I do not dispute the resolution - it is based on whatever the Wikipedia article says - but I do dispute the article itself.

Somaliland asserts it is a sovereign and independent state that wishes recognition from other states. It has its own government that has no intention to ever accept rule from Mogadishu.

Puntland, on the other hand, is only stating it is conducting its own affairs, without claiming sovereignty or trying to get recognition from anyone, either as the One True Somalia or as a separate country. Its government has made it clear that once constitutional changes approved in Mogadishu go through a referendum they'll abide by the federal government once again. (Whether they'd follow through is another story.)

It is a shitty situation, but I think it is doubtful it should be called a "national border change".

What do we think? Anyone want to say this shouldn't resolve YES?

Is there anything pending on this? The base rate seems low.

@DismalScientist Most likely candidate might be west Sahara?

@DismalScientist Maybe the situation in Niger? I mean, the coup is internal to the country, but you could imagine with the possibility of intervention, border changes might be more likely than usual.
