The TNC plan could not include Somaliland, which left before signing.
Evidence
A more ambitious departure, in line with the U.N.’s understandable but misguided anxiety to cobble together a Somali government as soon as possible, provided for the formation over two years of a ‘transitional system of governance’. This would be led by a Transitional National Council (T.N.C.), including representatives from the 18 regions where District and Regional Councils would be established (a concession to the ‘bottom-up’ strategy). The T.N.C. was to be a ‘repository of Somali sovereignty’, a provision which could hardly include Somaliland since its delegation had left before the agreement was signed and from which, in any case, it promptly disassociated itself. — I.M.
