A map showing the political situation in early 2008. de facto independent Somaliland is shown in brown; the interim government is shown in blue; the grey areas are controlled by local warlords, clans and fractions.

Because of political instabilities and fighting between different parties, there is currently no government in Somalia. This has been the case since the early 1990s. People in part of Somalia have made their own government, and call it the Republic of Somaliland, but no other country in the world calls Somaliland a country.
