Debate surrounding possible talks between Mogadishu and Somaliland remains deeply divided, with Somaliland-aligned voices rejecting renewed negotiations unless their core political demands are addressed.
Recent discussion has also focused on Las Anod, following claims that the issue could be used as part of efforts to revive dialogue between the two sides.
However, many Somaliland supporters have dismissed the prospect of compromise, arguing that their priorities remain international recognition, security and economic development.
The debate highlights the continuing difficulty of finding common ground as relations between Mogadishu, Hargeisa and actors in the disputed regions remain politically sensitive.
