Rejected petition Recognise Somaliland's independence

More details

Somaliland has been a well functioning and successful autonomous state to Somalia with little fighting and tribal warfare. However for over 20 years it has failed to receive any of the recognition it deserves from the international community. As a former British colony, the UK should be the first country to recognise and back the country's independence.
