Somaliland again seeks international recognition

    ABIDJAN
    The chairman of the Somaliland Forum underway in the US has again urged the international community to recognise his country as an independent state. "As we are approaching the end of this century, we want to inform the international community that Somaliland has been a sovereign state for two-thirds of this century including the last eight years," Jama Musse Jama said . "The Republic of Somaliland is now a peaceful country with a vibrant enterprising people, a bicameral parliamentary system, an independent judiciary and fully functioning central and local government."
