So far, it can be said to have failed on all accounts. #Ethiopia still exercizes caution as to military support and official recognition. A new secessionist movement appeared in the West, in relation with the project of an Ethiopian naval base. The MoU triggered a proxy war with former ally #Djibouti, which now supports both #SSCKhatumo and #Awdal secessionists. Khatumo forces recently launched a raid on Erigavo, in #Sanaag, contesting Somaliland’s continued control of its coastline.

#Somalia

Just a shoutout to AllSanaag.com, local news outlet in the area contested between #Somalia and self-proclaimed #Somaliland, for having the most epic OG web design I've seen in awhile.

#SSCKhatumo eventually routed #Somaliland’s army in August with the help of #Puntland — while their opponents were probably supported by #Djibouti. Their new administration has been recognized as the 6th region of #Somalia in October. It has struggled to fully control its claimed territory however, including #Ayn, Western #Sool, and the coast of #Sanaag.

#Dhulbahante clan elders, supported by their #Majerteen and #Warsangeli allies, decided that #Sool and #Sanaag should form a new administration (#SSCKhatumo) and reunite with #Somalia. Interestingly, they labeled #Somaliland actions a “#genocide”. #Ishaaq-dominated Somaliland also bases the legitimacy of its claim for independence on a genocide carried out by federal forces against the Ishaaq clan in the 1980's.
