The recognition of Somaliland’s independence by the United States government has come under heavy criticism.
Last week, the United Somali Alliance of the USA hired a top lobbyist from Washington to petition the US government not to recognize Somaliland as an independent state.
United Somali Alliance of the USA has roped in the services of Karl Von Batten to urge the US to recognize Somaliland and Somalia as one nation.
Von Batten works as part of the Von Batten-Montague-York lobby group.
