Xildhibaanadan oo caan ku ah taageerista qaddiyadda somaliland ayaa kala ah: Clive Betts MP Stephen Doughty MP Zac Goldsmith MP Lord Luce Kerry McCarthy MP Liz McInnes MP Matthew Offord MP Stephen Timms MP Waxa ay xildhibaanadani sheegeen in 58 sannadood laga joogo markii ay Somaliland xorriyadda ka qaaday Ingiriiska, iyadoo ay dalal badan oo Afrikaan ah oo iyaguna wakhtigaas xorriyadooda qaatay ay u dabaal degayaan madaxbanaanidooda, laakiin waxay xuseen inay Somaliland ka duwantahay xaaladaha wadamadaas ay isku wakhti xorriyadooda qaateen, “Jamhuuriyadda Somaliland, xaaladu si ahaan way uga duwantahay. Waxay heshiis midow siyasadeed ah la galeen jaarkooda Soomaaliya ka dib markii ay xorriyadooda heleen, Somaliland waxay xorriyadeedii soo celisay sannadkii 1991” ayay xildhibaanadu ku yidhaahdeen qoraalkooda iyagoo xusay guusha ay Somaliland ka gaadhay mudadaas adkaynta nidaamka dawladnimo”hase yeeshee.” Ayay yidhaahdeen “27 sannadood ka dib, Ingiriiska ama beesha caalamku toona may aqoonsan qaranimada Somaliland. Tani waxay ka hor istaagaysaa dalka inuu ka mid noqdo wadamada barwaaqo sooranka iyo hay’adaha kale ee muhiimka ah ee fududeeya kobaca dhaqaalaha iyo horumarka.” Waxay xildhibaanadani qoraalkooda ku sheegeen inay Ingiriiska joogaan waxna ku bartaan dad badan oo reer Somaliland ah, “Tiro badan oo reer Somaliland ah ayaa wakhtigan ku nool, waxna ku barta Ingiriiska, kuwaas oo ay ku jiraan kumanaan ka mid ah deegaanada aanu metelno oo keliya.”, ayay lagu yidhi qoraalka, waxaanay xuseen in qurbo-joogtani ay xataa door muhiim ah ka qaataan sidii loo abnsixin lahaa xeerar muhiim ah oo xayirnaa, kuwaas oo ay ka mid yihiin xeerka ka hortagga gudniinka fircooniga ah.

Tani waa xaalad isbedel weyn oo muhiim ah u leh xidhiidhka dibada ee Ingiriiska, gaar ahaan dhanka ganacsiga iyo ammaanka. Waxaa jira heshiis cad oo xisbiyadu u dhan yihiin oo ku saabsan faa’iidooyinka ku lammaan in xidhiidh dhaw lala yeesho wadamada Barwaaqo-sooranka. Qaar badan oo dalalkan kamid ah, sida Somaliland, waa dhaqaale cusub oo soo koraya oo leh dhallinyaro iyo koboc dhaqaale oo sareeya, kuwaas oo aynu hore u wadaagnay luuqad, taariikh, dhaqan siyaasadeed iyo muwaadiniinba. Dawladda Ingiriiska waxaa bishii Abriil u bilowday laba sano oo ay guddoomin doonto ururka barwaaqa-sooranka, taas oo annagana noo noqon doonta fagaare aanu ka sii wadno iskaashiga iyo dadaalkayaga ku biirista ururka barwaaqa sooranka.” Ugu dambayn iyagoo baaq u diraya dawladda Ingiriiska waxay yidhaahdeen “Munaasabadda sannad guurada 58naad ee ka soo wareegtay markii Somaliland xorriyadda ka qaadatay Ingiriiska, oo ah maalinta Somaliland xaqa u siinaysa in ay ka mid noqoto ururka Barwaaqa-sooranka awgeed, waxa aan ugu baaqayaa dawladda Ingiriisku in ay bilowdo geeddisocodkii ay Somaliland kaga mid noqon lahayd beesha caalamka, taas oo fursado, faa’iidooyin iyo barwaaqo dheeraada u ah dalka, muwaadiniintiisa, iyo jaalkiisaba.” Caasimada Online Xafiiska London Caasimada@live.com

A dispute between Puntland and Somaliland over the contested areas of Sool and Sanaag risks escalating into open war. The UN, supported by states with influence on the two sides, should renew diplomatic efforts to broker a ceasefire and press both to enter negotiations. Somaliland troops march past during a parade to mark the 22nd anniversary of Somaliland’s self-declared independence from the larger Somalia, in Hargeisa on 18 May 2013. REUTERS/Feisal Omar What’s new? The self-declared republic of Somaliland and Puntland, an autonomous Somali region, are engaged in a perilous standoff over long-contested areas Sool and Sanaag. After repeated deadly clashes since the start of 2018, both sides are using incendiary rhetoric, are massing forces in the contested areas and have shunned UN diplomacy. Why does it matter? An escalation would likely herald a protracted conflict with devastating consequences for northern Somalia and the potential to fuel further instability across the country. It could provoke enormous displacement and create space for the Islamist Al-Shabaab insurgency and a small local Islamic State branch. What should be done? The UN should renew its mediation, with the Somali government and Ethiopia, which enjoys ties to Puntland and Somaliland, backing those efforts. Priorities are brokering a ceasefire and ensuring both sides commit to withdraw troops, allow in humanitarian aid, quieten inflammatory rhetoric and conduct future talks to resolve the dispute. I. Overview A longstanding military standoff between Somaliland and