- From the cave paintings at Laas Geel to striking colonial architecture, the people of this self-declared East African nation have good reason to be proud. It is well worth a visit, even if tourism infrastructure is lacking Rather surprisingly, as a Briton, I feel at home in Hargeisa, the rambunctious capital of Somaliland, a country that doesn’t legally exist. It is partly because the locals gather for tea and a slice of cake in the afternoon, but also because I find myself being hailed by Somalilanders with distinctly London accents. “What brings you here, mate? Good to see ya!” proclaims one returned diaspora man, leaning out of his car window.
