No security checks, no bag check. You want to the Minister, one must overcome a few levels, already it is located inside the Government building. The
Minister still dispenses with a few other symbols of power, which are
often common in Africa - hours wait despite an appointment for example. With only ten minutes late rushes Shukri Bandaré, a little woman about 50, by the gate of their Ministry, apologizes and takes place on a bench in the green courtyard. She wears a head scarf tied around the face closely, her English is fluent Somali accent is strong and proud.
Shukri Bandaré is of Somaliland Minister of the environment. A State that officially did not exist and therefore lack of international support. However,
Somaliland coped compared with its neighbors quite well in recent
years - the current drought crisis could threaten the small success
story in the Horn of Africa, however.
