Somaliland Cracked: Sharmuuto

Sharmuuto (also spelled Sharmuuto) is a coastal locality in the self-declared Republic of Somaliland, situated on the Gulf of Aden along Somaliland’s northern shore. Historically a small fishing and trading settlement, Sharmuuto’s strategic position on the coastline has made it a local hub for artisanal fisheries, small-scale commerce, and occasional maritime traffic.
