The “Single Somalia” policy has been a failure. Continuing it only protects a political fiction while ignoring what actually works on the ground.

This is a must read.

For more than three decades, Somaliland has maintained relative stability, held competitive elections, and governed its territory independently of Mogadishu.

The insistence on treating it as subordinate to a state that cannot control its own capital has produced neither unity nor security. It has simply prolonged a dysfunctional arrangement. Sudan offers a clear warning of where this logic leads.

The international system spent years prioritizing the formal integrity of the Sudanese state even as institutions hollowed out and power fractured. The result has been a devastating civil war, mass displacement, and a country effectively partitioned by force. Preserving the appearance of unity did not prevent collapse it delayed recognition of political realities until the cost became catastrophic.

Somaliland is the opposite case. It has already built functioning institutions without waiting for external permission. Treating it as a temporary exception rather than a political fact continues the same pattern of elevating legal fiction over lived governance.

Recognition would not create a new state. It would acknowledge one that has already proven it can govern itself.

The longer that gap remains, the more the current approach looks less like principle and more like an attachment to failed maps.

“In 1960, all five members of the UN Security Council plus 25 other states recognized Somaliland’s independence. Recognition of its reassertion is inevitable as Somaliland thrives while Somalia flirts with terrorism, Turkish exploitation, and state failure.
The question now is whether Armenia gains the moral, strategic, and commercial benefits of being among the first or whether caution once again undermines Armenia’s influence.” — @mrubin1971

Egypt couldn't intercept one drone strike. Compare this to thousands of Iranian drones and missiles intercepted by Gulf states since earlier this year.I told you that Gulf countries, including the Saudis despite their well known military shortcomings,and especially the highly disciplined and effective Emiratis, are militarily more capable and advanced than talkative Egypt.

Though my former Senator and I don’t agree on many things, working on strengthening the US-Somaliland partnership is something we are totally aligned on. Somaliland can, and must, be a bipartisan priority for the US government, and I look forward to supporting this endeavor!

We thank @SenTedCruz, Chairman of the @SenateForeign Africa Subcommittee, for his letter to @SecRubio urging a separate U.S. Travel Advisory and Diplomatic Security assessment for Somaliland. For nearly three decades, Somaliland has been a beacon of stability and democracy in the Horn of Africa. It is time U.S. policy reflects that reality.

Good news..

Failed Somalia is heading back to where it was in 1991.

[SAAB TV @tvsaab]

The World Bank has officially inked agreements for key development initiatives aimed at boosting #Somaliland’s economic and transport networks.

Key among these initiatives is a major road construction project that will connect Hargeisa through local trade hubs like Sallaxley to the town of Ina-Guuxa (Ina Guha) at the Ethiopian border, boosting cross-border trade and regional transit.

In addition, there are reports that the @WorldBankGroup has approved a comprehensive upgrade and expansion project for Hargeisa’s Egal International Airport, marking a substantial investment in the nation’s aviation and transport infrastructure.

These things that might seem trivial for any other country make life easier and better for people to Somaliland and are steps toward their recongition as the normal, functional country they are.

Somalilanders not asking for charity or help. They simply want to be acknowledge as a partner and full-fledged actor in the international scene so they can offer the world what they have to offer.

Unlike in most countries around the world, where NGOs have aquired a quasi sacred status until recently unquestioned across the political soectrum, civil society in Somaliland has voices who understand the dangers of supposedly altruistic non governmental actors. "NGO mindset is a disease". Where this miraculous country emerged from? What's the explanation for this many exceptional traits? @cultfree54 @hermanntertsch @simonmontefiore @jm_frias

The contrast with the rest of the Horn is stark.
Somalia remains fragmented, with a weak federal government and persistent insecurity.
Ethiopia, the region’s most powerful state, continues to face recurring internal conflicts and contested political settlements.
Sudan is in the midst of a devastating civil war, with external powers backing rival factions and the country effectively partitioned.
