Revision as of 09:57, 2 December 2007 by SomaliVoice (talk | contribs) (Clandestine propganda removal)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Somaliland is the former territory ruled by Great Britain before becoming independent on June 26, 1960 and uniting with Italian Somalia to form the Somali Republic. On May 18, 1991, the people of the Isaaq clan from northwest of Somalia declared independence from Somalia, however, natives of northcentral and northeast Somalia (Hurti sub-clan of Darood - see Dhulbahante ) do not recognise the administration nor is it recognised by any other country or international organization.
Somaliland is accepted by the rest of Somalia as a clandestine movement and has been succesfull in administrating the native Isaaq boarders within Somalia however this has also created a backlash as other Somalis refuse its seperatist stance for fear of renewing clan conflicts.
