It is important to note that the issue of Somaliland’s territorial
integrity and sovereignty is a complex and contested matter and shame
to blame Puntland administration is fueling the fair by using terribly
motivated war to annexation of the Sool region of Somaliland
Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991, following the
collapse of the Somali state. Since then, Somaliland has been
operating as a de facto state, with its own government, military, and
currency. However, Somaliland’s sovereignty is not recognized by the
international community, including the African Union and the United
Nations.
The Somaliland government has been working to assert its authority
over its claimed territory and to gain recognition as a sovereign
state. It has held democratic elections and implemented its own legal
system, and it has also established diplomatic relations with several
countries and international organizations. Additionally, the
Somaliland government has been working to secure its borders and
protect its citizens from security threats.
Overall, it is important to recognize the complexity of the issue and
the different perspectives involved. It is up to the international
community to determine the status of Somaliland’s sovereignty, and to
engage in constructive dialogue with the Somaliland government and
other stakeholders to find a peaceful and sustainable resolution to
the matter.
The Las-Anod region, located in the Sool province, has been a point of
contention between Puntland and Somaliland for many years. Puntland
claims that the region belongs to its Harti clan or tribes, while
Somaliland maintains that the region is part of its sovereign
territory. The dispute has resulted in occasional clashes between the
two sides.
The African Union recognizes the boundaries of the former British
Somaliland Protectorate as the basis for Somaliland’s territorial
integrity. However, Puntland does not recognize this, and there have
been allegations of violations of territorial integrity by both sides.
There have also been reports of tribal and clan affiliations playing a
role in the conflict, with some analysts suggesting that these factors
have contributed to the tensions in the region.
Overall, it is important to recognize the complexity of the situation
and the different perspectives involved. It is up to the international
community to engage in constructive dialogue with both Puntland and
Somaliland and to work towards a peaceful and sustainable resolution
to the conflict before it’s too late
