On paper, Somaliland looks just like any ordinary country, but it’s not recognised as such by any other nation. Somalia considers it an integral part of its territory and so does the African Union, although Somaliland declared its independence in 1991. All that could now change, as Ethiopia, its powerful – and landlocked – neighbour has struck a deal with Somaliland which would grant it access to a port in the Red Sea.
