Somaliland should rebrand. Without renaming themselves they will forever fight an uphill battle to distinguish themselves as something other than (at best) a Somali provincial region. Other than that, a great example is to follow the modern Taiwanese strategy to be a liberal democracy and a beacon of human rights, and develop powerful allies needed to maintain territorial integrity. Honestly, I would highly recommend hosting military bases for the US and other NATO allies. This is (part) of the strategy of the neighboring nation of Djibouti. The Gulf of Aden is geopolitically fraught and teaming with pirates, so there's room for plenty more military bases.
