This border is incorrect. Somaliland is not internationally recognized as a separate country by the UN, African Union, or any major international body. The official map of Somalia has 18 administrative regions only. Please remove this artificial country boundary or reflect the correct administrative divisions of Somalia (18 regions).

This borderline that stretch’s from this part of Somalia all the way to the sea is misleading and incorrect. According to the correct maps this borderline does not appear in major maps. The state of Somaliland is unrecognized, therefor this is incorrect. Since this is an international dispute, the internationally recognized country is known as Somalia.

This is a clear violation of Somalia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, as well as international laws and regulations.
