The Republic of Somaliland, a state which has approximately 3.5 million people in a territory the size of New York state, has decided not to wait for international recognition to build a navy.
This video shows off their gunships. Apparently, this is one part of Somalia that has taken steps to defend its coastline against illegal fishing and toxic waste dumping.

I don't understand why the rest of the world doesn't just recognize these guys as an independent nation. Apparently the attitude is that there is a line in the sand around Somalia and we aren't going to allow anyone to be recognized until they conquer all of it.

Thank you for raising this issue here. Not recognizing Somaliland just shows how the International Community are not honest with Somali's affairs and their impartiality.
With them or without them, Somaliland will be there to stay forever.
