   Polls have closed!
   In Somaliland that is. The only fully functioning democracy in the Horn of Africa held Presidential elections today, with over a million registered voters. Since 1991, Somaliland has been a self declared independent republic. It isn't formally recognized as a state by the international community & is considered a part of Somalia.

   President Muse Bihi Abdi & two competitors are each promising voters that they will secure international recognition if elected.
