Closed on

Support the Somaliland application for Commonwealth memmbership

Responsible department: Foreign and Commonwealth Office

Somaliland is a former British Colony. It is stable, democratic and has a growing economy. The history of the 2 countries lasted 80 years and many people from Somaliland fought alongside us in 2 world wars. Membership of the commonwealth family will greatly enhance the distinction between Somaliland and it's troubled neighbour to the south.

Many people from Somaliland settled here over 100 years ago and from generation to generation they have contributed to British Society.
