Multiple sources allege #Somalia’s UN Permanent Representative, Abukar Osman “Baale” a naturalized U.S. citizen entered the U.S. claiming asylum as an Isaaq from #Somaliland fleeing persecution by Siad Barre.
If true Baale, a Hawiye from Mogadishu committed immigration fraud.
Im happy many old Somalian fascists (faqash) have lived long enough to see Somaliland internationally recognized.
They can now die with that anger & frustration and depression.
Thank you Israel 🇮🇱😄✌️

#Update: Djibouti has been ruled by a despotic dictator for the past 26 years, propped up by sham elections engineered by his Ministry of the Interior. By contrast, Somaliland has held free and fair elections since 2000, with six presidents peacefully transferring power.
Long fearful that his population would be inspired by Somaliland’s freedoms—freedom of speech, a free-market economy, credible elections, and respect for human and civil rights, all absent in Djibouti—he is now further alarmed by Israel’s formal recognition of Somaliland. This new reality has intensified his paranoia, prompting him to double his efforts to sabotage Somaliland by arming rebel groups and seeking to destabilise its north-western regions.
I was glad to speak just now with the President of Somaliland Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi, on this important day for both countries.
Over the past year, based on an extensive and ongoing dialogue, relations between Israel and Somaliland have taken shape. Following the decision of @IsraeliPM Benjamin Netanyahu and the President of Somaliland Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi, today we signed an agreement on mutual recognition and the establishment of full diplomatic relations, which will include the appointment of ambassadors and the opening of embassies.
We will work together to promote the relations between our countries and nations, regional stability and economic prosperity. I have instructed my ministry to act immediately to institutionalize ties between the two countries across a wide range of fields.
This is a historic moment as we warmly welcome @netanyahu the Prime Minister of the State of Israel’s recognition of the Republic of Somaliland and affirm Somaliland’s readiness to join the Abraham Accords. This step marks the beginning of a strategic partnership that advances mutual interests, strengthens regional peace and security, and delivers shared benefits to all stakeholders, without prejudice to any party.
