@GuleidJ I usually side with you, but I disagree on this issue. While Article 10 outlines Somaliland's foreign principles, practical policy must prioritize national interests. E.g. Israel supports our right to self-determination, whereas the wider international community rejects it.
The immediate accreditation of a Somaliland ambassador by the Israeli government would send a clear and powerful signal of commitment to formalized cooperation, mutual respect, and the advancement of long-term bilateral relations
Following the establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and Somaliland on December 26, 2025, and in line with the understandings reached during the visit of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa’ar to Somaliland last month, the government of the State of Israel has granted an agrément to Somaliland’s first Ambassador to Israel, Dr. Mohamed Hagi.
Ambassador Dr. Mohamed Hagi currently serves as an advisor to the President of Somaliland and was a member of the inner circle of officials who promoted the establishment of relations between Israel and Somaliland throughout 2025.
An Israeli Ambassador to Somaliland will soon be appointed - an additional step in strengthening relations between the two countries.
In addition, this week, a designated course is being held in Israel by MASHAV, the International Cooperation Center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for the Somaliland Water Authority and the Director General of the Ministry of Water of Somaliland. The course is intended to assist in the construction, development, and planning of the water sector in Somaliland, and to strengthen professional cooperation between the sides.

@DavidGreenhh In 1991, the Burao Conference brought reconciliation and declared Somaliland’s independence. Different names were discussed—including the Horn of Africa Republic and Puntland—but legal and historical arguments led to agreement on Somaliland.
@HoehneVirgil@RAbdiAnalyst You conducted many operations in the Sool region over the years. Did terrorizing people form part of those operations? Of course, yes. You come from a genocidal country that massacred millions of people during the Holocaust
@hanidiamond39 Any civilian action targeting a diplomatic office in Somaliland is unlawful and barbaric. While peaceful protest against foreign missions is allowed under Somaliland law, violence is strictly prohibited.
Marka ay Somaliland go'aansato, warqad ayaa ku filan. Naga baxa!
@Osint613 He can't be both a U.S. citizen and a foreign diplomat at the same time. @AbukarOsman1 should be prosecuted soon for his alleged fraud in Health care matters.
