Per PersonPuntland is named after the legendary land known to the ancient Egyptians as Punt, and includes Cape Guardafui, the most eastern point in Africa. In August 1998, the new government was formed in response to escalating clan warfare in southern Somalia following Siad Barre’s fall, and its constitution was drafted at a three-month constitutional conference in Garoowe, which was attended by the region’s leading politicians, clan elders, businessmen, and intellectuals.
Puntland has a similar political structure to Somaliland, in which clan elders play an important role in supporting the democratically elected president. But unlike its western neighbor, it has never sought formal independence, and its long-term goal is to become a federal state within a greater Somalia. Located in the northeastern part of Somalia, it is the country’s largest and most beautiful coastline. It has a very warm climate, however, its beautiful beaches will allow you to withstand the heat without difficulty. Puntland has access to both the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean, which would be ideal for sailing if there were no pirates. Therefore, if you do not wish to run into the real Jack Sparrow, it would be best to stay near the shoreline.
