Episode 74: Why the global outrage at Israel's Somaliland recognition?

In this monologue, the speaker discusses Israel's recognition of Somaliland as a separate country and the surprising negative response from the international community. The speaker argues that Somaliland, despite being similar to Somalia in ethnicity, religion, and clan structure, has achieved stability, freedom, and good governance without international recognition or aid. The speaker contrasts Somaliland's success with Somalia's failures, attributing it to the competence and seriousness of Somaliland's ruling elite and its ability to manage its currency and resolve conflicts. The speaker criticizes the West's hypocrisy and lazy explanations for the failures of the Global South, asserting that Somaliland's success challenges the racist idea that Somalis are incapable of stable governance. The speaker concludes that recognizing Somaliland would acknowledge reality over diplomatic ritual and challenge civilizational determinism.
