#Somaliland has announced however it intends to bypass Mogadiscio for donor aid. This, combined with a military assault on #Sool, could jeopardize any hope for Somali-Somaliland talks in the short to medium term.

The #Ethiopia-#Somaliland MoU has in part been a desperate gambit by Somaliland president Muse Bihi Abdi to regain legitimacy and hang on to power, and in part an attempt at rebuilding Somaliland’s army to retake #LasAnod. Hargeisa regularly boasted that they would retake the unionist region and the time when they will try again seems near. Troops have been deployed around Oog in Western #Sool, roughly at the boundary between #Ishaaq and #Dhulbahante territory
#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.
