Abiy’s visit to Mogadishu does NOT mean Ethiopia is abandoning its MoU with Somaliland. Ethiopia remains engaged with both Mogadishu & Hargeisa, keeping its options open. Meanwhile, Hassan Sheikh—facing elections in 2026—seeks Ethiopian backing to counter Somaliland’s growing

Despite all the political maneuvering, one thing remains clear—Somaliland is still Ethiopia’s most stable and reliable regional partner. #Somaliland #Ethiopia #HornOfAfrica #RecognitionNow

#Somaliland’s Minerals: A Key Alternative for US Supply Chains By Amb Bashe Omar horndiplomat.com/2025/03/somali… As the conflict in Ukraine continues and relations between Washington and Beijing grow more complicated, American policy-makers are looking for reliable partners in the

Somalia condemned the UAE in January for hosting Somaliland’s President Irro, yet now they're talking warmly about their "longstanding friendship"—looks like consistency isn't Mogadishu’s strong suit!

As Somaliland strengthens its global ties, the UAE and US remain key allies in its economic and security progress. #GlobalPartnership #Somaliland #US #UAE #EconomicGrowth

Somaliland’s ongoing commitment to democratic values and its readiness to resist pressure from major players like China set it apart in a region often marked by political turmoil.

#Somalia’s fight against #AlShabaab comes at a time when Mogadishu controls less of its own territory than those areas currently contested. If #Mogadishu wants to solve the stalemate, it ought to change its approach:

Kenya’s recognition of Kosovo is a big move — done in the name of peace, territorial integrity, and stronger global ties. With the ICJ already backing Kosovo, it raises the question: if Kosovo deserves recognition, why not Somaliland? William Samoei Ruto, PhD Vjosa Osmani

semafor.com/article/03/28/… Somalia offering the U.S. access to Berbera — a port they don’t even control — just to block Somaliland’s recognition?

Here’s the letter HSM sent to the U.S. — Somalia just offered “exclusive control” over Berbera, a port they don’t even control. You can’t lease out your neighbor’s house and call it foreign policy. #Somaliland #Berbera #HornOfAfrica #Diplomacy

Somalia tried to block the 2017 UAE-Somaliland deal over Berbera Port and Airbase — even took it to the UN Security Council. It didn’t work then, and it won’t work now. #Somaliland #RecognitionNow #HornOfAfrica Donald J. Trump Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jim Risch Tibor Nagy Dr. J. Peter Pham 🇺🇲

Somaliland’s window to capitalise on Ethiopia’s urgent need for alternative sea access has never been wider — if managed wisely. borkena.com/2025/04/24/eth…

Recognition isn’t something that can be stopped with political manoeuvring or whispered promises behind closed doors. The world is shifting. People are watching. Somaliland’s record — peace, democracy, and resilience — speaks louder than any campaign of disruption around us.

If Eritrea wants to talk recognition, it might start by recognising its own people’s right to free speech, fair elections, and basic dignity. Somaliland’s case isn’t about secession — it’s about reclaiming a sovereignty that was already recognised, lawful, and rightfully ours.

The UAE–Somaliland’s partnership is delivering real progress — Berbera Port, the Corridor, and the Airport are just the beginning. As UK MP Gavin Williamson put it: “We see the future, we see its potential, and we recognise that it will lead the whole of East Africa.” Actions

Kenya and Somaliland share a deep history of partnership. In today’s world, relationships matter more than borders. Kudos to President William Ruto for warmly receiving the President of Somaliland — a strong gesture of respect, rooted in history, focused on the future.

warontherocks.com/2025/06/flaili… According to this analysis, Somalia is sliding deeper into instability as Al-Shabaab expands. Yet its leaders remain distracted — fixated on Somaliland instead of fixing their own house. Let’s be honest: Somaliland isn’t your problem. Al-Shabaab is.

One of the most common lines still heard in diplomatic circles is: “This is an issue for Somalia and Somaliland to resolve together.” That may have once seemed like a reasonable position. But today, it’s out of step with political reality — and increasingly serves as an excuse

perry.house.gov/news/documents… Recognition of #Somaliland isn’t just morally right — it’s strategically smart. Grateful to Rep. Scott Perry for standing with the facts. Time for Donald J. Trump, Rep. Scott Perry, and #USCongress to engage with #Somaliland on the basis of truth and shared
