African regional bodies reject Israel's recognition of Somaliland
President Trump said he won't quickly follow Mideast ally Israel in recognizing Somaliland, saying he needed to "study" it.
www.cbsnews.com
www.cbsnews.com/news/african... — The African Union recognizes the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic as a member even though Morocco occupies the vast majority of that entity’s territory. Somaliland received independence separately from Somalia in 1960 and has not been ruled by Somalia since 1991.
The African Union recognizes the failed state of South Sudan and the wannabe state of Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic but not the viable state of Somaliland. The UAE and Ethiopia might follow Israel in recognizing Somaliland. Naturally, Turkey and Egypt oppose the breakup of Somalia… #HornOfAfrica
