    BBC Africa Editor Mary Harper describes how she came to report on a remarkable green field dairy farm in the middle of the desert in a rejuvenated Somaliland.

     

    I didn’t believe a word Abdullah Farah was saying when he first told me about his farm.

     

    I had met him by chance in the Man-Soor Hotel while reporting for Assignment in Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland – a dry, arid territory that broke away from Somalia 20 years ago and classed by the BBC as a ‘hostile environment’.

     

    Like so many Somalilanders, Abdullah had fled the territory during a civil war in the 1980s. He ended up as a refugee in Canada, where, from nothing, he built up a lucrative business.

     

    But he had returned to his homeland to set up what he told me was the “Green Valley Dairy Farm”.

    ToughGong.... I couldn't help but notice that the newest nation in the world, the Republic of South Sudan, which gained its independence on 9 July 2011 is not on your fake, fabricated and fictional map but the so called, self declared, break away region of North West Somalia is on the map. What is the world coming to? some people must be deluded and daydreaming .....God help you and your clansmen!

    Has it occured to your limited intellect that these might have been printed prior to 9 july 2011

    Some people SMH

    That is exactly the point, where is this effective government in Somaliland? That is the question one asks himself.

     

    Violating women like this during a stable government... there's just no excuse for this.

    So according to your logic,the UK has no effective government
