Somaliland unlikely to gain independence

[Xposed83]

In a declassified cabinet meeting about the decolonisation of African colonies, the British government stated that British Somaliland was 'never likely to gain full independence'.
This was reiterated twice by the British government, in 1954 and 1956.

In 1949, the British government stated that while large colonies could be independent and have thriving economies and smaller colonies could form federations with larger colonies. The colony of British Somaliland 'must remain for the foreseeable future under British rule'.


In a peer-reviewed article by The English Historical Review:

By May of 1960, British Colonial Secretary, Ian Maclead officially stated that Britain was about to grant independence to Somaliland protectorate so that it can unite with Italian Somaliland (Somalia), which was scheduled to become a sovereign state on July 1, 1960. The secretary made his announcement while Somaliland leaders were in London for talks on a constitution.

None of it matters and you are not semi recognized. All you can do is keep stalling for the inevitable

[SuldaanOfSanaag]

Don't worry about Somaliland as it runs it's affair with out interference from outside. But do worry about Somalia little independence it's got.

Somaliland controls more territory then mogdishu does
Somalia is at the mercy of foreign militants and army and needs to regain control other wise you will still be typing all this nonsense.
