Somaliland, officially the Republic of Somaliland, is a USA and UK-backed separatist state in East Africa. It is currently experiencing protests seeking reunification with Somalia, and protestors have already taken control of the city of Taleex.[1]

History[edit | edit source]

The northern region of Somalia was formerly a British protectorate while the rest was an Italian colony. Somaliland seceded from Somalia in 1991 after its federal government collapsed in a civil war.[1]
