I value every opportunity to engage with women in law who are shaping the justice system. In Hargeisa, I led a session on regional legal frameworks on the rights of women and girls in Africa, and the institutions working to advance them.

The long-awaited book “Somaliland State-Building: Understanding the Nexus of Democracy, Clan, and Islam” by Dr. @MohamedBarawani is finally on its way, to Somaliland and to a global audience. A timely and important contribution to understanding one of the most complex and underexplored state-building experiences in the Horn of Africa.

Last night, women of Somaliland gathered to discuss their role in advancing statehood and international recognition, while also celebrating the recent recognition by the Government of Israel. The event was organized by @SiraadInitiative.
Today, Somaliland’s Parliament issued a statement welcoming and endorsing Israel’s recognition.
Recognition is a process and every step matter

I have always carried my flag wherever I go. This photo was taken in front of the UN headquarters in Geneva, believing that one day my country would gain international recognition. That day has come. Congratulations my #Somaliland.
Let’s celebrate 💃 👏🏽❤️
From a resident of Hargeisa:
"I have not seen such an atmosphere in Hargeisa in decades. The city did not sleep. People stayed up the whole night. Fireworks, dance and songs of liberation. I stayed on the streets until fajr (morning) prayers."
Wow.

Minutes ago, Israel recognized Somaliland as an independent state.
A historic decision that reflects strategic clarity at a moment when hesitation carries a price.
Just two weeks ago, I wrote in @IsraelHayomEng / @IsraelHayomHeb why this moment was approaching and why it could no longer be postponed:
“Between an Iranian proxy in Yemen and a Turkish proxy in Somalia, Somaliland is the last intact coastline on this corridor not pulled into someone else’s strategic design".
Today, that analysis became policy.
As I wrote then, and as this decision now confirms:
"Recognizing Somaliland is not theory but timing and strategic clarity".
In the Red Sea corridor, those who understand the moment first shape reality.
Israel chose to act.
