Somaliland’s main opposition leader has hinted at a possible unification with Somalia ahead of next year’s elections.

Somaliland, which acquired independence in 1991 during the civil war that erupted after the collapse of Siyad Barre, still remains an autonomous region of Somalia, subject to the Somali Federal Government (SFG) in Mogadishu.

The election will be the fourth elections in the country, previous ones having taken place in 2003, 2010 and 2005 (parliamentary polls). Since the 1960s, when most of the African countries acquired their independence, there have only only two significant alterations to the colonial map.
These are the division of Eritrea from Ethiopia in 1993 and South Sudan from Sudan in 2011.
