Somaliland fought for recognition for over 30 years, and it never got it by wishful thinking. It got this far through persistence, strategy, diplomacy, and political engagement — building its own institutions, holding elections, maintaining peace and stability, and consistently presenting its case to the world even when the world refused to listen. Its journey proves that recognition is not given to those who only hope for it, but to those who keep working for it, year after year, without giving up. That is the same road BRGIE must walk: long, difficult, but worth pursuing until the goal is achieved.
Dr. Jendayi Elizabeth Frazer, who served as Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs under President George W. Bush, has publicly stated that one of her principal regrets in office was not pressing more vigorously for 🇺🇸 United States recognition of the Republic of Somaliland.

2/Claiming the terrorist SSC who only live in las anood can change ratified borders is against the African Union 1963. advocating for a place run my abdi modobe accoding to the UNSC 2025.
Lastly I challenge you to show us documents that sates Somalia gained independence!
1/Poor journalism firstly declear independence when you've gained independence on 26th June 1960 and there has never been a legal union only illegal occupation which SL foght against since 1961!
Our former Ministry of info @AliHassanMoham is told the truth. SL government tried to expose @IlhanMN actions was Catastrophic, intel leaking and damaging the US gov but Biden administration was pleasing her too much giving all her shady Somalian associate community leaders in MN
Letting Ilhan back the foreign affairs committee will lead leaking US intel to turk & 3rd word's. She spent her previous time targeting Somalilanders, Kenyans & Ethiopians to look for for ways to enrich pushing fake "Fashist greater Somalian expansionist"

Our case for recognition is grounded in history, international law, and the principle of state continuity, not secession or the creation of a new nation.
On 26 June 1960, British Somaliland gained independence and became a sovereign state.
Just five days later, on 1 July 1960, it entered into an illegal union with Somalia. The "union" was never properly ratified, raising serious questions about its legal validity. With UN involvement, Somaliland’s sovereignty was absorbed into the Somali state.
After decades of oppression and the collapse of Somalia’s government, Somaliland restored its independence within its original 1960 borders in 1991.
For 35 years, it has built democratic institutions, held competitive elections and achieved peaceful transfers of power.
Somaliland is not seeking to create a new country. It is seeking recognition of the sovereignty it had before the illegal union. Its history, borders and democratic record speak for themselves.

@_hudsonc The article's analysis is incomplete. It overlooks Somaliland's distinct history, its independence in 1960, and its separate political trajectory. Somaliland cannot simply be absorbed into Somalia's political narrative when analysing the Horn of Africa.