Puntland over the disputed Sool and Sanaag regions is in grave danger of escalating. Both sides are reportedly massing large numbers of troops close to Tukaraq, a strategically located town that has become a front line in the battle for control. The tempo of artillery and mortar shelling around the town appears to have increased since 22 June 2018. Leaders on both sides have stepped up inflammatory rhetoric. Efforts to mediate have petered out. Both Somaliland and Puntland have enjoyed relative peace and stability for nearly three decades as war plagued the rest of the country. Somaliland declared itself independent from Somalia in 1991 though no country formally recognises it as such. Puntland is a semi-autonomous federal state of Somalia, with its capital in Garowe. A confrontation between them would have disastrous consequences for much of northern Somalia but also risks contributing to instability across the country. It also could play into the hands of the Al-Shabaab insurgency or even the Islamic State (ISIS) branch in Puntland. African and Western leaders, seemingly caught off guard by the looming confrontation, should take urgent steps to head it off. The United Nations mission in Somalia, which had been mediating between the two sides, should renew those efforts. Ethiopia, which enjoys close ties to both Somaliland and Puntland and has helped calm previous disputes, should throw its weight behind UN efforts; others with influence, including potentially the United Arab Emirates and Western donors, should do the same. Mediation should focus on quickly brokering a ceasefire and seeking an agreement that would entail both sides pulling forces out of contested areas, guaranteeing access for humanitarian assistance to populations in those areas and submitting to a longer-term process, including third-party mediation, to find a durable solution to the dispute. In tandem with the mediation, the UN mission also should support local peacebuilding initiatives in both disputed areas, involving clerics and local clan leaders to initiate bottom-up reconciliation efforts, which have proven successful elsewhere in Somalia. II. The Recent Escalation and its Potential Costs Since 1998 Somaliland and Puntland have vied for control of the Sool and Sanaag regions, together comprising a neck of land stretching from the Gulf of Aden to the Ethiopian border. Thus far, 2018 has been an exceptionally violent year in this contest, with about twenty armed clashes recorded since January. A battle on 8 January saw Somaliland forces overrun Tukaraq, a town held by a small Puntland force, straddling a major highway and trade corridor that links Sool and Sanaag to eastern Ethiopia. The fighting left dozens of soldiers dead on both sides. The capture of Tukaraq, which coincided with an extensive tour of Puntland by Somali federal government President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed “Farmajo”, was seen as a warning from Somaliland to the Somali government against getting involved in the contested areas. On 15 May, tensions again spiralled into violence. A militia loyal to Puntland launched an attack on Somaliland army positions around Tukaraq. This time, intense fighting reportedly killed close to a hundred combatants, including fighters from both sides, making it the deadliest confrontation the conflict has yet seen. The loss of Tukaraq in January and the heavy casualties incurred since have gone down badly in Puntland. Politicians and the public have directed recriminations not only at the Somaliland government in Hargeisa but against the administration of Puntland President Abdiweli Gas. The president is under increasing pressure to act, especially given elections later this year that he hopes to win. The recapture of Tukaraq appears to be a priority. During the first weeks of June, Gas has chaired a series of meetings to mobilise support for an offensive; during the latest, he delivered an address to the state parliament in which he vowed to “liberate” all areas “occupied” by Somaliland. By ratcheting up such expectations, the president is taking a huge gamble. In the short term, he gains political capital, especially as the public mood hardens against Hargeisa. But a failed offensive would risk a serious backlash that could doom his re-election prospects. If Gas’s rhetoric is increasingly bellicose, so, too, is that of Somaliland leader Muse Bihi, who said: “If they want war we are ready. I will teach them the lesson that I taught [Siad Barre]”.Indeed, the