		In Italian Somaliland, the British improved working conditions for Somali agricultural laborers, doubled the size of the elementary school system, and allowed Somalis to staff the lower stratum of the civil service and gendarmerie.

	Somaliland National Election Commission
		Awdal region; the point of contention, is inhabited by various clans including the “Issa”, the “Gadabursi”, the “Isaaq”, the “Darood” and others, and any thought of equating this scenario to clanship is ludicrous and stupid.
		The president merely stated a “region’” and not a “clan”.
		Since Somaliland does not exercise population census, does not have registered voters and does not know the actual number of voters in any constituency, a regionally represented National Election Commission is the closest method of electoral fairness.
