Somaliland The Invisible Nation
Students outside the Univeristy of Burao, Somaliland, on Wednesday, July 25, 2007. The university opened in 2004 with one classroom and has grown to become the 2nd biggest university in the country.
Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in May 1991, after a brutal civil war ended with the overthrow of military dictator Siad Barre. For the past 16 years the country has operated as a de facto state with relative stability; it has a constitution, a working political system, government institutions, police and military and its own currency. The multi-party elections of 2002 were declared the most peaceful in Africa for 20 years.
However, despite its success, no country formally recognizes Somaliland's sovereignty. With high unemployment and widespread poverty Somaliland's leaders believe recognition will pave the way for much needed aid and support from International financial institutions. With officially recognized diplomatic offices in London and Brussels and improving relations with many other nations, Somaliland is making increasingly credible claims to statehood.

Eritrea: A Country in Isolation
The mountainous landscape on the road between Asmara and Massawa, Eritrea, on Monday, Apr. 30, 2007.
Eritrea is becoming increasingly isolated as tension mounts with its neighbor and long time enemy Ethiopia. US-backed Ethiopia accuses Eritrea of helping insurgents in Somalia and the Ogaden region and recent months have seen a massive troop build-up along the disputed Ethiopian-Ertirean border. With the ousted Somali Islamic Courts finding sanctuary in the capital Asmara, and the US State Department threatening to designate Eritrea a state sponsor of terrorism, the country's future looks more and more unstable.

Sudan: Economic Boom in Khartoum
Dr Adul-Rahim Hamdi is seen in Khartoum, Sudan, on Wednesday, April 4, 2007. Dr Hamdi is one of the most influential men in Khartoum. In the 70's and 80's he founded 4 Sudanese banks and in 2004 set up the Khartoum stock exchange. After his coup in 1989, President Omar al-Bashir turned to Dr Hamdi to rescue the economy.
Khartoum is modeling itself as the Dubai of Africa and despite Western sanctions the city is booming. Away from the troubles and poverty that plaque the rest of Sudan, development in Khartoum is moving at an astonishing rate. Investment from the East, and in particular China, allowed the Sudanese economy to grow by 11% in 2007. This growth is driven largely by oil, with production rising from 63,000 barrels per day in 1999 to over 500,000 barrels today. (FOTO: DUKAS/WORLDPICTURENEWS)
