Recognition of Somaliland

Additional Information

*We believe in the right of self-determination for all nations who wish it.


*We believe that the international community should recognise nations who decide to assert this right.


Therefore:


***WE DEMAND THAT THE UNITED KINGDOM FORMALLY RECOGNISE SOMALILAND***


-Somaliland is a thriving democracy, a success story in hard circumstances. Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991. Yet the United Kingdom will not recognise its former colony's right to independence (note: Somaliland was a British colony, the rest of Somalia was not). Somalilanders do not deserve to have their democratic project threatened due to lack of recognition by foreign governments.


-We demand that the British Government recognise Somaliland as an independent state.
