PP argues that, “President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud betrayed the Somalia sovereignty and allowed the United States to forge security partnership with the secessionist administration of Somaliland.”
Mogadishu (PP Report) — In March 2022 James Elroy Risch sponsored Somaliland Partnership Act bill. The bill obliges “the Department of State to annually report to Congress on U.S. assistance to Somaliland. The State Department must also report to Congress on the feasibility of establishing a U.S.-Somaliland partnership, including opportunities for collaboration on regional security issues.”

The bill refers to Somaliland as “the territory within Somalia that has been a self-declared independent and sovereign state since 1991 that is not internationally recognized.”
PP argues that, “The big elephant in the room is the Federal Government of Somalia whose leadership colluded with the secessionist administration to implement a security partnership between the United States and a secessionist entity that forcibly displaced more than 1500 Somali citizens in Laascaanood in 2021, and is now waging a secession war in Northern Somalia to enforce pre-independence colonial borders.”

PP argues, “that President Joe Biden’s administration redefined the Westphalian system to violate the sovereignty of Somalia for geopolitical reasons”.
PP argues that,” Through lobbyists Somaliland President Muse Bihi Abdi bought off American lawmakers to secure a controversial security partnership to boost his secessionist agenda.
PP argues that, “America indirectly encouraged the Somaliland administration to aggressively pursue its secessionist agenda. Members of Congress must not view themselves as having the power to determine the borders of black-African countries or recognize secessionist regimes in Africa. Such actions will destabilize Africa” wrote Dr. Karl Von Batten of Von Batten-Montague-York, L.C.
PP argues that, “The American government policy has exposed what a constitutional expert views as a treason committed by the incumbent administration of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud whose government had given the US government the green light to establish security partnership with a secessionist administration. “President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud failed to discharge his constitutional duties to speak out against the violation of the sovereignty of Somalia by the United States of America Government through Somaliland Security Partnership.
