11:01Now PlayingIn Somalia, there is an investigation after news that civilians were killed during a confrontation between African Union Peacekeeping troops and Al-Shabab fighters.
However, on the other side of the country is Somaliland, a relatively peaceful region. While Somaliland was a British colony and Somalia was colonized by Italy, they are essentially two countries on one land. Somaliland declared itself independent from Somalia in 1991 and has enjoyed a stable and democratically elected government ever since.
However, the Somaliland people have said that it’s long overdue that the international community recognizes them as their own country.
Dr. Saad Ali Shire, minister of finance of the Republic of Somaliland, joins Marc Lamont Hill on “Black News Tonight” to talk about the state of the country.
All this and more on “Black News Tonight.”
