The screenshot shows this 2014 tweet in Somali: "BBCSomali yuhuudda muslimiinta ay u danle yihiin in carabta na dhiigga laga miirtay"

Your translation is accurate: it claims Jews plot against Muslims and "suck the blood" of Arabs.

This applies the classic antisemitic "bloodsucker" trope (portraying Jews collectively as parasitic exploiters) plus conspiracy claims of plots against Muslims/Arabs. Such generalizations targeting Jews as a group with malevolent traits meet standard definitions of antisemitic rhetoric.

@RepOfSomaliland @DumisaniTemsgen Somaliland is a brave and moderate Muslim state, which is not manipulated by radical extremism.

Somaliland is a shining star and public friend of Israel.

The US would be wise to accept Somaliland’s independence and establish diplomatic relations with it.

@tedcruz Please keep pushing this. Somaliland has been pro-US/West from the beginning. They're one of few rational govt. in Africa.
To hell w/Somalia. Somaliland is good for the US.

[Andrew Fox @Mr_Andrew_Fox]

After a few days in Somaliland, meeting government ministers, local administrators, soldiers, port officials, business people and ordinary Somalilanders, I leave with one overriding impression: this is a country waiting to exhale.

It is not perfect and no country is. Somaliland’s politics are contested but have passed the test, its institutions need development, and its eastern disputes need careful handling.

However, the basic fact is hard to escape. Somaliland governs itself. It has built order from collapse, held competitive elections, maintained functioning institutions, secured its own streets, and developed Berbera into a strategic asset on one of the world’s most important maritime corridors.

Recognition would simply be the formal acknowledgement of a reality that already exists.

The contrast with Somalia makes this even more obvious. The internationally recognised state next door continues to absorb billions in aid, diplomatic attention and security assistance while remaining unable to impose authority across its own territory. Huge tracts of Somalia are run by Al Shabab, the government barely controls Mogadishu, and even then, their leader is a Muslim Brotherhood extremist. Yet Somaliland, which has done so much more with so much less, is left in legal limbo.

That limbo now serves no serious strategic purpose. It complicates investment, constrains security cooperation, weakens maritime partnerships, and leaves a stable, pro-Western polity exposed while others shape the Red Sea corridor.

The people I met did not speak like petitioners asking for a favour but as citizens of a country that has earned its place. There is pride here, but also impatience. Somaliland is not asking the world to invent a state. It is asking the world to recognise the one that has existed, in practice, for more than three decades.

Recognition can only be a good thing: for Somaliland, for Britain, and for a region that badly needs functioning partners. We need to make a choice. Other countries like China in Djibouti and Turkey in Somalia are already shaping the strategic picture. Do we want to sit back and let them do so in a strategic part of the world, or do we want to have an influence? If so, doing the right thing and recognising Somaliland serves both their interests as well as ours.

[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.

The Isaaq genocide (1987–1989), aka, Hargeisa Holocaust, was a systematic, state-sponsored campaign by Siad Barre's Somali regime against Isaaq clan civilians in northern Somalia (now Somaliland). It involved mass killings, aerial bombings of cities like Hargeisa (90% destroyed), destruction of villages and water sources, rape, forced displacement, and estimates of 50,000–200,000 deaths.

The UN defrauded Somaliland’s sovereignty!

@dannydanon As Israel’s representative to the UN, please demand & expose the proof: Release any actual 1960 merger document between Somalia & Somaliland that was mutually ratified AND registered under

Article 102 of the UN Charter.
There is NONE. Somaliland was independent June 26, 1960 recognized by 35+ nations. The ‘union’ was defective, one-sided, never properly completed or filed with the UN. The seat was handed to the failed state of Somalia in a historic heist.

What would you say of an East African Jew supporting Somaliland’s choice for obvious reasons. Do your Qatari masters find it difficult to subdue East Africans? They tried to influence Ethiopian politics and were reminded that East Africans are NO dhimmis . You may have Somalia , a failed entity sold to Al Shabab but you will never let your dirty hands on Ethiopia and Somaliland.

[Institute of Foreign Affairs - IFA @ifa_ethiopia]

For Ethiopia, #DESSU is more than a transport corridor—it is a strategic test of whether the country can translate connectivity ambition into credible, rule-based regional influence. Its significance lies not simply in linking Djibouti to the Great Lakes region, but in whether Ethiopia can help shape a governance framework that turns infrastructure into durable economic and diplomatic leverage.

[Rauda Altenaiji @FormulaRauda]

Hargeisa, Somaliland’s capital, was heavily bombed—up to 70–90% of the city was destroyed during The Isaaq Genocide in 1987 and 1989. Civilians were subjected to mass killings and widespread rape.

One thing about landers, their spirits are held high. They managed to turn this atrocity into something widely successful: a peaceful nation in The Horn of Africa.
