Summary

When does a country become a state? On 18 May 1991 the leaders of the Somali National Movement and the elders of northern Somali clans proclaimed that they were setting up the new Republic of Somaliland. It is based on the territory of the former British protectorate which had merged with the Italian colony in 1960 to form the Republic of Somalia.