two sides’ public statements suggest both are confident in a quick military win. They are likely miscalculating. Their militaries are almost equally matched in combat strength, equipment and experience so risk getting bogged down in a protracted conflict with enormous costs (perhaps Somaliland has a slight edge but unlikely enough of one for a decisive victory). Prolonged fighting would likely trigger mass displacement, compounding what has long been a humanitarian emergency in Somalia. Such a war would sow new instability in the region, exacerbate inter- and intra-clan frictions and perhaps allow jihadists active in remote coastal and mountain enclaves the opportunity to recruit and extend their reach. Puntland is particularly vulnerable to upheaval in the event of a lengthy war with Somaliland. Its forces are overstretched, fighting low-level but costly local insurgencies in the Galgala mountains along the northern coast; securing restive frontiers around Galkayo, south of Puntland in Somalia’s north-central region; and policing towns periodically targeted by a local ISIS branch and Al-Shabaab. War with Somaliland would force it to fight on multiple fronts, particularly because its rival potentially could stoke existing conflicts in an attempt to further sap Puntland’s military resources. For its part, Somaliland also has struggled to contain pockets of discontent in recent years. President Bihi’s administration has faced a recurrent inter-clan conflict in Ceel Afweyn, in Sanaag region, that pits two major branches of the Isaq clan – Bicido/East Burco Clan and Saad Yonis/Habar Yonis – against each other. The conflict’s roots lie in a long-running East Burco Clan versus Habar Yonis feud that intensified during the 2017 election, which Bihi, backed by a East Burco Clan-led alliance, won. That election increased regional and sub-clan rivalries, with much of the opposition to the Bihi administration now concentrated in the east, especially in Burco, Somaliland’s second largest city. Such local opposition to Hargeisa could expand into more serious political instability were the conflict with Puntland to escalate. For Somaliland a conflict with Puntland also could tarnish its hard-won regional and international reputation as a stable and well-run polity. The crucial donor support upon which Somaliland relies for its development is predicated not only on sustained progress in governance, but also on its restraint in and peaceful resolution of conflicts. A war over Sool and Sanaag risks eroding Somaliland’s standing abroad. III. The Long Road to Tukaraq The conflict over Sool and Sanaag has been gestating for decades. It owes its genesis, in large part, to the collapse of Somalia’s central state in 1991. Somaliland and Puntland went their own way but were at political odds, with the former unilaterally declaring independence in 1991 and the latter founding itself in 1998 as a federal state notionally loyal to a unified Somalia (though at the time no internationally recognised central government existed). The chaotic carve-up of territory in Somalia left large areas contested, beyond even the nominal control of either Somaliland or Puntland, with clans in those areas, including the Sool clan and East Sanaag Clan in Sool and Sanaag, aggrieved and disempowered. Both Somaliland and Puntland staked claims to these areas – with Somaliland’s bid based on boundaries drawn when it was a British protectorate, and Puntland’s on kinship ties between its largest clan, the Puntlandersten, and the two main clans living in Sool and Sanaag, the Sool clan and East Sanaag Clan. All three of these clans are part of the larger Darood/Harti clan family. This gave Garowe an advantage as it struggled against Hargeisa to win the loyalty of the Sool clan and East Sanaag Clan. For many years Puntland and Somaliland saw their competition as political. Both invested in better relations with the two clans, including paying two sets of “civil servants” to run parallel administrations, though allowing them a large degree of autonomy in running their affairs. Both Puntland and Somaliland co-opted senior Sool clan and East Sanaag Clan clan leaders by offering them high-level positions in the governments in Garowe and Hargeisa. But as the contests over the disputed territories intensified, pressure mounted on the two clans to pick sides. Political co-optation thus had a dangerous side effect, splintering the Sool clan and East Sanaag Clan clans and complicating the task of managing discontent in Sool