World Politics Review published on 8 June 2021 an analysis titled "Somaliland's Moment of Reckoning" by Matthew Gordon, University of London.
The author argues that after 30 years of self-declared independence from Somalia but no international recognition, Somaliland is too well-established to ignore and its people are as devoted to self-determination as ever. The international community can choose to embrace this reality or maintain its hands-off approach.
