"Is the separatist Democratic Republic of Somalia (DRS) to the Northwest included in the mandate?" Korede inquired.
"The DRS is not considered in the AU intervention mission, so it is also not your concern. They have a functioning government unlike the rest of Somalia and its people are enjoying the functions of a state. The only reason their Independence claim hasn't been recognized by the UN is because they still need an endorsement from the Federal Republic of Somalia (FRS) since the split wasn't caused by military action or irreconcilable differences." President Isong replied.
"What the President is saying is, DRS is treated as a sovereign state-in-waiting by many countries in the international community so don't start a conflict or even crossover to the DRS unless you have to." NSA Idemudia spoke.
