How many of you are aware that there are traditional monarchies within the Republic of Somaliland?
The Republic of Somaliland covers the same territory as the old British Somaliland Protectorate.
Somaliland seceded from its ill-advised union with Somalia in 1991 to regain its independence.
Although Somaliland has still been unjustly denied recognition as a proper country,it has managed to create its own constitutional system.
In addition to the bicameral Parliament of Somaliland,there is a council of traditional leaders - most of whom have the title of Sultan.
