Somaliland has shot a man in a very unionist region, for waving the Somali flag. After Somaliland was driven out of most of the Eastern Unionist regions, it looks like it could collapse.

After 15 years of wasting money As-Shabaabs recruiting office is withdrawing from Somalia, now that the money from Europe is being sent to Ukraine instead.

The noble clans can no longer use foreign troops to bully the smaller clans and this (and lifting the arms embargo) will finally (hopefully) help Somalia wipe out the khawarij scum.

so in the 2000s and 2010s somaliland was always contrasted with somalia proper as the stable, safe place compared to the basketcase down south. what happened in the last few years to seemingly reverse that and is it directly caused by the ethiopian civil war?

The south is less stable because America got Ethiopia to invade southern Somalia to put the warlords back in power, the Ethiopians lost but the government split, half became the current government while the hardliners became AS.

Ethiopia went along because the TPLF rigged the elections and needed weapons to crush the guys who actually won the elections, and also commit a few more genocides.
