Some Gambian parliamentarians have been pushing and lobbying for the self-declared “Somaliland state” to be recognized as a sovereign state, Parliamentary questions fired to The Gambian Foreign Minister Momodou Tangara, by different MPS, on Wednesday, have revealed, Freedom Newspaper can report. Some of the MPS mainly from the United Democratic Party (UDP), had asked the Foreign Minister, if The Gambian government could spearhead the campaign for Somaliland to be recognized as an independent state, outside the recognized Federal Government of Somalia. But Foreign Minister Tangara warned that it would be irresponsible for The Gambian government to engage in such illegitimate diplomacy. He insists that the globally recognized country in Somalia, is the Federal Republic of Somalia. He added that both the African Union and the United Nations have recognized the Federal Government of Somalia.
