On 18th May every year Somaliland celebrates its national day despite lacking international recognition. This marks the day that the people of Somaliland decided to withdraw from their union with Somalia and reclaimed their independence, 30 years ago.
Somaliland, officially known as the Republic of Somaliland, is located at the strategic Horn of Africa and is bordered by the Gulf of Aden to the north; Somalia to the east; the Federal Republic of Ethiopia to the south and the west; and the Republic of Djibouti to the north-west. It has one of the most clearly demarcated borders defined by treaties signed between Anglo-French (1888), Anglo-Italian (1894), & Anglo-Ethiopian (1897).
