Ku soo dhawoow Israel, Madaxweynaha Somaliland @Abdirahmanirro.
Booqashadan taariikhiga ah waxay astaan u tahay kartida weyn ee iskaashiga cusub ee u dhexeeya labadeenna dal.
Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet approved the appointment of the Israel’s first ambassador to Somaliland, a breakaway region of Somalia https://t.co/sTXVj9ViRB
Somaliland expects to reach a trade agreement soon with Israel, the first country to recognize its independence, and is willing to offer rights to valuable mineral deposits as part of a deal, President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi told Reuters https://t.co/4oxgSfjcPp
It's a great privilege to conduct the first official diplomatic visit to Somaliland, at the invitation of President @Abdirahmanirro.
The visit is also a message: We are determined to vigorously advance relations between Israel and Somaliland.
Today, we held substantive discussions with the President and senior members of his government on the full range of our relations.
The mutual recognition and establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries are not directed against anyone. Our shared objective is to promote the mutual benefit of both nations and countries.
In Hargeisa, I made it clear:
Only Israel will decide whom it recognizes and with whom it maintains diplomatic relations.
The President of Somaliland informed me that he has accepted @IsraeliPM Netanyahu’s invitation and will pay an official visit to Israel.
Haddii ay Soomaaliya ka cadhootay "soo galitaanka sharci darraada ah" ee Wasiirka Arrimaha Dibedda ee Israa'iil ku yimid Hargaysa, maxay wax uga qaban wayday? Aga, haddaan xusuustaye illayn sobobtu waa iyaga oo muddo ku dhaw 35 sano aan wax awood ah ku lahayn Somaliland, waana muddo ka badan da'da Somalida maanta jirta intooda badan.
“Nobody will determine for Israel who we recognize and who we maintain diplomatic relations with”.
Following mutual recognition and the December 26 agreement establishing full diplomatic relations, @gidonsaar met with @Abdirahmanirro in Hargeisa to advance embassy openings and a strategic partnership between two democratic states.
For anyone who forgot, this is what the African Union itself determined regarding Somaliland:
“The fact that the union between Somaliland and Somalia was never ratified and also malfunctioned when it went into action from 1960 to 1990, makes Somaliland's search for recognition historically unique and self-justified in African political history.”
BREAKING: The United States of America has strongly supported Israel's recent recognition and eatablishment of diplomatic relations with the Republic of Somaliland.
This means alot for the State of Israel and the Republic of Somaliland.
Thank you, America.
Israel became the first country to formally recognize the self-declared Republic of Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state, a decision that could reshape regional dynamics and test Somalia’s longstanding opposition to its secession https://t.co/ugKYGTCtd5
