NAIROBI— Somaliland is celebrating its 25th anniversary of independence Wednesday, but as far as the international community is concerned, Somaliland is not a country. It remains part of Somalia. International recognition of statehood may still be a long time coming.
People, cattle, camels, donkeys and a lion, dressed up in Somaliland’s red, white and green flag Wednesday for parades and celebrations marking 25 years since Somaliland’s self-declared independence from the Federal Republic of Somalia.
Mohamed Ahmed is the executive director of the Somaliland Non State Actors Forum, based in Hargeisa. He, like many other Somalilanders, takes offense to the phrase “self-declared.”
