Somaliland has marked its first year of independence after receiving recognition from Israel, but some people in the breakaway region are not celebrating this new ally. Thousands gathered in the capital to commemorate the occasion, despite protests and opposition from some groups. The move is seen as a significant shift for Somaliland, which declared independence from Somalia in 1991. The Israeli recognition has raised hopes for improved relations with other countries, particularly the United States and Europe.
