A group of scholars from the Sool, Sanaag, and Cayn regions in Somalia devised a solution to establish and maintain peace in the area between Somaliland and Puntland.


Scholars proposed to create a new state, Northland State of Somalia , located between Somaliland and Puntland.

As we all know, Somalia installed and adapted a federal government that believes in a federalism system. Somalia ’s federal constitution states that two or more region can establish their own state. We have the support of the executive branch and parliament of the federal government of Somalia .


As you know, Somaliland spends millions of dollars and has lost of hundreds of lives to close their borders. Similarly, Puntland State spends millions dollars and has lost of hundreds of lives to defend their borders.

However, the people living in the Sool, Sanaag, and Cayn regions are caught in the conflict between Somaliland and Puntland.

These regions between Somaliland and Puntland have become the most dangerous regions in the northern part of Somalia because of the war between Puntland and Somaliland .

The war contributes to the closure of the schools, businesses, hospitals, airports, traffic disruptions and loss of lives throughout Somalia , but most especially in the Sool, Sanaag, and Cayn regions.


Furthermore, Somaliland and Puntland each claim these regions as their own. When Somaliland claims the regions, people who do not believe in their system flee the region becoming homeless in Garoowe, sometimes leaving their children behind in the region with its unstable infrastructure.

Similarly, when Puntland controls these regions, people who do not like their system flee the area, becoming homeless in Hargeysa, and leaving their children in the region with its unstable infrastructure.


Scholars believe the establishment of Northland State of Somalia will create a stable, consistent government in the region that will benefit and rebuild the region. This government will work with the federal government and international community to rebuild the schools, hospitals, airports and roads.

Northland State of Somalia will establish a democratic system for people and will strengthen the rights of all, including women. Currently, scholars are traveling around the world to promote the idea to the Somali Diaspora.

We request the international community’s support and recognition of the new state in Somalia . We have included a map that will give you the size of these regions, the locations, and the cities names.
