“The opposition leader in Somalia’s breakaway region of Somaliland won last week’s election, the electoral commission said Tuesday. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi of the main opposition Waddani Party received more than 50% of the votes cast. Abdullahi, 69, served as Somaliland’s parliament speaker in 2005. … Somaliland, which declared independence from Somalia in 1991 amid a descent into conflict, has sustained its own government, currency and security structures despite lacking international recognition.” (11/19/24)
