- Somaliland: Although it’s not internationally recognized by
the UN, it has protected and delimited land borders, its own military,
its own president, its own currency, its own police. And it also proudly
holds democratic elections since 1991. Basically, this country
“that doesn’t exist” runs better than 2/3 of other African countries.
This is a national pride and an example to the World. But even so, the
United Nations (UN) doesn’t recognize it as a sovereign state. Somaliland
borders Ethiopia, Djibouti and another region of Somalia called Land of
Punt, or Puntland, famous for having over 400 people kidnapped and held
captive by pirates in the Gulf of Aden.
