The Somaliland Declaration of Independence (formally Republic of Somaliland) was proclaimed on 18 May 1991 by Somali Sultans from the Isaaq, Dhulbahante, Issa, Gadabursi, and Warsangali clans and the Somali National Movement.
This came after a bloody rebellion fought by SNM against dictator Mohamed Siyad Barre and his Somalia army then fourth most powerful in Africa.
But as with other historic sights of Somaliland like the centuries old and british Built Womens Hall and Indian line in Hargeisa and Maqahiida Inanta SNM revels tea house in Gabile district , successive governments have let them disappear.
The so called declaration of Independence of what is now known only by some Isaaq clans as the Republica of Somaliland, was signed by the then SNM malatia Blood hounds, Who at gun point compeled Dulbahante, Warsangali, Gudubirsi, Isse and a good Number of Isaaq Sultana to accept It. SNM malatia didn’t liberate anyone from a dictator, but looted and slaughtered the civilian population of Dulbahante, Gudubirsi, Warsangali, Isse and Isaaq.
