For the sake of both Somaliland and U.S. interests, it is time to give up the pretense of Somalia’s territorial integrity, argues columnist @stevenacook. https://t.co/g77LuCcFnI

U.S. recognition of Somaliland would risk the ire of Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. But it may be worth the anger, writes columnist @stevenacook. https://t.co/g77LuCcFnI

Somaliland’s ambitious president says his country can secure the strategic waterway by offering military bases to global powers. Tired of being ignored, Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi wants outsiders to take notice https://t.co/EW3XAIAdC1

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi, Somaliland’s president, seems willing to pay a price to put his country on the map. The question is, how high? https://t.co/XiCo29IM5B

#BREAKING

Somaliland media reporting President Abdirahman Irro will lead a large delegation to the United States in September for crucial meetings with American officials, world leaders, business elite, and policy think-tanks aimed at showcasing Somaliland as a stable strategic state with vast untapped economic potential.

The full itinerary of the president has not been disclosed but the trip is likely to coincide with the annual UNGA in New York.

BREAKING: A video circulating online appears to show members of Somalia’s military standing on the U.S. flag. the footage could raise serious diplomatic concerns, especially given the billions of dollars the United States has provided over the years to support #Somalia’s security sector.

[REPUBLIC OF SOMALILAND @RepOfSomaliland]

Despite billions of dollars in training from US taxpayers, Somalia’s army disrespects the American flag.

Conversely, Republic of Somaliland demonstrates genuine respect and partnership.

Recognize success, not failure.
Recognize the partner, not the parasite

[Sara Al-saeed @saraalsaeed91]

Can a political entity govern itself effectively for more than three decades and still remain outside the community of recognised states? In my latest article, The #Somaliland Test: Recognition, Political Reality, and International Order, I argue that the central question is no longer simply whether #Somaliland should be recognised. It is whether the international system still possesses a coherent standard for recognising enduring political realities. The article examines the intersection of international law, geopolitics, and state recognition, and asks what prolonged non-recognition means for the credibility of the international order itself.

Most Americans have never heard of Somaliland. China just offered them $100 million and they said no. Here's why it matters 👇| @ShabbosK

When Hassan Sheikh Mohamud took office he promised to unite and calm Somalia. By refusing to step down, he may instead be hastening its fragmentation https://t.co/kGivXgxmIu

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

Congratulations to Michael Lotem on his appointment as Israel’s first Ambassador to Somaliland.

A meaningful step in strengthening the friendship and cooperation between Israel and Somaliland. Wishing him great success in his new role.

[Select Committee on China @ChinaSelect]

Somaliland has resisted Chinese influence that has penetrated the Horn of Africa, and is one of only two governments in Africa that recognizes Taiwan. Strengthening cooperation with Somaliland is a productive step in advancing America's security and diplomatic objectives in the Horn of Africa and countering Beijing's ever-growing presence in the region.

Somaliland roundtable saw 25 experts and policy makers in attendance. Hosted by the Hudson Institute, Sir Gavin Williamson MP from UK was key note speaker.

Robust discussions.

Broad consensus Somaliland recognition momentum unstoppable.

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

Following the establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and Somaliland on December 26, 2025, and in line with the understandings reached during the visit of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa’ar to Somaliland last month, the government of the State of Israel has granted an agrément to Somaliland’s first Ambassador to Israel, Dr. Mohamed Hagi.

Ambassador Dr. Mohamed Hagi currently serves as an advisor to the President of Somaliland and was a member of the inner circle of officials who promoted the establishment of relations between Israel and Somaliland throughout 2025.

An Israeli Ambassador to Somaliland will soon be appointed - an additional step in strengthening relations between the two countries.

In addition, this week, a designated course is being held in Israel by MASHAV, the International Cooperation Center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for the Somaliland Water Authority and the Director General of the Ministry of Water of Somaliland. The course is intended to assist in the construction, development, and planning of the water sector in Somaliland, and to strengthen professional cooperation between the sides.

Just in case you missed it:

Somalia ranked world's most corrupt country by Transparency International - again.

Followed by South Sudan.

Denmark ranked least corrupt state in the world.

Overall, corruption resurgent in many countries around the world, study finds.

[Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman @SenateForeign]

The U.S. faces real security threats from the chaos in Somalia, and it is critical that any efforts in the counter-terror and humanitarian space serve our interests, first among them the prevention of waste, fraud, and abuse by corrupt individuals.
