When does a foreigner's police escort from the elite Special Police Unit (SPU) have to escort the foreigner in Somaliland?

I traveled as a single (male) traveller to Somaliland in 2014. At that time, I also read about obligatory SPU protection. I entered via Tog Wajaale from where I traveled by car/minibus to Hargeisa and Berbera. I walked around in Hargeisa and Berbera during day and night on my own. During my entire stay in Somaliland, I was never accompanied by SPU. Besides regular police "roadblocks", I was also never asked about SPU. My answer refers to the situtation in 2014 and does not conclude on the security situation in Somaliland. Actually, I am not answering your question in a legal way but simply based on my experience.
