Somaliland
is a former British territory located in the northwest region of Somalia in
the Horn of Africa, became part of Somalia in 1960.
In
May of 1991, northern clans declared an independent Republic of Somaliland that
now includes five of the eighteen administrative regions of Somalia, roughly
the region between Ethiopia, Djibouti
and the Gulf of Aden,
an area of about 137,600 square kilometers. The capital of Somaliland is
Hargeisa.
Although
not recognized by any government, this entity has maintained a stable
existence, aided by the overwhelming dominance of a ruling clan and economic
infrastructure left behind by British, Russian, and American military
assistance programs.
