Today, Puntland and Somaliland are laying the foundation of the Somali Nation, and the International Community has acknowledged their efforts. The International Community, therefore, needs to support economically these regions. We must reward those who have made serious efforts to restore security and peace to protect human rights. Puntland and Somaliland have attempted to reconstruct their previously meager infrastructure and they have made great strides towards tangible development. The Recovery Zones today represent bright stars in otherwise gloomy African State failures.
Freedom of speech is prevalent.
Most businesses are private and are run by bright, young locals and western educated repatriates. They are young men and women of all strides. Today, by product of private investments, all major cities in the Recovery Zones are proud to have one of the best Landline Telephone Systems and Mobile Telecommunications Technologies in the whole of Africa. In April, the first Internet Server with 56K V90 Modems were placed in Boosaaso, Puntland. Other Internet projects are in the works for other cities in the Recovery Zones.
