:Puntland doesn't currently claim independence but it did declare what it called a temporary independence from Somalia in 1998. The first time it claimed to be part of a federal Somalia was in 2001 when it adopted its transitional constitution. (Which stands to reason, as there was no government to claim to be under in 1998). You may be right about Jubaland, I'm not sure. Whatever the case the state listed here apparently ceased to exist in 1999 so I'll take it off the list for now.
