    Overlapping claims by Somaliland and Puntland The case of Sool and Sanaag Omar S Mahmood Over the past two years, tensions over competing claims to the Sool and Sanaag regions by the self-declared entity of Somaliland and the autonomous Puntland State of Somalia have escalated.

Authorities have endorsed the SDGs and included them in the national development framework, the Somaliland National Development Plan II (NDPII). Nonetheless, the government of Somaliland remains unable to share this progress with official UN mechanisms because of its political status. To ensure that Somaliland’s efforts to implement the SDGs are shared with the rest of the world, civil society has decided to fill the gap – and report on the process and progress on SDG16+ implementation in Somaliland. This is an independent progress report that is produced and owned by the Somaliland SDG16+ Coalition – a group of civil society organisations working to implement SDG16+ in all regions of Somaliland. The report itself is a result of an inclusive and comprehensive consultation process involving civil society and relevant government organs and departments.

Northwest in nopirates there Why are Horn: on Africa’s Resource The Lootable The lootable resource on Africa’s Horn Why are there no pirates in Northwest Somalia? And why are they everywhere else? Andreas Bruvik Westberg Spring 2011 Master’s thesis in Political Science Department of Sociology and Political Science (ISS) Norwegian University of Science and Technology i Abstract: In this thesis I wish to examine the underlying mechanisms that caused the onset of piracy in Somalia. Since the 1990s piracy has spread like wildfire from the Northeast of Somalia and Southwards. Yet it has failed to take root in the Northwest. Why are there no pirates there? And why are they everywhere else? To explain the onset of piracy I introduce conflict study literature on lootable resources and actors in conflict. I propose that the concepts of lootability and obstructability enable us to understand why, when and how individuals and groups decide to violently appropriate international shipping. The presence of weak institutional authority, economic marginalization and a heavy reliance on artisanal fishing appear to be important contributors to the presence of piracy. My main conclusion is, furthermore, that while the precise activity of hunting down and hijacking is a new phenomenon, the activity of looting international shipping and demanding ransom is no stranger to the shores of the Northeast.
