Waad iska hadashay. Ilaa laba su'aalood laga jawaabo oo ah:

1. Wixii dhacay maxay u dhaceen?
2. Ma Somaliland ayaa Isaaq ah mise Isaaq ayaa Somaliland ah?

Wado iyo jid la furayaa ma jirto, Laascaanood halkeeda ha joogto waliba waxa la adkayn doonaa isku socodka qarsoodiga ah

[Ridwan Gulled @ridgulle]

[ My take on the recent developments in Laascanood and my honest suggestions to both the Somaliland government and it's people. ]

The youth of Laascanood are increasingly asking why Firdhiye continues to reject the peace deal and the reopening of roads that would allow families to reunite and visit one another.

Listening to their voices in this clip, two clear messages stand out:

1- “Heshiiska anagu waanu. taagersanahay” — [ We fully support the peace agreement.]

1- “Dadka iyo nafta ayaa isu baahan” — [ The people and their souls need each other. ]

They also point out that lives have already been lost on both sides and argue that it is now time to prioritise the living and move forward.

Since Somaliland’s new government ceased hostilities and shifted to a soft-power approach by extending an unconditional peace offer, it has begun winning the hearts and minds of many young people in Laascanood.

At the same time, ordinary citizens are growing frustrated with their local leadership in Laascanood for blocking the reopening of trade routes.

This decision continues to impose a heavy and unnecessary economic burden on communities already struggling with drought and widespread unemployment.

I believe this moment marks the beginning of the end of the current impasse. Mounting public discontent with policies that damage daily life and restrict movement will inevitably increase pressure on the leadership in Laascanood to come to the negotiating table.

[ Recommendations for Somaliland ]

To build on this momentum, Somaliland should:

● Double down on its soft-power approach. The current leadership in Laascanood relies heavily on fear-mongering to convince people that harsh restrictions are necessary for their “safety.”

Somaliland must counter this narrative by consistently demonstrating that it genuinely seeks peace and improved living conditions for all its people.

● Put heavy emphasis on immediately restarting people-to-people movement and trade. Because reopening roads and resuming the flow of goods would directly relieve the economic hardship caused by the suspension of trade and serve as the strongest proof of good intentions.

● Engage influential youth from Laascanood as peace ambassadors. These young leaders can speak to their communities with greater credibility than outsiders.

Somaliland should actively identify, support, and empower them to advocate for peace from within.

● Prepare serious and credible concessions on power-sharing and resource-sharing before formal negotiations begin. The old divide-and-rule tactics have failed, as they were always destined to.

Somaliland must come to the table with a genuine, attractive offer that gives the people of Laascanood a real sense of ownership and restores their confidence in a shared future. Anything less will lack legitimacy.

However, if Somaliland is unwilling or unable to offer meaningful political and economic concessions, it should honestly reassess its position.

In that case, it would be wiser to redraw administrative boundaries and exclude the Khatumo-administered areas rather than continue a policy that prolongs suffering and bloodshed on both sides.

The proud people of Khatumo will not accept anything less than what they consider their fair share of political power. Denying this reality will only guarantee the continuation of conflict.

Let these timeless Somali proverbs guide our decisions:

◇ “Rag cadaalad waaya, sidii cawsha kala yaac” — F. Laanjeer

◇“Nin ku yidhi sinaan mayno, adna diid sarayntiisa” — Hadraawi

◇“Rag walal wuxu ku dhaamo, la waa” — Wiil-Waal

I genuinely wish the best for our people on both sides. My hope is that reason, compassion, and a shared commitment to ending unnecessary hardship will prevail.

July 1st is not a day of celebration! it is a day of remembrance and sorrow for the people of the Republic of Somaliland.

July 1st is a day marked by injustice, oppression, and betrayal.

For the people of Somaliland, July 1st symbolizes the moment its hard-won sovereignty was sacrificed to a union that brought neither equality nor fraternity, but decides of suffering, injustice and cruelty.

For the people of the Republic of Somaliland, a reflection on July 1st strengthens our collective enduring resolve that our sovereignty, statehood, dignity, and right to determine our own destiny shall never again be compromised.

That's what you swear to as the President of the Republic of Somaliland.

You are hero and your people are with you Mr. President @Abdirahmanirro

To remember is a choice. To bear witness is a responsibility.

History in Jerusalem!

The President of Somaliland, a Muslim nation, just arrived at the Knesset to address the Israeli parliament. We love Somaliland and our friendship.

[ראש ממשלת ישראל @IsraeliPM_heb]

ראש הממשלה בנימין נתניהו נפגש היום עם נשיא סומלילנד ד"ר אבדירחמן מוחמד עבדילאהי, בלשכת רה"מ בירושלים.

תחילה, נפגשו המנהיגים בארבע עיניים, ולאחר מכן התקיימה פגישה מו��חבת. בתום הפגישה חתמו המנהיגים על הצהרה משותפת לחיזוק שיתוף הפעולה בין שתי המדינות ומסרו הצהרות.

ראש הממשלה בנימין נתניהו: "אנחנו גאים, ואני גאה שממשלתי היא הראשונה בעולם להכיר בסומלילנד. אנו מאוחדים באמונה שחופש, דמוקרטיה והזדמנויות חזקים יותר מקיצוניות, טרור וכאוס"

Israel's diplomatic horizons continue to expand.
Since 2025, Israel has opened new embassies in Moldova, Zambia, Estonia and Fiji, announced a new embassy in Slovenia, restored diplomatic relations with Bolivia, and established relations with Somaliland. These developments reflect a growing recognition that cooperation in innovation, healthcare, agriculture, water management, cybersecurity and trade benefits all nations.

[HornInformant @HornInformant]

@DanSorek @netanyahu You are welcome. We, Landers love who inspires us and we don't care others.

The video clearly shows the President of Mogadishu promoting antisemitic rhetoric through inflammatory and hostile remarks directed against Jews and Israel.
