The SIAD BARRE regime was ousted in January 1991; turmoil, factional
fighting, and anarchy have followed for eleven years. In May of 1991,
northern clans declared an independent Republic of Somaliland that
now includes the administrative regions of Awdal, Woqooyi Galbeed,
Togdheer, Sanaag, and Sool. Although not recognized by any government,
this entity has maintained a stable existence, aided by the overwhelming
dominance of a ruling clan and economic infrastructure left behind
by British, Russian, and American military assistance programs. The
regions of Bari and Nugaal comprise a neighboring self-declared autonomous
state of Puntland, which has been self-governing since 1998, but does
not aim at independence; it has also made strides towards reconstructing
legitimate, representative government. Puntland also claims Sool and
eastern Sanaag. Beginning in 1993, a two-year UN humanitarian effort
(primarily in the south) was able to alleviate famine conditions,
but when the UN withdrew in 1995, having suffered significant casualties,
order still had not been restored. A Transitional National Government
(TNG) was created in August 2000 in Arta, Djibouti which was attended
by a broad representation of Somali clans. The TNG has a three-year
mandate to create a permanent national Somali government. The TNG
does not recognize Somaliland as an independent republic but so far
has been unable to reunite either Somaliland or Puntland with the
unstable regions in the south. Numerous warlords and factions are
still fighting for control of Mogadishu and the other southern regions.
Suspicion of Somali links with global terrorism complicate the picture.
