Democracy in Somaliland
Author: Academy for Peace and Development
Abstract
Today the Somali region is mostly commonly sensationalised as the ultimate ‘failed state’. This description obscures the richness of the peace dynamics within and between Somali communities throughout the region. Contrary to the negative generalisation of the Somali present scene, Somaliled initiatives have set up viable political and administrative arrangements to manage conflict and provide durable security and rule of law in both Somaliland and Puntland. In many places Somali entrepreneurship from inside or outside the Somali region has also revitalised the economy.
