You are wrong. There is some donations but absolutely the Somaliland exists on its own. Yes, recently there has been some donors who fund projects but they do not fund anything to do with the Somaliland system. They fund specific projects which have start and end, for example water projects, road project, even education project.
Since its inception, Somaliland national army was 100% financed, funded by Somaliland Gov't. Ethiopia and UK have scholarship for Army Staff and Officers - those who are in the office doing the nitty-gritty stuff of planning, budgeting and training.
