#1 SW: All the three parties declared constant wide national demonstrations against the policy of what they called the southern government of Somalia that will be held this week.

#2 Oh absolutely. Those two semi-states have been managing much better, especially Somaliland. The lack of diplomatic recognition has kept it from tapping into international financies, aid, etc, but in response they've become pretty self-reliant.
