland....

Somalia
May Save the War on Terrorism By J. Peter Pham:
As I have repeatedly argued (see,
for example, my July 20, 2006, column), the northwestern
Republic of Somaliland has not only avoided the maelstrom
that has swept the rest of the territory, but it is
democratic, economically and politically viable, and
strategically important—and for all these reasons deserves
international recognition. As for the rest of the former
Somali Democratic Republic, it would be far less a threat to
outsiders and far more legitimate to its inhabitants if its
component parts were allowed to each go their own separate
ways rather than have the international community impose an
utterly artificial “national authority” on it.

The
threats of the Islamists should not sidetrack Somaliland
The leaders of the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) have

account of the realities on the ground in Somaliland.

Somaliland,
the Horn of Africa and US Policy By David H. Shinn remarks
made at the Somaliland Convention, September 8, 2006
Somaliland continues to be frustrated by
the issue of non-recognition. I commented last year in Los
Angeles that the key to Somaliland’s recognition remains
with the African Union. It is a political and not a legal
issue. This continues to be my position. But there has been
progress on this front. The report of the AU Fact-Finding
Mission to Somaliland in the spring of 2005 said that the
union between Somaliland and Somalia was never ratified and
also malfunctioned when it went into action from 1960 to
1990.

Somaliland's plight -- The Washington Times
By Geoff Hill
The United States and former colonial power, Britain, could
take the first step, but believe, correctly, that Africa
should take the lead. However, it is time Washington and
London opened debate about Somaliland in the United Nations.
If America wants to see the growth of freedom and democracy
around the world, what better way than to stand up for a
country that has shown how both can be achieved, not in
Europe, but in one of the world's toughest neighborhoods.

regard to the Somalia issue and has now been supplanted in
any negotiating role by the Arab League.

 Machinations

The United Nations, The Secretariat of the

Peace-keeping’

Ioan Lewish!:‘Poor ex-Italian Somalia!. When it is

so-called peace-making, producing virtual governments which
are incapable of governing and, manifestly have no public

Warning : Somalia by Rene Wadlow:As the

The 54th state? Jean-Jacques Cornish
Somaliland has always claimed a legal case for
going it alone; it is not secessionist, merely an independent
country that has broken a union with another of similar
status. And there is plenty of precedent for that in Africa.
It is Somaliland’s relative success that is winning its
quest for recognition. |
From
World Defense Review: Strategic Interests by J. Peter Pham,
Ph.D., Facing Reality in Somalia:
At the edge of that Greater Middle East, the
people of Somaliland have made their choice for political
independence and democratic progress. While they have stumbled
occasionally along the way, their efforts deserve
encouragement through the appropriate economic, political, and
security cooperation – which, in turn, will anchor
Somaliland within America's orbit as well as international
society. |
 Another
country: Somaliland is a beacon of
stability in Africa but lack of international recognition is
holding it back, writes Xan Rice
Recently, the AU has made some very positive noises. Last year
it sent a delegation to Somaliland, and the team concluded
that the claim for recognition was "historically unique
and self-justified in African political history. As such, the
AU should find a special method of dealing with this
outstanding case." |

Independent
Diplomat (ID) is supporting the government
of Somaliland - an unsung home-grown
democracy in one of the poorest and most
troubled regions of Africa - with the
development of its diplomacy. 
Somaliland
an African Succes Story: Undermining Somaliland sadly also
undermines the goals of promoting poverty alleviation, peace,
stability, and good governance in Africa. Failure to recognise
Somaliland would be a great discredit to human rights and to
democracy itself, and would destroy the hard-won stability that
Somaliland enjoys today.
While
world attention is focused on stabilizing Mogadicio, Somaliland
commonly referred to as “ Africa’s best kept secret” is taking
long strides not only in establishing good relations with its
neighbours but in forging ahead with the democratization process.
Parliamentary elections, the first in the history of this new entity
since, it reclaimed its independence in 1991”, are scheduled to
take place in mid September 2005. In this edition, we take a look at
one of the “unrecognized countries” in the world.
