T he Diplomatic Evolution of Somaliland: Initiating Legal Action Against Somalia in the International Court of Justice In the intricate geopolitical landscape of the Horn of Africa, one entity stands out with a unique diplomatic trajectory: Somaliland. Despite not being internationally recognized as an autonomous state, Somaliland has skillfully navigated the complex world of diplomacy, carving out its place on the global stage. This article delves into Somaliland's diplomatic journey, highlighting its successes, obstacles, and prospects. Historical Background Somaliland declared independence in 1991 after the collapse of Somalia's central government, setting itself apart from its turbulent neighbor. As a de facto sovereign entity, Somaliland has built functional institutions, governance structures, and a security apparatus. Despite maintaining relative stability and peace, Somaliland faces the challenge of lacking international recognition, which hinders its participation ...

صوماليلاند.. عدم الاعتراف الدولي لا يحجب ثقل التأثير منذ إعلانها الاستقلال نهائيًا عن الصومال في 1991، كانت صوماليلاند محط أنظار قوى إقليمية، عربية وإفريقية على السواء، رغم عدم حصولها حتى الآن على الاعتراف الدولي. وساهمت تجربة الانفصال بالاعتماد الكلي على المبادرات المحلية، بعيدًا عن أي تدخلات أجنبية في بناء المؤسسات وتداول السلطة من خلال انتخابات حرة دون انتظار القروض أو المنح الدولية، فضلاً عن القدرة على فرض الأمن والاستقرار وتجاوز الحرب الأهلية وتجنب التطرف والإرهاب، في جذب الاستثمارات وتدافع القوى الإقليمية في الشرق الأوسط وشرق إفريقيا، على الإقليم الواقع على حافة القرن الإفريقي. اهتمام إقليمي  ___________ على مدار الأشهر الماضية، كان لصوماليلاند دور في التجاذبات على صعيد الملفات المشتعلة، سواء في إفريقيا مثل ملف سد النهضة، أو حتى الدخول على خط الأزمة بين الصين وتايوان بإقامة علاقات دبلوماسية رسمية مع الأخيرة رغم اعتراض بكين. دخول صوماليلاند والتي تُعرف أيضًا بـ “أرض الصومال”، على خط أزمة سد النهضة، بدأ مع إعلان نيتها الدخول كوسيط في المفاوضات، وهو ما كشفت عنه إثيوبيا على لسان ...

The world did not consider whether you fulfilled or the LEGAL CASE of statehood, which are: 1. A permanent population The Republic of Somaliland has a population of approximately 3.5 million. Its capital Hargeisa has a permanent estimated at 1.1 million. The nomadic nature of many of Somaliland’s inhabitants, and the consequent flow of the population in and out of the territory, has no impact on the legal definition of permanent population. 2. A defined territory The British protectorate established clearly defined borders for Somaliland by treaties in the 19th century. These borders were confirmed upon Somaliland’s declaration of independence in 1960. The contestation of the eastern border does not invalidate statehood. 3. Effective government Somaliland has a central government which exercises effective control over the majority of its territory. It has held internationally recognized free and fair election, most recently in June 2010, and has effective government institutions ...

THE LEGAL CASE Historical case Somaliland’s claim for independence is based primarily on historical title – its separate colonial history, a brief period of independence in 1960, the fact that it voluntarily entered into its unhappy union with Somalia and the questionable legitimacy of the 1960 Act of Union. Somaliland’s independence restores the colonial borders of the former British Protectorate of Somaliland and therefore does not violate the principle of uti possidetis – that former colonial borders should be maintained upon independence – which is enshrined in the Consultative Act of the African Union. The separation of fused states into their former territories has precedents in Africa: Egypt and Syria were joined as the United Arab Republic (1958 – 1971). Senegal and Mali were united as the Fédération du Mali (1959 – 1960). Senegal and Gambia were merged in the Sénégambia Confederation (1982 – 1989). Eritrea officially separated from Ethiopia in 1993. Britain granted and recogn...

The youth force is an invaluable asset of the nation. The youth is not only a vital source of the state but also a change agent. The youths are pioneers of economic, social, political and cultural transformation and change driving force.

“If we are to be true statesmen, we must take into account the needs, desires and the ambitions of the generations for whom we plan our development. No architect would build a house without consulting the wishes of those who live in it, and designing the house to their way of life.” (Tunku Abdul Rahman, first Prime Minister of Malaysia, at the Asia-Pacific Youth Seminar, 1991) in the flowing video is during my visit to the all Somaliland Regions for the Somaliland National Youth Policy Campaign https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIxGde_KywY

Youth policy Young people in all countries are both a major human resource for development and key agents for social change, economic development and technological innovation.

How to Build a Positive Attitude Negative thoughts can affect you mentally and physically. There's no such thing as a too positive attitude, and these are steps that might help.

afrol News, 5 June - The support of the new Somaliland Constitution and thereby independence in last week's referendum was almost universal. As the self-declared independent Somaliland government of northwestern Somalia published the final results, it showed over 97 percent had voted in support. As the new constitution in its first paragraph contains the clause, which confirms Somaliland's independence, the referendum indirectly, also was about this issue. Somaliland declared unilateral independence in May 1991, but has so far received no overt international recognition. Somaliland draws its independence claims from the fact that Italian and British Somalia were two separate colonies, and that Somaliland was independent before entering into a union with (Italian) Somalia in 1960. Abdi Idris Du'ale, press secretary to Somaliland's President Muhammad Ibrahim Egal, yesterday said that the results were announced at a ceremony in the Somaliland parliament, and will be off...
