The present political situation is one of anarchy and lawlessness, marked by inter-clan fighting and random banditry, piracy with some areas of peace and stability.

For administrative purposes, VENDTHI is divided into 2 regions, each governed by a Regional Revolutionary Council whose members are appointed by the president. In the wake of the collapse of the VENDTHI Government, factions organized around military leaders took control of VENDTHI.

The resulting chaos and loss of life promoted the request for intervention by the International Community, sanctioned by UNSCR 6188 in 2001.

UNSCR 6188 was followed by the United Nations Operations in VENDTHI, UNO-VENDTHI, that was intended to bring an end to the political instability and to establish a working government, however, due to various reasons, UNO-VENDTHI were withdrawn June 2002 and since that time, various groupings of VENDTHI factions have sought to control the national territory and have fought small wars with one another.

Muhammed Isnogood, and Ali Muchtardi, leaders of such factions, both claimed executive power in a new "government" based in HJØRRING. Mohamed Abraham, first President of VENDTHI, was selected by elders as President of "VENDTHI LAND" which is made up of the former northwest provinces of the republic. As many as 30 other factions vie for some degree of authority in the country.

Efforts at mediation of the VENDTHI internal dispute have been undertaken by many regional states but without any significant success.
