Somalia is dangerously close to repeating al mahdi-Aidid conflict in the 1990s. As Hassan Mohamud and Sheikh Sharif remain locked in a political standoff, with neither side seemingly willing to budge, the country risks sliding into a deeper crisis. #Somalia#Mogadishu
It was an honor to meet His Excellency Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi Irro, President of Somaliland.
He is a leader driving a vision of development, stability, and institution building. What I witnessed on the ground reflects a leadership that believes progress is achieved through action, not slogans.
The U.S. should engage Somaliland based on reality Somalia has no authority or control over Somaliland, which has built its own peace, institutions, and governance for over 30+ years Somaliland deserves direct engagement and respect, not to be politically grouped under Mogadishu.
Somaliland meets the core requirements of statehood:
✅ Defined territory
✅ Permanent population
✅ Functioning government
✅ Capacity for international relations
For over 30 years, it has maintained peace, held elections, secured its borders, and governed itself independently.
For 35 years, the Republic of Somaliland faced political isolation, economic exclusion, and diplomatic silence from much of the international community; including those who speak in the name of Islamic and Arab countries as well as African nations.
When Somaliland’s greatest aspiration was recognition of its legitimate sovereignty and democratic existence, the State of Israel responded with daringly & decisively, with political courage and historic clarity by granting full recognition to the Republic of Somaliland on 26 December 2025.
Somaliland’s sovereignty, independence, and pursuit of international recognition are fundamental national and human rights belonging to the noble people of the Republic of Somaliland; a right that no individual, institution, internal or external forces can deny, obstruct or reverse.
Those currently opposing Somaliland’s decision to open its Embassy in Qudus are, in reality, opposing Somaliland’s existence and fundamental sovereign rights of it's people, its national interests, and future progress.
In 1988, when the people of Somaliland were subjected to massacres and mass destruction, much of the Arab and Muslim world remained silent. Israel strongly condemned it and raised the matter at the UN Security Council.
Thirty-seven years later, Israel recognised Somaliland's hard-earned reality: a peaceful, democratic, and stable nation built through sacrifice and perseverance.
While much of the Arab and Muslim world has chosen once again to criticize what is a legitimate and just decision, I would urge a more constructive and realistic approach that reflects present realities and encourages broader international engagement with Somaliland, including recognition along the lines of Israel’s precedent. Somaliland will always remember those who stood on the right side of history when it mattered most.
It was an honor to meet the Chief Operating Officer of Berbera Port, one of the most strategic logistics projects in the Horn of Africa. Today, Berbera Port is witnessing major expansion led by DP World, transforming it into a key trade gateway connecting Africa with the Gulf and global markets. The port’s development, along with the Berbera Corridor project, is strengthening regional trade, infrastructure, investment, and job creation across the region.
H.E. President @AbdirahmanIrro extends his warmest Eid al-Adha greetings to all Somalilanders at home and abroad, praying that Allah (SWT) accepts their good deeds and continues to bless Somaliland with lasting peace, stronger unity, prosperity, and continued national progress.
When the UAE joined the Abraham Accords, it did so with clarity: recognition of Israel + genuine people-to-people peace + continued support for the Palestinian people.
This is the Emirati model: realism and forward-thinking.
Many countries should learn from it.
As an Israeli woman, I am truly happy that Somaliland is opening its embassy in Jerusalem .
I can’t wait to meet you and to see the friendship between our peoples grow stronger.
Much love and respect from Jerusalem ❤️
