Yes and No.

Somaliland is a de facto independent country, but not a de jure independent country. What this means is that the government of Somaliland actually controls territory and effectively administrates it. This is called de factogovernance. (This is just like the the United States, Russia, and most other major countries.) However, in addition to effectively controlling territory, a nation needs to be accepted by other nations by way of diplomatic relations and embassies. This is called de jure governance. As no country has embassies in Somaliland or has Somalilander embassies in their country, Somaliland is not a de jure country.

What country in Africa has a confederation government?

In Africa, the only country that operates under a confederation government is the Republic of Somaliland, which declared independence from Somalia in 1991. Somaliland functions with its own government and institutions, but it is not internationally recognized as an independent state. The confederation-like structure is characterized by a degree of autonomy and self-governance while still maintaining certain ties to Somalia. However, it's important to note that the term "confederation" is not commonly used to describe Somaliland's governance, as it is more often referred to as a de facto state.
