Today, 16 June 2026, it was a great honour for me, together with the First Lady and my delegation, to visit the Knesset, @KnessetENG the Parliament of the State of Israel.
I extend my sincere appreciation to Speaker @AmirOhana and all Members of the Knesset for the warm welcome and distinguished hospitality extended to us.
Signing the Knesset’s Book of Distinguished Visitors was a historic moment that reflects Somaliland’s enduring journey toward securing its rightful place in the international community.
Drawing upon my experience as Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Somaliland, I believe that closer cooperation between our legislative institutions will further strengthen democracy, good governance, and parliamentary exchange.
I am confident that the partnership between the Republic of Somaliland and the State of Israel will continue to grow on the foundations of mutual respect, strategic cooperation, and a shared commitment to peace, security, and prosperity.
Today marks another proud milestone in the history of the Republic of Somaliland.

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahiim;
I have arrived in Israel as the first President of the Republic of Somaliland to undertake a State Visit, and I am honoured by the warm welcome extended by my friend, President @Isaac_Herzog
For thirty-five years, the people of Somaliland have built a peaceful, democratic, and resilient nation. We asked the world: Do you see us? Israel answered first. Today marks a historic milestone in our journey and the beginning of a new chapter in the relationship between Somaliland and Israel.
To the people of Somaliland: I carry your hopes and aspirations with me. Generations have struggled, sacrificed, and persevered to bring our nation to this moment. We will seize this opportunity with confidence, wisdom, and determination, always guided by the interests of our people and our Republic.
Today, history is being written, and Somaliland stands ready to forge a shared future founded on friendship, cooperation, and mutual respect.

Honoured to attend the State Lunch hosted by my friend President @Isaac_Herzog at the Presidential Residence in Jerusalem.
From Davos to Israel, our conversations have reflected the growing ties between Somaliland and Israel. Today, those ties take another important step forward as we work together to build a future of partnership, cooperation, and shared opportunity for our peoples.
I extend my sincere appreciation to President Herzog for his warm welcome and generous hospitality.

To my fellow citizens of the Republic of Somaliland, home & abroad, I extend my sincere greetings and appreciation, and convey my best wishes for enduring peace, stability, and prosperity.
The Government of the Republic of Somaliland categorically rejects Somalia’s false claims over Berbera.
Somalia has no jurisdiction, authority, or standing over Somaliland territory or agreements. All Somaliland–UAE agreements remain lawful and binding.
Israel–Somaliland: historic partners for PEACE and African HOPE. Dozens of recognitions ahead. Somaliland will be the JAPAN of AFRICA..built by fighters and bravery. Real fighters. Real courage. Real future.
Five major countries are about to recognize the democratic Republic of Somaliland. The world should stand with this strong, brave nation that has fought Muslim Brotherhood militancy, jihadism, antisemitism, and extremism.

Thank you, Israel, for raising Somaliland’s case at the UN Security Council. Somaliland will continue its pursuit of international recognition. After 34 years of support to Mogadishu with little progress, it is time for the world to recognize Somaliland’s self-made achievements as a model worth supporting #SomalilandRecognition #Israel
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.
Somaliland just changed Africa. This is Somaliland. Such a brave, peace loving nation deserves respect and recognition by the United States, not only by Israel. This is a historic moment for Africa and the Muslim world, not just for Somaliland. It reflects the courage of a democratic, civilized nation that believes in mutual recognition between states, not in kidnapping babies like Hamas terrorists did in Gaza, and not in the mass killing of two million Christians like the Sudan Muslim Brotherhood led army did.
Make Somaliland Great Again (MSGA).
This is what real leadership looks like.
Recognition of Somaliland will strengthen regional peace, security, and stability. For over three decades, Somaliland has remained democratic, peaceful, and self-governing—unlike Somalia. It’s time for Somalia to focus on its own challenges and to be constructive. The illusion of Somali unity ended long ago.
