Somaliland Calls For Help With Drought















Hargeisa - The government of Somaliland has asked for aid in the face of its continuing drought. Vice President Ahmed Yusuf Yasin has called on rich countries to send help to avert a disaster.

He has asked his fellow citizens to pray for rain in the coming eight days. If rain does not fall by then, he wants people to pray in public. Should this happen, schools will be closed and work stopped to enable people togather.

Somaliland, which broke away from Somalia in 1991, has never been officially recognised as an independent state.
