Somaliland, a confirmação
Este texto confirma a minha hipótese. Temos, na realidade, um território homogéneo, etnicamente falando, e uma estrutura social baseada no clã; cada vez mais dominante por força da implosão das frágeis estruturas do Estado criadas com o processo de independência.
Nevertheless, Somaliland has one of the most homogenous populations in Africa, with virtually the entire population belonging to Hamitic (Cushitic) ethnic group and speaking Somali as their first language. Somalis of Somaliland are united by language, culture, Islamic religion (with an added dash of prehistoric superstitiousness), common descent and tradition primarily based on pastoral nomadism. They share ethnicity with their neighbors in the Horn of Africa: Oromos, Afar, and Rendille. Somaliland's population is variously estimated between two and three million, where half of them resided in the northwest region, and the spatial distributions of the population was shaped strongly by historical patterns.
