People sometimes say sometimes Somaliland is truly the first state but there is a big debate if that is true or not. Because SL wasn't formed with the people's will but through the use of guns and violence and it's struggling to hold grip of it's administration. Where-as PL was formed with the people's will. If all the guns are taken from SL, it falls. If all the guns r taken from PL, it stands cuz the people ACCEPTED it non violently.
So who is the first state? Debate it out Puntlanders
