比較勁爆的消息, 南蘇丹首套郵票的歷史. 會在台灣上演?


Somaliland sits in a strategically important spot at the Horn of Africa
and various regional and international powers are jostling with each other
to establish themselves in the region. Turkey is keen to extend its power
in the area and has been courting the Somaliland government and one of
the results is that in January 2020 it added Somaliland to its list of ‘countries’ to
which it would send mail.

Another country with which Somaliland is forging links is the generally
unrecognised Taiwan which from time to time is in philatelic competition
with The People’s Republic Of China in finding countries which are prepared
to accept gifts of postage stamps which emphasise the ties between either
of the two Chinas and the recipient countries (several small Commonwealth
Caribbean and Pacific countries fall into that group).
Perhaps Somaliland’s first postage stamps may be a gift from Taiwan.
