The Trump admin formal recognition of #Somaliland, eyeing Red Sea strategy & countering China. Talks include a potential US military base in Berbera. Ties are stronger than ever rooted in security, informal diplomacy & shared democratic values. #POTUS Secretary Marco Rubio

With Egypt and Djibouti forging a Red Sea deal, Ethiopia must stand firm with Somaliland. For a growing nation, reliable sea access is vital and Somaliland offers the best, most strategic path. Ethiopia’s future depends on smart, sovereign choices. Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 Cabdiraxmaan Cirro

The United States is unlikely to fund the African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM), citing concerns over limited progress against al-Shabaab and the effectiveness of Somalia’s government. Department of State #Muqdisho #Somali #Africa

Amid chaos in the Horn of Africa, #Somaliland quietly shines peaceful, democratic, and stable. With limited resources, it upholds elections, security & hope. A model many fear, because it proves African democracy can work. Let its success speak for itself. #Success

82% of Americans see Taiwan as an independent country because they believe in democracy. Simple as that.

Somalia’s ban on Taiwan passports likely influenced by China won’t stop ties between Taiwan and Somaliland. Instead, it strengthens their bond. With Mogadishu's limited control beyond the capital, enforcement is near impossible. Support for Taiwan in Somaliland will only grow.

Somaliland faces many enemies simply for being stable and self-governing. But what they don’t understand is this: Somaliland was a country, and it will be one again. Its people have already decided. This is an epoch-making moment for the Horn of Africa. #POTUS Department of State @Uae

Ethiopia should’ve honored the MOU with Somaliland a stable, secure gateway to the sea. Unlike Somalia, Somaliland offers real partnership and peace. Ethiopia turned away from a golden opportunity: recognition in exchange for reliable access to the coast.

After Somalia's ban on Taiwanese passport holders, Somaliland is taking a different path. Taiwanese citizens will receive visas on arrival no restrictions. Somaliland controls its airports and seaports and decides who enters. #Somaliland #Taiwan #VisaPolicy #Africa #Asia #travel

Ahmed Fiqi's call to arms in Awdal is not just irresponsible it’s a direct threat to peace in the Horn of Africa. Somaliland has upheld stability where others have faltered. Instead of fueling conflict, Somalia’s new Defence Minister should focus on fixing what’s broken at home.

Soon, the Somaliland Development Fund (SDF) which funded the Maydh Port jetty will launch its next phase. It's time to complete the Tabca-Maydh road and unleash the full economic and strategic power of the port. Connectivity is key. Securing east Somaliland #SDF3 UK in Somalia🇬🇧🇸🇴

President Irro's meeting with Ethiopia's ambassador marks a pivotal moment for regional diplomacy. Somaliland and Ethiopia can lead the way in trade, infrastructure, and security cooperation. Stronger ties mean a stronger Horn of Africa. #Somaliland #Ethiopia #RegionalStability

The UAE and Somaliland are set to strengthen military cooperation, forging a long-term strategic alliance. Positioned at the gateway to the Gulf of Aden and Red Sea, Somaliland is one of UAE’s closest African partners an emerging pillar of regional security. #Somaliland #UAE

Djibouti’s Sovereign Wealth Fund is making strategic moves aiming to double its assets within a decade. Powered by foreign military base revenues & infrastructure investment, it's focused on sustainable growth, logistics, and energy. A small nation thinking big. #Djibouti #Africa

If Somalia’s government weakens further, international patience with its claims over Somaliland could fade. As Mogadishu struggles with instability, Somaliland’s stability and democratic track record may finally push the world to reconsider recognition. #Trump Secretary Marco Rubio President Donald J. Trump

Today I am heading to #Lithuania & #Denmark to meet with friends of #Taiwan & reaffirm our shared commitment to democratic values. During this trip, I hope to strengthen Taiwan’s relationships in Europe & encourage a deeper understanding of Taiwan globally.

Berbera sits at the chokepoint of global trade overlooking the Red Sea and Suez Canal. China and Russia want it. But only the U.S. can secure exclusive access by partnering with a stable, democratic Somaliland. Berbera isn’t just a base it’s a gateway to global influence.

BREAKING: The U.S. has halted funding for the African Union force in Somalia. After two decades with little progress, Washington sees no return on investment. In line with the “America First” policy under President Trump, priorities are shifting. #Somalia #AU #AmericaFirst

Somaliland stood by the UK when it mattered. Now the UK must support Somaliland through security and economic cooperation to protect democracy. Queen Elizabeth II recognized this enduring bond in 1960. It’s time to act. #Democracy #Partnership UK in Somalia🇬🇧🇸🇴 Keir Starmer

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee (SFRC) will meet to examine East Africa, with Joshua Meservey, a strong advocate for #Somaliland recognition, testifying. Chaired by Senator Jim Risch, a strong supporter of Somaliland, as U.S. policy shifts away from the One Somalia stance.
