Located just near the strategic entryway to the Red Sea, Somaliland is an autonomous region in Somalia. It declared unilateral independence in 1991 but is not recognised by any other nation. Despite this, it has its own government, currency and security structures. Its government has been pushing to gain international recognition a move which has angered Somalia. The polls come at a time when tensions are heightened. Candidates running for Somaliland's president have put international recognition as a clear agenda. Watch for more details.
