I don't get the bit about Djibouti. Do they seriously think that the other countries of the world will say "Well, now that Somaliland exists, we like them better than you, Djibouti, so we're just going to get rid of you..."?
I don't see any reason for the rest of the world not to recognize Somaliland. Or Sealand, either.

hehe. I wish those people would spruce up Sealand. A paint job would do it. LOL. I say good for them! They have the same balls as those who founded this nation. They had the balls to say 'We don't like your nation so screw you, we'll make our own!' I fantasized about founding my own nation. The Antartic Union. lol. We managed to build eviromental domes and a defence force within 50 years thanks to the help of an alien intellegence.
I wonder. Where can I get a Sealand dollar??

Yes, I would like to see Somaliland recognized. Africa needs all the stability it can get, or rather, chances to create stability for themselves.

Be nice if every country could be recongized.
Of course, last I checked, Taiwan still wasn't being recognized.
And this is why international politics sucks my left testicle.

Really? I didn't know Tibet was recognized as independent...
And I think Taiwan is recognized by everyone but China, right?

AFAIK, most nations don't formally recognise Taiwan as independent. Taiwan itself doesn't... it claims of being the legitimate government for all of China, and not one of two nations. The UN has accepted Communist China since the Seventies as the legitimate government of the mainland, IIRC.

Yes, both Taiwan and mainland China claim to be the China: Mainland China = 'The People's Republic of China' Taiwan = 'The Republic of China'
