  • Speaking to the USA, national politics became more important as the federal government became the means for funding social programs. People forget that the quality of life varied significantly between different states. You also saw a reevaluation of the limits of political morality, was it moral to let people in your country be politically oppressed.





  • While there has been a taboo against the changing of borders in Africa due to legitimate reasons, it became accepted that South Sudan should be created due to the destabilizing force that the Sudanese government played in the local populace. While the southern part of Somalia isn’t a direct threat to Somaliland, it is obvious that there isn’t a central Somali government able to enact control over Somaliland and the Somaliland government doesn’t wish territorial expansion to become the legitimate government of all Somalia.

    In these terms, I feel like the recognition of Somaliland isn’t destabilizing to the region and seems to be a better option than continued anarchy over a wider area.

    I also feel like Djibouti is trying to fight against this recognition as this gives Ethiopia another path to sea access.
