Introduction
Somaliland, a partially recognised democratic state in the Horn of Africa, was under British Protectorate from 1884 to 1960, during which it gained its first independence from Britain on 26 June 1960, before voluntarily joining Somalia on 1 July 1960. However, this merging did not go well, and the Somaliland people were subject to brutal genocide committed by the then-ruthless dictator of Somalia, Mohamed Siad Barre.
