Toured the Dangote Refinery in Lekki, Lagos State, Nigeria, at the invitation of Dangote Group President and CEO @AlikoDangote ahead of our groundbreaking ceremony for the Dangote East African Refinery in Lamu, Kenya, next week.
The refinery in Nigeria is a massive investment with a crude oil refining capacity of 700,000 barrels a day and produces more than 100 million litres of petrol, diesel and aviation fuel every day. The company has built 120km of sea cables to move crude from ships to the refinery.
This huge achievement is a testament of what African governments, investors and financial institutions can do together.
The refinery whose construction we launch in Kenya next week will be bigger. It will transform the petroleum sector in our country and region, providing fuel reliability and security, scaling up industrialisation and creating 60,000 jobs.
When the refinery is completed, spin off industries will emerge, including the production of fertilisers, chemicals, and packaging.

Madaxweynaha Jamhuuriyadda Somaliland, Mudane Cabdiraxmaan Maxamed Cabdillaahi (Cirro), ayaa magaalada New York khudbad taariikhi ah ka jeediyey Golaha Xidhiidhka Dibedda (Council on Foreign Relations – CFR), oo ka mid ah xarumaha ugu saamaynta badan Maraykanka ee daraasaadka iyo falanqaynta siyaasadda arrimaha dibadda.
Madaxweynuhu waxa uu madasha CFR si toos ah ugu bandhigay aragtida Somaliland, isaga oo xusay in Somaliland muddo 35 sano ah ay ahayd Qaran nabad ah, dimuqraadi ah, iskii isu maamula, isla markaana si masuuliyad leh uga qayb qaata xasilloonida gobolka.
Madaxweynuhu waxa uu caddeeyey in Somaliland buuxisay dhammaan shuruudaha aasaasiga ah ee dawladnimada, isla markaana aanay aqoonsi u doonayn samafal ama deeq, balse ay doonayso in la aqoonsado xaqiiqada dawladnimo ee ay dhistay iyo madaxbannaanidii ay heshay sannadkii 1960-kii.
Waxa uu sidoo kale iftiimiyey in aqoonsiga Somaliland aanu ahayn oo keliya arrin taariikhi ah, balse uu yahay fursad istiraatiiji ah oo xoojin karta ganacsiga, maalgashiga, shaqo-abuurka, iyo amniga Geeska Afrika, gaar ahaan ilaalinta mid ka mid ah marinnada badeed ee ugu muhiimsan dunida.
Madaxweynuhu waxa uu si cad u qeexay in Somaliland ay tahay dal dimuqraadi ah oo nabad iyo xasillooni waarta ka hirgeliyey gobol ay qalalaasuhu ku badan yihiin, balse weli laga hor taagan yahay in ay cod yeelato. Halka Soomaaliya oo aan iskeed isku maamulin karin in ka badan 30 sano ay xubinnimadeeda Qaramada Midoobay u adeegsanayso cabbudhinta iyo cadaadiska Shacabka Somaliland.
Ugu dambayn, Madaxweynaha Jamhuuriyadda Somaliland ayaa Bulshada Caalamka hor dhigay arrin xujo iyo garnaqsiba ku ah Beesha Caalamka, taas oo ah: In ay weli Beesha Caalamku sii wadaan taageerada diblomaasiyad dhalanteed ah oo aan nabad iyo xasillooni waarta midkoodna keeni karin, ama in ay aqoonsato xaqiiqada dhabta ah ee Somaliland oo ah Dawlad nabad ah, dimuqraadi ah oo diyaar u ah in ay horumariso danaha dhaqaale iyo kuwa amni ee caalamku wadaago.

After a week filled with lies and relentless incitement against the State of Israel, Prime Minister @netanyahu presented Israel’s position to the world with clarity and conviction.
We will continue to stand firm in defense of Israel and its just cause.
Glad to welcome Minister Abdalle Mohamed Arab to Taiwan. Taiwan and Somaliland are deepening practical cooperation—from ICT talent development and maritime security to disaster resilience—turning friendship into shared resilience and mutual benefit.
It was a pleasure to meet with the President of Somaliland, Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi @AbdirahmanIrro during High-Level Week at the UN General Assembly.

In Washington, D.C., President @AbdirahmanIrro met with the Somaliland diaspora, thanking them for their contributions to nation-building, investment, and advancing Somaliland’s international recognition.
“We are not giving anything for free,” Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi “Irro” said in an interview with Semafor in Washington. “We have to offer something. And we expect the other partner [to have] the same or equal opportunities.”
Recognition is the prize, but economic cooperation, trade and investment can proceed in parallel.

AJC’s Center for a New Middle East is committed to building trusted partnerships with leaders around the world and fostering dialogue on the issues shaping Israel, the Middle East, and beyond.
It was an honor to welcome Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi to my office in Washington today.
The people of Somaliland have worked hard to strengthen their relationship with the U.S. and our allies. It's why I'm proud to lead legislation that supports removing barriers to U.S. financial markets, which is great for both of our nations.
