@solassefa@AbeardedGOAT 3- Would you support that too?
East Africa needs economic integration, trade corridors, and shared development through bodies like the EAC or IGAD, not more small, vulnerable states that could weaken collective progress and invite external interference.
@solassefa@AbeardedGOAT 2-and leading to further fragmentationโpotentially destabilizing the region with more conflicts.This won't stop at Somaliland. If one breakaway region succeeds, why not others? Imagine if a region in Ethiopia like Oromia or Tigray demanded the same independence and recognition.
@solassefa@AbeardedGOAT 1..Recognizing Somaliland's independence may seem positive for its stability, but it risks triggering a dangerous chain reaction across East Africa. The African Union and many states oppose it precisely because it could set a precedent, encouraging other secessionist movements.
