State of Somaliland
Somaliland, officially the State of Somaliland, (Somali: Qaranka Soomaaliland, Arabic: دولة أرض الصومال, romanized: Dawlat Arḍ aṣ-Ṣūmāl) was a short-lived independent country in the territory of the present-day unilaterally declared Republic of Somaliland, which claims to be its legal successor. It existed on the territory of former British Somaliland for five days between 26 June 1960 and 1 July 1960, when it merged with the formerly Italian administered Trust Territory of Somaliland to form the Somali Republic.
