    They are no worse off than before. It’s not like they’ve lost international recognition from this

        They did though.

        No, Somaliland was not recognized before. Did you watch the video you submitted? They clearly spell it out at 2:15. Everything about it backfiring for Somaliland is based on outright speculation that maybe UAE would bribe other countries to recognize Somaliland.

        If it backfired for anyone, it did so for Israel. As they said in the video, it cheapened the Abraham Accords.

          They are trading with other counties even if not officially recognized as a separate entity. Their goal of being recognized is now farther away than it was before.

          Why are you being so combative? “Did you watch the video?” Go dig conflict elsewhere.

            You claimed they were recognized before.

            Why are you being so combative?

            I’m not. You just claimed the polar opposite of what even the speculation in the video said. If you feel that pointing that out is combative, it’s a you problem.
