The breakaway region of Somaliland has rejected Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's offer to mediate reunification talks with Somalia. Somaliland's government stated that any dialogue with Somalia would focus on the future of both entities as separate states, rather than discussing unification. Somaliland declared autonomy from Somalia in 1991 but has not received international recognition for independence. Museveni's offer came after a meeting in Uganda with an envoy of Somaliland's president. Somaliland has been facing secessionist forces, with heavy fighting occurring between its forces and clan militiamen in February.
