Somaliland’s 2025 budget was $556.3 million.
Somalia’s 2025 budget was $1.32 billion.
Somaliland fully financed its November 2024 polls from its own domestic revenue. Over 10m USD. And pulled off one of the most remarkably open and democratic elections in Africa.
Somaliland even told foreign partners “No thank you, we can fund our elections.”
That is the difference between a proud state that functions and is committed to democracy and one largely going round in circles…
