NO INTRO TEXT GNRC Africa in partnership with SOCDA conducts peace building workshop in Bosasso, Somalia
BOSASSO, the commercial capital of the self-declared autonomous region of Puntland Somalia, is 1,500km northeast of Mogadishu and has become the port of call for thousands of the displaced people from southern Somalia. Puntland, which declared its semi-autonomous status in 1998, is relatively peaceful compared to Somalia proper, which has been wracked by violence since former dictator Mohamed Siad Barre was ousted in 1991.
