On Saturday, celebrations are underway in all major towns in the autonomous region of Puntland State of Somalia, marking the 11th anniversary of the creation of the State.
Puntland was formed, after leaders in Northeaster regions of Somalia declared it an autonomous state in 1998.
Thousands of people surrounded the town square in Garowe, the capital city of Puntland, to watch the military parade, while more festivals were held in other major towns across Puntland.
