On 26 June 1960, British Somaliland declared independence as the State of Somaliland. Five days later, on 1 July 1960, the State of Somaliland voluntarily united with the Trust Territory of Somalia (the former Italian Somalia) to form the Somali Republic.The government of Somaliland, a self-declared sovereign state that is internationally recognised as an autonomous region of Somalia, regards itself as the successor state to British Somaliland. In 1991, after a bloody civil war for independence in the northern part of Somali Democratic Republic, the area which formerly encompassed British Somaliland declared independence. In May 1991, the formation of the "Republic of Somaliland" was proclaimed, with the local government regarding it as the successor to the former British Somaliland as well as to the State of Somaliland. However, the Somaliland region's self-declared independence remains unrecognised by any country.

I just know there's going to be racial abuse mentioned somewhere. I can also see immigrants using this example as a means to get in a country illegally, " I can run, why can't I stay". Before woke accuses me of being racist its not because I'm white, its because I'm cynical....why not highlight immigration problems when his famous and not when his seeking new employment.

Lol guys as Somalian Since the outbreak of war in our country, all the people who got the chance to move to foreign countries have helped their relatives who stayed in refugee camps or inside Somalia. People brought their friends or relatives as if they were family members. I mean, they lied about the immigration file. The same thing happened with this man. He was brought in by one of his relatives. He lied in this report, It is normal to ask senior family members to take care of young ones who may work for you unfairly, but in the end they are your family and they brought you illegally with your consent or the consent of your parents in Somalia. If he wasn't famous, he would have been deported immediately after it was revealed that he came through a fraudulent immigration file
