Somaliland is a remarkable outlier in the Horn of Africa: a stable, democratic and safe region that is largely overlooked by the world.
During my recent visit, I spoke with Somaliland’s former First Lady, Kalttoum Egal, who offered a compelling insight into the country’s unique success.
Egal shared the story of her late husband, Egal Mohamed, who became the second president of Somaliland in 1993. “My husband, when he was 25, started politics. He worked tirelessly for Somaliland,” she said.
