It is also often unjust as the case of Somaliland proves.<BR/><BR/>Nearly 20 new countries have been allowed to emerge in Europe over the last eighteen years most of them with far less historic or legal claim to nationhood than Somaliland.<BR/><BR/>No wonder Somalilanders feel aggrieved and bitterly accuse the world of being institutionally racist.<BR/><BR/>AhmedAhmed Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066944569383915895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414025411716568353.post-80372860573911731222008-01-06T12:12:00.000-05:002008-01-06T12:12:00.000-05:00My thanks to Rooble Mohamed for his thoughtful rem...My thanks to Rooble Mohamed for his thoughtful remarks.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps world governance would be improved if we had a set of principles to guide decisions about which groups desiring independence will be allowed to have it.

The region is in chaos and Somaliland is the only survivor for the moment. <BR/><BR/>Yes, Somaliland has the right to win the recognition becuase it controls its borders with Somalia, Ethiopia and Djibouti, and because it existed in 1960 before the union with Somalia.Rooble Mohamedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818625406239137104noreply@blogger.com
