BBC News - US to seek stronger ties with Somaliland and Puntland

The US wants to strengthen its ties with Somalia's breakaway regions Somaliland and Puntland, the Obama administration's top diplomat for Africa has said.

The new, "aggressive" engagement could help to head off the Islamist insurgents, Johnnie Carson said.

But there were no plans to recognise the regions as independent states.

Mr Carson said his government would also continue to support the Somali government.

More after the jump but this is certainly a interesting development as those who have been following this know.

Garbage dumps like this is why we have nukes, we have no allies there just racketeers and war lords, not worth one $ or an ounce of spit.
Unless you can spot the "moderate" jihadist in the crowd.

Good forward planning. Build those links before Somalia becomes the next economic powerhouse of the world.

Fucking idiots.

Obama is building a brothel for Somali pirates? No wait, he is going to give another dreary speech about international co-operation and brotherhood with the Muslim world.
