First, the government of Somalia doesn't recognize Somaliland. Any recognition of Somaliland would come over the objections of Somalia. The global community is more reluctant to legitimize such unilateral separatism. The Somaliland separatists historically had minimal economic/military clout or foreign alliances, so no one has gone to bat for them.

Second, Somaliland does not have well defined borders. De facto Somaliland is primarily territory of the Dir and Isaaq clans, but Somaliland claims all of the former British Somaliland, including territory of the Darod clan. The de facto border between Somalia and Somaliland is not stable. Recognizing Somaliland would raise the stakes of the border dispute, potentially renewing clashes. And how would one know what border to recognize without a bilateral process between Somalia and Somaliland?

The longer Somaliland retains its de facto independence, the stronger its claim to de jure independence will become. If it increases ties with players such as the US, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and the middleman (Ethiopia) , that may further strengthen its hand.
The UN is not recognizing Somaliland .

But do Ethiopians ( not politicians) want to put their hands in the disintegration of Somalia?

The UAE ( not Ethiopia ) is salivating to establish a military base and port concession in exchange for in excess of $1bn in investment.Ethiopia is acting as the middleman .

[Jikaar]

Ethiopia itself never ruled one hundred percent of its territory. It has always been fighting against the Eritreans, the somalis, the tigrays or the Amharas and oromos

Similarly eastern Somaliland border is violated by terrorists backed by somalia. That won't change anything about Somaliland existence.

Tiago. research your content before you post so that you dont become laughable joker.
Listen to Dr. Edna Adan here:

You idiot its name tells you what it is.
It doesn’t say Ethiopianland, Eritreanland, Sudaneseland, Americanland.
It says somaliLAND. It belongs to all Somalis which have a government which is called Republic of Somalia.
And Ogaden also is going to go to its rightful owner Somalia soon.

[Right]

Eris,
Like it or not, Somali Land is a country. Period.
So, your endless barking is irrelevant.

Somal Landers are already a prosperous society and now with the help of Ethiopia Somali Land will be a formidable nation.
You acted stupid through out your existence and it’s now getting worse.

Nope.
A separate British Protectorate. As all decolonized African states, its keeps its colonial territory to make a free nation upon indepedence. After negotiation with the colonizing power, the UK, it got its independence on June 26, 1960.
Campaigned for the indepedence of South Somalia, then known as Italian Somalia. It allowed South Somalia to join it and form a Somali Republic. Both freely joined the Republic. Both are free to separate from each when they wish
Of course fir good reasons.

Somaliland has had more than necessary reasons to leave the Republic of Somalia.

Simply the world doesn’t entertain unilateral secession
Though Somaliland can be applauded for creating a free market economy and elections . How ever recognition can only come from Mogadishu unless it has a superpower backing in the case of Kosovo the Americans back it . Unlucky for somaliland the Americans invested all of their money and aid in Mogadishu, somaliland is doing everting right they just don’t have any friends in the world stage that is willing to help them .

Somaliland is willing to enter into negotiation with South Somalia on terms of separation. Dr. Edna Adan has made it clear in her Sweedon's talk.
AU has a resppnsibility to end tge injust suufering of Somaliland eithout recogbitipn as a an independent nation and hold a peace confetence that will deal with the yerms of separation, justice for ear crimes and genocide. Somaliland discovered 100 mass grave sites.
US is tolerant of South Smalia, a failed state because of its perceived threat of Al-shabab from creating a Sharia-based Islamic Spmalia, as if its stounchest allies
such such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, UAE, Malaysia, Maldives, etc.were secular. Why insist only on Somalia to be unuslamic where 99.9% of this black population Africa is Muslim? Obviously racist considerations for distabilization of Somalia.
