Somalia: U.S. Boosts Links With Puntland, Somaliland
September 24, 2010 | 2054 GMT
The United States is developing relations with authorities from the
semi-independent autonomous Somali regions of Puntland and Somaliland, U.S.
Assistant Secretary of State Johnnie Carson said Sept. 24, Reuters reported.
Carson said the regions have sustained a degree of political and civil
stability and could serve as a bulwark against extremism. The United States
will not recognize either government as independent and will continue
efforts to strengthen the Transitional Federal Government of President
Sharif Ahmed, Carson said.
