Somaliland elite are interested only in maintaining the status-quo, in fact, the Gov’t is so busy with trying to remain in power that it no longer functions as a government at all. When was the last time you heard about real governance work?
The infighting (some people calling it manufactured) inside the commission makes the whole thing a joke.
The Westerners inside Hargeisa have all their alert levels high at this moment as they do not know what exactly is going to happen as this dispute with elections drags on.
All these do not help recognition at all.
