Somaliland, which declared independence from Somalia in 1991, remains unrecognized internationally despite establishing a stable democracy in a region dominated by autocracy. Recent geopolitical shifts and Donald Trump's election have raised hopes for recognition, but internal tensions ahead of the November 13th presidential election could jeopardize their aspirations for sovereignty.
