This document provides an overview of Somaliland's history, government, economy, education system, and engineering schools. It explains that Somaliland gained independence from Britain in 1960 and declared independence from Somalia in 1991 after a civil war. Since then, it has established peace and held democratic elections, though it remains unrecognized by other countries. The country's education system has grown since 1991, with over 18 public universities established, including engineering schools that aim to support Somaliland's development goals through practical training.

3. UNDERSTANDING OF SOMALILAND
 Somaliland was the former British
Somaliland protectorate and gained its
full independence on June, 26, 1960.
 Meanwhile, thirty five countries of the
world states recognized Somaliland
immediately after independence , hence
only five days later, on 1 July 1960,
Somaliland chose to unite with Somalia
with the aim of creating a "Greater
Somalia"

4. UNDERSTANDING OF SOMALILAND
 Unfortunately, the union tuned into a disappointment for
the people of Somaliland because it ushered in two
decades of political subjugation and ten years of armed
struggle against southern domination.
 The Republic of Somaliland restored its
independence after the total collapse of Somalia on
18 May 1991 as a result of the civil war of the late
eighties and early nineties. The decision was made
by the Congress of Council of Clan Elders held in
Burao from 27 April to 15 May, 1991.
Constitutionally, the Republic of Somaliland is a
democratic country with a multi-party system.

colonized by Italy. Somaliland chose to unite with
Somalia with the aim of creating a "Greater Somalia“

Somaliland had been away from rest of Somalia for the
last 22 years
In this period, there is generation gap:
the young somaliland generation who were born 1991

Neither Somalia president nor Somali people are able

reason to remain the union !!!!!

 By 1991 the infrastructure of Somaliland, on the eastern
horn of Africa along the Red sea, had been completely
destroyed by three years of armed struggle with
Somalia's dictator Siyad Barre.
 Struggling to rebuild its infrastructure after years of
civil war with Somalia, Somaliland saw its first
university inaugurated in 1996 and has been steadily
building its higher education system ever since. While
significant challenges remain, higher education is
booming as each year thousands of school-leavers pin