and Sanaag. That failure both catalysed the militarisation of intra-clan conflict in the region and made it easier for local spats to escalate into fighting between Somaliland and Puntland forces. Beginning in 2007, Somaliland launched a series of military offensives to expand its authority eastward, seizing a string of towns and villages in Sool. The captured locales include Las Canod, Sool’s provincial capital. Presidents Gas and Bihi continue to invoke history and self-defined principles of territorial integrity to press their claims to Sool and Sanaag. In addition to clan ties, Puntland projects itself as a champion of a unified Somalia. In a 23 June speech in Puntland’s parliament, Gas rejected the validity of colonial cartography as an arbiter of the conflict, adding it was Puntland’s “sacred duty” to “liberate” the contested regions through force. For their part, Somaliland leaders defend the British-drawn boundaries and assert their “right” to administer what they regard as sovereign territory. Sool and Sanaag, they argue, have long been part of Somaliland.Both sides thus characterise the dispute in stark terms, seeming to leave little room for compromise. IV. Averting War Somalia’s foreign partners appear to underestimate the risk of conflict in the north. They tend to assess the north’s stability in reference to the south – a low bar that may have meant warning signs slipped under the radar. That the crisis has deteriorated almost to the point of open war speaks to a number of realities. Outside powers have mostly preferred “positive” narratives that oversell the north’s recovery – and that of Somalia more broadly – and downplay risks. Leaders in both Puntland and Somaliland appear wedded to brinksmanship and believe they have little incentive to make peace. Local and international mediation systems are disjointed and mostly reactive. A marked exception was the early warning role played by the special representative of the UN secretary-general for Somalia, Michael Keating. This, combined with Keating’s shuttle diplomacy between Garowe and Hargeisa, temporarily helped de-escalate tensions. Both sides subsequently rejected his overtures. But renewed efforts by the UN envoy, with clear statements of support by the Somali government and behind-the-scenes diplomacy by influential outside powers, likely offer the best means to de-escalate the looming confrontation. President Farmajo, to his credit, has made repeated appeals for both sides to show restraint. Alone he lacks sufficient leverage to persuade them to step back, particularly as his relations with both Hargeisa and Garowe are strained. But Farmajo’s voice is important. He should continue to call on both sides to avert war, press for UN mediation and avoid giving any sense that Mogadishu supports Puntland’s belligerence (his statement on 26 June 2018, Somalia’s Independence Day, struck precisely the right tone). He also should redouble efforts to smooth his own relations with President Gas and resume dialogue with Somaliland, suspended since 2017.Ethiopia, arguably, is the one country with longstanding ties to and real leverage over both Puntland and Somaliland. Addis Ababa’s past interventions were instrumental in brokering temporary truces. This time, however, Ethiopia has appeared reluctant to get involved, possibly due in part to the complexity of the crisis – its inter- and intra-clan conflicts, colonial borders and secession issues – and in part to wariness that an intervention could be perceived by Somalis as meddling and inflame anti-Ethiopian sentiment. That said, Ethiopia’s new prime minister, Abiy Ahmed, has stepped up the country’s diplomatic engagement in Africa and beyond. Somali leaders and foreign diplomats largely welcomed his visit to Mogadishu in June as an ambitious but promising attempt to recalibrate Ethiopia’s traditionally troubled relations with its eastern neighbour. Prime Minister Abiy has his hands full with his reform agenda, security concerns and a still unsettled transition at home, efforts to make peace with Eritrea and calls for his intervention in other regional crises, notably by bolstering Ethiopia’s role in mediating South Sudan’s civil war. Tasking him with resolving a conflict in northern Somalia that may appear less strategically significant might be a tough ask. But the implications of an escalation around Tukaraq for the stability of Somalia as a whole should be of concern to Addis Ababa. Prime Minister Abiy should lend his country’s heft to efforts by