AFP reports on the socio-economic situation in Somaliland

Hargeisa (SD) – The AFP news agency has published extensive report on the Republic of Somaliland, particularly in the areas of the living standard, education, economic development, elections and the issue of recognition.

“Beneath the defiant flag of their self-declared republic, young Somalilanders considered life as fresh university graduates in their unrecognised homeland — a country in name only, proud but alone in the Horn of Africa.” AFP reported.

The AFP report focused on Somaliland’s university graduates, their patriotic morale and limited job opportunities.

“The need is there, but there are no opportunities,” said Saeed Salad Ahmed, a 26-year-old in black robes and tasselled hat, after graduating from the University of Hargeisa.

The news agency said Somalilanders are proud of their statehood, and although lack of recognition has played a major role in its economic challenges , but that has not hampered its multifaceted efforts.
