Somaliland, officially the State of Somaliland,[4][5] (Somali: Dawladda Soomaaliland, Arabic: دولة صوماليلاند, romanized: Dawlat Ṣūmālīlānd) was a short-lived independent country in the territory of the present-day unilaterally declared Republic of Somaliland, which regards itself as its legal successor.[1] It existed on the territory of former British Somaliland for five days between 26 June 1960 and 1 July 1960, when it merged with the formerly Italian administered Trust Territory of Somaliland to form the Somali Republic.[6][7]