the UN, pressing Garowe and Hargeisa to allow for a renewal of UN efforts. The UAE, which after Prime Minister Abiy’s June 2018 visit to Abu Dhabi appears to have reinvigorated its cooperation and relations with Ethiopia, and maintains close ties with both Puntland and Somaliland, could also help defuse tensions. An escalation would clearly be detrimental to Emirati interests, likely upsetting Abu Dhabi’s significant investments in both Somaliland and Puntland. For now, a visible Emirati role might not make sense, given friction between Abu Dhabi and Mogadishu (though relations may improve, as some reports suggest Abiy is mediating between the Emirati and Somali governments). Even now, though, the UAE and other states could discretely encourage Puntland and Somaliland leaders to accept UN mediation. The immediate goal of any mediation should be to quickly broker a truce. Parties should tone down provocative rhetoric, pull combat forces out of contested areas, particularly around Tukaraq, allow in humanitarian aid, and submit to a process of third-party mediation, without precondition, to find a longer-term solution to the dispute. One option for the latter might be the African Union Border Programme, which is part of the African Union (AU)’s Peace and Security Department and which has a full-fledged team that arbitrates and demarcates disputed borders. Though in principle this applies only to borders between states, AU officials have expressed a willingness to play a role. According to one senior AU official: “We have called on the Somali government and written a note verbale to appeal to them to utilise the AU Border Programme tool to resolve internal border disputes. If they give us a try we can turn that border into one of cooperation and not conflict.” Beside renewing its mediation efforts, the UN mission should initiate local peacebuilding efforts in both disputed areas. Such efforts should involve clerics and local clan leaders to initiate grassroots reconciliation efforts, which have helped bridge divisions and curb violence in other parts of Somalia. V. Conclusion Puntland and Somaliland are sliding toward a protracted conflict with enormously destabilising consequences for not only northern Somalia but the country as a whole. War is still avoidable, but to forestall it both sides need to take a step back, dial down their rhetoric and allow for mediation led by the UN. Their long-running dispute over Soog and Sanaag regions will inevitably take time to resolve. But the priority today is for the two sides to de-escalate, arrive at some modus vivendi and accept a mechanism for determining that status. The alternative is a war in northern Somalia that would be extremely costly to both sides, tarnish their international reputations, worsen an already grave humanitarian predicament and undercut efforts to counter Al-Shabaab and the small, but deadly ISIS branch in Puntland.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Magnificent and the Most Benevolent: Thanks to Allah that made us possible to commemorate 58 years of Independence. I would like to extend warm greetings to the dignitaries from the embassies, neighboring countries, UN staff, and other distinguished guests. The chairman of the House of Elders(Guurti), the chairman of the House of Representatives, Chief Justice, Former vice presidents, top brass official of UCID and WADDANI and KULMIYE Parties, Ethiopian Ambassador to Somaliland, Turkey envoy, Djibouti envoy and EU officials: May the Peace, Mercy and Blessing of Allah be Upon You. I hereby extend my congratulatory message to the people of Somaliland on this occasion of commemorating 58 years of Independence from Britain on the 26th June, 1960. As a result, many countries recognized Somaliland as a state at that time. I am also indebted to the security forces that stood up to defend their country in the hardships. I would like to point out some few lines on this historic day – 26th June. Somaliland was under the British Protectorate whilst Somalia was colonized by the Italians. Then, our country, seeking the unity of all the Somali people, in the Horn of Africa, united with the Somalia under the colony of Italy on 1st July, 1960. I would like to remind you that Somaliland parliament carried out a debate on 27th June, 1960. They agreed upon the unification with Somalia unconditionally. Only two members – Mohamed H Ibrahim Egal and Garad Ali opposed that decision and suggested further consultations. On that day, zealous women and children