Somalia has been embroiled in civil war for years now. The recent recognition of Somaliland by the entity, and the ongoing genocide in Sudan are both supported by the Gulf as well. I’m thinking that this is trying to push Somalia to de jure balkanization with the express goal being the destabilization of the horn. I’d like to hear others’ thoughts on this.

    There is currently only one recognized African country, Ethiopia, that recognizes Somaliland. Why only one African country? Because the others are afraid that a reevaluation of borders at best gets you something like the Partition of India at best and at worst gets you war between two countries.

    This isn’t white man’s burden shit.
