It is important to note that the issue of Somaliland’s territorial

integrity and sovereignty is a complex and contested matter and shame

to blame Puntland administration is fueling the fair by using terribly

motivated war to annexation of the Sool region of Somaliland

Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991, following the

collapse of the Somali state. Since then, Somaliland has been

operating as a de facto state, with its own government, military, and

currency. However, Somaliland’s sovereignty is not recognized by the

international community, including the African Union and the United

Nations.

The Somaliland government has been working to assert its authority

over its claimed territory and to gain recognition as a sovereign

state. It has held democratic elections and implemented its own legal

system, and it has also established diplomatic relations with several

countries and international organizations. Additionally, the

Somaliland government has been working to secure its borders and

protect its citizens from security threats.

Overall, it is important to recognize the complexity of the issue and

the different perspectives involved. It is up to the international

community to determine the status of Somaliland’s sovereignty, and to

engage in constructive dialogue with the Somaliland government and

other stakeholders to find a peaceful and sustainable resolution to

the matter.

The Las-Anod region, located in the Sool province, has been a point of

contention between Puntland and Somaliland for many years. Puntland

claims that the region belongs to its Harti clan or tribes, while

Somaliland maintains that the region is part of its sovereign

territory. The dispute has resulted in occasional clashes between the

two sides.

The African Union recognizes the boundaries of the former British

Somaliland Protectorate as the basis for Somaliland’s territorial

integrity. However, Puntland does not recognize this, and there have

been allegations of violations of territorial integrity by both sides.

There have also been reports of tribal and clan affiliations playing a

role in the conflict, with some analysts suggesting that these factors

have contributed to the tensions in the region.

Overall, it is important to recognize the complexity of the situation

and the different perspectives involved. It is up to the international

community to engage in constructive dialogue with both Puntland and

Somaliland and to work towards a peaceful and sustainable resolution

to the conflict before it’s too late
