Interestingly, while WikiTravel says that independent travel to Mogadishu (Somalia's capital) will almost certainly get you killed, it lists Hargeisa (Somaliland's capital) as a safe and peaceful city, and has no downsides besides there being very little to see. It's not often that the secessionist region of a country is the safest part of it.
@DylanRoberts7
@DylanRoberts7 Год назад
Yup it is a fairly rare occurrence but it's one of the main reasons Somaliland broke away. Southern Somalia is a failed state at this point. Although visiting Mogadishu won't actually 'certainly get you killed', it's quite dangerous nonetheless. You can see some travel vlogs from Mogadishu but you definitely won't be wandering the streets without armed security.

I will note, though, that the wikitravel article on somalia/mogadishu is an unreliable source. a friend of mine showed it to me the other day and it's pretty clearly not something that should be taken as gospel. it's written like the early days of Wikipedia when random notable articles could be easily messed with by anyone with a keyboard.

Since Ethiopia has turned into a failed state itself, this doesn't mean as much for Somaliland as it would have maybe 5 years ago. 5 years ago, Ethiopia still had a lot of influence, credibility, and economic prospect. Back then, this decision would have gotten a lot of African and maybe some European countries on Somaliland's side. But now, I doubt other countries will follow suit, especially because Ethiopia is only doing this to gain leverage again Eritrea. I also want to visit Somaliland one day.

Taiwan is an interesting case, because it - or at least, its present leadership - doesn't WANT to be recognised as independent from China. It wants to be recognised as... being IN CHARGE of China. Because it used to be. Taiwan is a remnant of the original pre-revolution Chinese government.

That's not true at all. It has done and continues to do many crimes towards its own inhabitants and nearby cities they attack, understand they are absolutely involved in the somali civil war. somaliland is a clannist state that has abused minority groups for years. not only do they abuse and do crimes to other somali clans, but other ethnic groups are horribly mistreated. a few months ago they had forced an exodus of bantu people living in their cities and many mothers were separated from their kids. they are a facist state that the majority of its own inhabitants don't consider actually independent. not long ago they literally took a city from somalia itsself, they are a belligerent and violent force. if they wanted peaceful seperatio they should: A) stop attacking somalia like they did not long ago B) stop abusing both minority clans and minority ethnic groups C) stop taking and relying on the somali government's money, when the fire in hargeisa happened not long ago they got money from the somali government they are nearly as bad as the terrorists to those who aren't the ruling clan.

Because of the UN. Before the UN was established, it wasn't anything special to have some country recognize a successful revolt in some far distant part of the world. Now, international borders are almost sacrosanct, which is good for avoiding wars of conquest, but not so good for self determination of particular groups. Since the UN was established, only Bangladesh has managed to be recognized as a country arising from an opposed independence movement. You need to get the central government to cave now to get a separatist movement to get recognized. Like South Sudan or East Timor.

Might be a reason that would discourage Thailand from building the Kra canal too to provide a shortcut for ships between the Andaman & S China Seas, as the canal would separate southern Thailand from the rest of the country & might further encourage insurgency/secession there

Legit every clan suffered from the civil war, so if people are allowed to form countries based on clans then that would start a wave impacting all the federal states as they would try to gain sovereignty aswell. The whole notion of Somaliland being its own country for 5 days was legit based on England giving them independence before the italians did. Those borders were drawn by the coloniest and will not be accepted by the majority of Somali clans.

I could say that: - pretty much everything said here about Somaliland also applies to them (including the "they didn't have the bullets to say no" part). It is an entirely functional country with their own institutions, media, currency and you can definitely tell them apart from Moldova. - Just like Somaliland is considered to be more prosperous than Somalia, Transnistria is better than Moldova in some aspects and worse than others. - The reason why Transnistria is portrayed so negatively is because of their association with Russia. While, in my opinion, undeniably independent, the state is bankrolled by Russia and has russian soldiers guaranteeing their safety. They are also tiny, have a weird shape in the map and have the long term goal of reuniting with Russia (in fact, their war against Moldova was because they didn't even want to leave the USSR). - Most people there feel they have a different identity, don't want to rejoin Moldova but there is very little if any animosity from their side to Moldovans. Apart from having very few english speakers, it is a surprisingly easy place to visit and welcoming. Or at least it was before they had a war happening just beside them.

Country recognition is very complicated. Cause Kosovo has mostly self-rule and is recognised by over half of the UN, despite not being recognised as a country because Serbia is still trying to maintain control of the region thus it's classed as an ongoing civil war. Similarly Taiwan isn't a country because the Chinese civil war never officially ended, and most of the world treats it as an ongoing internal conflict between the People's Liberation Army that managed to claim most of the territory and the Republic Armed Forces which made a retreat to the island. Both of them claim the Chinese mainland, so because of this no country wants to side with Taiwan because they're technically "losing the war and not conceding defeat".

It should be noted that breakaway regions are not considered legitimate under international law. Once you've been legitimately incorporated into a country, there is no legitimate means out of it, outside of getting the original country to recognise you (see with South Sudan). The only realistic way out if the country refuses to recognise you, is to form a de facto state, and establish positive relations with other countries until they're willing to recognise you en mass. The default position of everyone is to not recognise, so you need to go above and beyond, or represent a greater political battle in order to be recognised. Somaliland's small economy means it's difficult to establish enough of a relationship for countries to risk establishing a bad precedent by recognising it, and it doesn't have much affect on any greater political issues, so for now no one is going to take the risk and recognise it.

Countries that have unstable areas with populations who want to secede and break away to become independent are not very likely to recognize breakaway states of other countries, that's just shooting themselves in the foot. Most countries have at least one such area these days, so… 🤷

It is one of the reasons why they don't. The entite shit show in Ukraine is happening because this sacred rule was broken by recognising Kosovo, and with this precedent Russia said "what is good for the goose must be good for the gander".

Yet Kosovo came into being as it pissed of Serbia which by default pissed off Russia hence Europe and US could not move fast enough to recognise it. 🙄

03:35 You are wrong. You said "The only true definition of a country is one that is internationally recognized as such." The only true definition of a country is if you go there, there it is. Artsakh wasn't recognized, but it was a country. We know that because people went there and there it was. And it had been, as long as anyone can remember, although often as a province of this or that empire, but also independently for a long time.
