Ballot for Upcoming Elections must Include Referendum Statement on Dissolving the Union with Somalia

Somaliland has held a referendum in 2001 throughout the country for ratifying the new constitution.

Rethinking Secondary Education in Africa

Rethinking Secondary Education in Africa

Secondary education is critical to achieving the vision of economic transformation laid out in the African Union’s Agenda 2063. But current indicators suggest that most countries are far from realizing this promise. Access, while increasing, remains low compared to other regions and considerable inequities for girls and youth in rural areas persist. Beyond access, measures of learning and relevance of curricula indicate that youth are not graduating with the skills they need to navigate transitions to work.

While having in mind for some time now to comment on the Somaliland Education Policy, I stumbled upon this open letter to the Minister of Education, which heightened my concern. 

As education plays an important role in the life of the individual and in the society, as well as in the development and progress of each country, the Education Policy must be designed in a way that it can efficiently guide the education system and its basic components to cater for the needs in the country.

The State of Energy in Somaliland

SLPA Q3 Analytical Op-Ed- by Engineer Abdisamed Artan
Somaliland’s State of Energy

Developing countries have one large need limiting their ability to progress and advance – access to affordable, reliable, and clean energy. After all, companies and societies cannot thrive sustainably without access to reasonable electricity and petroleum products. While this pressing issue happens in developing countries around the world, one prime example is Somaliland, where electricity and petroleum products are priced higher than those in their peer countries.

As the State of Israel was one of the first few countries that immediately accorded the historical state of Somaliland Republic de jure recognition during her brief existence in 1960 before the unification with the Trust Territory of Somalia, and in the wake of United Arab Emirates, one of the staunch believers of the Somaliland case, normalizing ties with Israel, the State of Israel must not fail to notice that historic diplomatic ties with Somaliland Republic.

Ending War: Lessons from Somaliland

Ending War: Lessons from Somaliland

Richard Iron CMG OBE in conversation with Dr Sarah Phillips.

In a region long beset by political strife and inter-state rivalries, Somaliland stands out as a beacon of hope in the Horn of Africa – stable, relatively democratic and broadly functional.

Unlike neighboring Somalia, from which it declared unilateral independence in 1991, Somaliland received little of the international aid and support that post-conflict zones typically attract. Continue reading “Ending War: Lessons from Somaliland”
