Somaliland: Biggest Liaison Office Abroad Opened in Kenya
Somaliland’s Foreign Minister Saad Ali Shire was in Nairobi, Kenya on Friday 26 October 2018 to inaugurate the new Somaliland Mission to Keny’s headquarters. The largest Somaliland liaison office so far, this event has huge symbolic importance for the de facto state of Somaliland. Despite functioning as an independent nation for decades, it lacks international recognition and official status, a precarious situation that hampers its development and complicates its ability to participate on the international stage.
