Somaliland has marked its 32nd anniversary of national day with a grand celebration that saw a massive turnout of enthusiastic citizens. A sea of people flooded the streets, adorned in attire featuring the colors of the Somaliland flag, as they commemorated the historic day that signifies the country’s withdrawal from unity with Somalia in 1991.
The atmosphere in the capital city of Hargeisa and other major towns was filled with joy, and patriotism as people of all ages and backgrounds joined together to honor Somaliland’s national day. The celebrations, which had been eagerly anticipated, kicked off with a series of events and activities throughout the day.
In a unique display of enthusiasm, some celebrators could not wait for the official day and began their preliminary celebrations the previous nights. The spirit of the occasion was contagious, spreading across the region as communities came together to celebrate their shared identity and heritage.
The main event of the day took place in Hargeisa, where a stage was set up for speeches and cultural performances. While the anniversary celebration was filled with joy and festivity, there was also an underlying call for international recognition.
Somaliland has been seeking international recognition since its declaration of withdrawal from unity with Somalia, and being a member of the United Nations remains a key goal for the country. The people of Somaliland hope that their continuous efforts, coupled with their achievements in maintaining stability, democracy, and development, will eventually lead to the recognition they desire.
Despite facing challenges as an unrecognized state, Somaliland has made significant progress in various sectors, including education, healthcare, and infrastructure. The celebration of the national day served as a reminder of the country’s determination to forge its own path and build a prosperous future for its citizens.
