why would you give away your power freely?I agree lakin Puntland doesn't independence. How come Somaliland is used but Ethiopia doesn't recognize you?The only force that is truley independant from ethiopia is al shabaab.
The lack of recognition gives ethiopia the upper hand and makes somaliland more dependant on them, its a sweet deal for them.
Tiny Djibouti has a close relationship with ethiopia, but Djibouti has the upper hand in the relationship becuase of its strategic resource i.e Djibouti port.
and its recognized independant status.