were encouraging the unity as they also refuted against anyone who lambasted the unity. Consequently, 30 years of animosity and hostility started for Somaliland hailing people, but fortunately Somaliland reclaimed its sovereignty on May 18th, 1991. After the rebirth of Somaliland, Somalia perpetrated calumnious hostilities against the people of Somaliland. Apart from the defamatory animosities and interference, Somalia confronted the world in helping Somaliland. As you aware of, last week, the PM of Somalia wrote a letter requesting to suspend the aid of International Community over Somaliland. The regional state presidents all Somalia have also endorsed the decision and wrote the same letter to the world asking the same demand. We are mystified about the contradictory statements – Somali people must be united – unity is sacred and at the same time igniting fracas and skirmishes, writing up letters against donating Somaliland. Ladies and Gentlemen You have recently seen the incumbent president of Somalia Mohamed Abdillahi Farmajo and his regional president Abdi Weli rejecting the borders demarcated by the colonialists. A defined border is what Africa is built on. Farmajo and his colleagues claim a country with one ethnic group – if each ethnic group rules his region, I cannot speculate the image of the Horn of Africa and how it will look like. Fresh chaotic wars will start. Ladies and Gentlemen, I want pose a pertinent question to President Farmajo and the president of Puntland region: if you want rule an ethnic group hailing from the same clan, are you eligible to rule Mogadisho or Somalia currently? Ladies and Gentlemen, The unity of greater Somalia failed and it is a place of no turn. The tentative solution is to live with peace and cooperate. Through good neighborhood and cooperation, both our countries will achieve tangible developments. Somaliland security forces are still inside 75 km within their borders. They experience fresh skirmishes – we are still asking why? The retort is that Abdi Wali is going to get a 2-year extension on election. That is not the right way of thinking and pondering – what about those losing their lives! Ladies and Gentlemen, We are altruistic about the residents of Lasanod, Garowe, Hargeisa, Qardho and Somali people at large – we are exhausted about war. We strongly believe that contentions are tackled through in-depth discussions and negotiations. Ladies and Gentlemen, Conflicts have been in existence since time immemorial – it is why a government is built – it is why security forces are recruited. I want to reveal you that the Grand Conference in Ga’an Libah is not threat to Somaliland – it will yield pleasant product for Somaliland. I was not a member and I have not seen the agenda, but due to my experience, the participants of that Conference are those who struggled and sacrificed themselves for the sake of the Republic of Somaliland. I reiterate; the yield will stress that the unity of Somaliland is of paramount, the independence is untouchable and that the controversial matters should be grappled with around the negotiating table. Ladies and Gentlemen, Another major in-wait issue is Eel-af-Weyn Peace Conference. We’ll dispatch from Hargeisa to participate the conference. We have experienced far greater contentions (vendettas) but we have successfully tackled with them. The conference will commence on 1st July, and we are very hopeful on the outcomes. Ladies and Gentlemen, Opposition parties eager the development of the country. We all like our country – we differ on ways to tackling tasks. Opposition parties do not come with slanderous and defamatory statements against their country and I appreciate that. I urge them to work out the unity of the people of Somaliland. The citizens should not also expect negative outcomes from the opposition parties. Ladies and Gentlemen, We have experienced natural disasters: prolonged drought, stormy cyclones, unemployment, and low economic income. We have done dramatic job to tackle those most pressing issues. On 1st December, we’ll embark on the expansion of Berbera Port and Berbera Corridor Project. The feasibility study of Berbera Corridor has been commenced on. Also, the surveys and pilot studies on the sea have been undertaken. Ladies and Gentlemen, The free zone in Berbera will also be put in place very soon. You – the people of Somaliland – should welcome the investors. Investors are very clever people. They want inject us robust investment. They want us stand by them. We want be