(FILES) This file photo taken on May 18, 2016 shows a woman waving a flag as soldiers and other military personnel of Somalia's breakaway territory of Somaliland march past during an Independence day celebration parade in the capital, Hargeisa. The self-proclaimed state of Somaliland will vote for a new president on November 13, 2017, hoping to continue a series of democratic transitions of power that sets it apart from its troubled neighbour Somalia. The northern territory, which is more tribally homogenous and stable than the rest of Somalia, broke away in 1991 and has been striving to attain international recognition ever since. / AFP PHOTO / MOHAMED ABDIWAHAB
