		Somaliland, a model of peace and stability in the region: In just 10 years, the people of Somaliland have rebuilt their lives from scratch, after Siad Barre's dictatorial regime had razed their country to the ground and had slaughtered thousands of people, while the world watched.
		Somaliland is not a new invention, nor is it "seceding from Somalia": It was an internationally recognised political entity known as the British Protectorate of Somaliland, until it had gained its independence on June 1960 as the State of Somaliland, and then was amalgamated with Somalia.
		Somaliland's international trade links are also enviable as its balanced current account indicates that, in spite of the destruction it had suffered under the brutal rule of Somalia's Siad Barre, the country has made more progress in the last 10 years, as an independent state, than in the previous 30 years under Somalia.

		Somalia in its modern boundaries was formed by a unification of the two former colonies Italian Somaliland -- the southern part of present-day Somalia -- and British Somaliland in the north.
		However, by the end of the 1980s, what has become the unrecognized Republic of Somaliland was nearly totally under the control of the S.N.M. The vacuum left by the collapse of the central government in Mogadishu in 1991 had, therefore, less effect on Somaliland than it did for the rest of the country.