civilized people to make use of these investments. We need to reach mutual benefit for both sides. We are in dire need to learn and discover ways of swapping interests and sharing common things with the outside world. Furthermore, investors need a free, vast land, quality roads, water, electricity, skilled labour, a legal license, a force that maintains its security. All these need consecutive trainings. Ladies and Gentlemen, We welcome the recently appointed PM for Ethiopia Dr Abby Ahmed and his dramatic changes in the Horn of Africa. The new PM has opened a new page for the history of Ethiopia after bolstering relations with most the rival countries. We condemn in the strongest terms for the terror attack that occurred during the rally of supporting the PM in Addis Ababa. The same condemnation goes to the barbaric attack in Las Anod town committed by a Garowe supported militia. Ladies and Gentlemen, I want also extend my congratulations to Djibouti people for their Independence Day which is dated on 27th June. To sum up, I am very grateful for the security forces. We must always stand up for them. We must combat them. We all know that security forces tighten the security of this country. At the moment, they are on the front line of the defense because Garowe administration is preparing fresh war to make use of this celebration. We support our troops morally and materially. They deserve to be respected and deemed as heroes. United We Stand Divided We Fall, Always Hands in Glove

Street Children in Somaliland: The Neglected and Unwanted To make matter worse, there are weak governmental institutions and other public agencies that are mandated to be responsive to the needs and priorities of street children. Somaliland has a wonderful history with great achievements in the profile of democracy and the dynamics of socio-economic and political development since 1991. With all these, as urbanization takes place, the number of street children have been increasing thus remain threatened, isolated and neglected in this contemporary society where every social problem is concerned but needs of street children are not addressed. Much of what we now know as street children in Somaliland was caused by family breakdown which weakened family functioning and the overall structure of the family. In other cases, children join street children when both families and children fail to fulfill socially and religiously constructed family roles in the society. Further, street children often face huge social, physical and emotional problems which not only affect the biological systems of the street children but also leave psychological consequences that take all their developmental stages. It is very common to see large number of street children is endangered by the society attacking them to harm since they are powerless and their voices are never heard. Moreover, they are weakened by the extreme weather conditions and it is because of these that some of them remain unhealthy, and die of different diseases. To make matter worse, there are weak governmental institutions and other public agencies that are mandated to be responsive to the needs and priorities of street children. As a result, the condition of street children is not considered as new and emerging social issue which can result the development of gang groups that can disturb peace and stability which is one of the foundations of Somaliland existence. Besides, young girls are also part of the street children that are more vulnerable and often face sexual and emotional violence from gang groups, men and sometimes are exploited in enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy and sexual slavery. In recent years, these children are used by gang groups and smugglers to rob and sell illegal drugs in the black matter. To address the growing risks of street children, transformative and collaborative approach to support street children which gathers together youth-led organizations working on the protection of children; government agencies aiming to safeguard children and youth; and child care and rehabilitation services. Programs encompassing education, health, social protection and child protection are regarded to be the most effective responses that can lower the stress of street children. Some voluntary youth networks like Save a Street Child Foundation and many others paid close attention to street children by distributing clothes, connecting them to rehabilitation centers and seeking further contributions for them.
