The+question+of+the+recognition+of+Somaliland

Somalialand is a region which has long fought for international recognition. Under Woodrow Wilson's concept of international self -determination, habitants of Somalialand have been utilizing this idea and holding democratic elections to prove that. The nation of Sudan recognizes the efforts made by organizations such as the Somalialand International Recognition Action Group, and commends their work. The nation of Sudan fully supports the people of Somalialand in their quest for independence, and believes that the people have the ability, ideas, and ethics to run a successful and peaceful state. However, the nation of Sudan urges the provisional government of Somalialand to ensure that any secession is run smoothly, as to not spark conflict or divide groups in the region. Sudan has a history of border conflicts with many nations such as Chad and Egypt, and it would loathe to see the same problems befall Somlialand.
