Republic of Somaliland
Somaliland is considered by most states to be part of Somalia. Somaliland lies in the Horn of Africa, on the southern coast of the Gulf of Aden. It is bordered by Djibouti to the northwest, Ethiopia to the south and west, and Somalia to the east. The capital and largest city is Hargeisa. Our plan was to enter from Harar in Ethiopia and return to Ethiopia via Djibouti but due to political unrest at the time the border was closed. (2010)
