An Open Letter To The Security Council, The African Union, The European Union And IGAD.
July 8, 2022 - Written by qoriadminRef: SSE/DK-85/07072019 7th July 2019. It Is Frustrating The Political Stability In Somaliland. We Are Confident That You, As One Of The Key Stakeholders Involved In The Peace-Making And Peace-Keeping Efforts In The Region Are Familiar With The Different Historical Trajectories Of The Two Countries. Somaliland’s Claim For Independence Is Based Primarily On Historical Title – Its Separate Colonial History, A Brief Period Of Independence In 1960, The Fact That It Voluntarily Entered Into Its Disastrous Union With Somalia And The Questionable Legitimacy Of The 1960 Act Of Union. Somaliland’s Independence As A Sovereign State Was Acknowledged by Over 30 Countries (in the case of the United Kingdom through Entry Into International Agreements With Somaliland as two states, which were (and are still) registered with UN under Article 102 of the UN Charter. These Agreements were specifically confirmed in both versions18 of the Act/law of Union of Somaliland and Somalia which both Confirm Somaliland and Somalia as Independent states. 2. Somaliland Territory Somaliland’s Independence restores the Colonial Borders of the former British Protectorate of Somaliland and therefore does not violate the Principle of Uti Possidetis – that former colonial borders should be maintained upon independence – which is enshrined in the Consultative Act of the African Union (Session in Cairo, UAR, from 17 to 21 July 1964). 3. Somaliland statehood Somaliland fulfils all the criteria for statehood as those set by the 1933 Montevideo Convention,“The State as a person of international law should possess the following qualifications”: (a) A Permanent Population; It is dim because instead of coming to terms with the factuality that Somaliland has left the 1960 dubious union, Somalia continues to put ratifying its draft constitution and completing its state institution building on the back burner. 5. Our Message To The International Stakeholders (b) We Express our concerns that if Somalia continues with its sinister plans to spoil the peace and stability Somaliland has achieved without support from the international community by pitting Somaliland communities against one an other, or by derailing our economic progress, the security of the wider region of the Horn of Africa and the Gulf of Aden will be comprised. Yours Sincerely,
