Bismillahi Rahmani Rahiim;

I have arrived in Israel as the first President of the Republic of Somaliland to undertake a State Visit, and I am honoured by the warm welcome extended by my friend, President @Isaac_Herzog

For thirty-five years, the people of Somaliland have built a peaceful, democratic, and resilient nation. We asked the world: Do you see us? Israel answered first. Today marks a historic milestone in our journey and the beginning of a new chapter in the relationship between Somaliland and Israel.

To the people of Somaliland: I carry your hopes and aspirations with me. Generations have struggled, sacrificed, and persevered to bring our nation to this moment. We will seize this opportunity with confidence, wisdom, and determination, always guided by the interests of our people and our Republic.

Today, history is being written, and Somaliland stands ready to forge a shared future founded on friendship, cooperation, and mutual respect.

[Cabdiraxmaan Cirro @Abdirahmanirro]

Today, a new chapter in history has been written. I extend my deepest gratitude and sincere appreciation to the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu @netanyahu the Government of Israel, and the people of Israel for becoming the first nation in thirty-five years to formally recognize the Republic of Somaliland as a sovereign and independent state, affirming its nationhood, independence, and inherent right to self-determination.

This courageous and historic decision stands as a testament to the resilience, political maturity, and unwavering aspirations of the people of Somaliland. For more than three decades, our nation has remained steadfast in its commitment to peace, democracy, stability, and the democratic expression of the will of its people. Somaliland will never forget this historic gesture of friendship, mutual respect, and principled recognition.

We firmly believe that Somaliland and Israel will build a deep and enduring partnership founded on mutual respect, security, innovation, development, and a shared commitment to advancing the prosperity and well-being of our peoples.

I am also pleased to announce that the Republic of Somaliland and the State of Israel have formally signed a Strategic Joint Declaration of Cooperation, marking a historic milestone in relations between our two nations. This landmark agreement establishes the foundation for a lasting strategic partnership and deepens cooperation in the fields of agriculture, water management, security, technology, investment, economic development, and infrastructure.

This achievement represents a defining moment in Somaliland’s national journey and a significant milestone for its people. It will leave an enduring mark on our history and usher in a new era of partnership, opportunity, and international engagement.

Somaliland has prevailed.

[Cabdiraxmaan Cirro @Abdirahmanirro]

Today, we officially opened the first Embassy of the Republic of Somaliland in Jerusalem.

This historic milestone reflects Somaliland’s growing international presence and the strengthening partnership between Somaliland and Israel, founded on mutual respect, cooperation, and shared interests.

A proud day for Somaliland and Somalilanders everywhere.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ...

[Cabdiraxmaan Cirro @Abdirahmanirro]

Today, 16 June 2026, it was a great honour for me, together with the First Lady and my delegation, to visit the Knesset, @KnessetENG the Parliament of the State of Israel.

I extend my sincere appreciation to Speaker @AmirOhana and all Members of the Knesset for the warm welcome and distinguished hospitality extended to us.

Signing the Knesset’s Book of Distinguished Visitors was a historic moment that reflects Somaliland’s enduring journey toward securing its rightful place in the international community.

Drawing upon my experience as Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Somaliland, I believe that closer cooperation between our legislative institutions will further strengthen democracy, good governance, and parliamentary exchange.

I am confident that the partnership between the Republic of Somaliland and the State of Israel will continue to grow on the foundations of mutual respect, strategic cooperation, and a shared commitment to peace, security, and prosperity.

Today marks another proud milestone in the history of the Republic of Somaliland.

[Somaliland Government @Moking1990]

@aiabdimusa @grok is it true that president cirro travelled to tel aviv

[MFA Somaliland @somalilandmfa]

The Government of the Republic of Somaliland categorically rejects Somalia’s false claims over Berbera.

Somalia has no jurisdiction, authority, or standing over Somaliland territory or agreements. All Somaliland–UAE agreements remain lawful and binding.

[Alex Gandler @AlexGandler]

An important visit that formally acknowledged the sovereignty of Somaliland.
For the people of Somaliland, this is a long-overdue moment, a recognition of decades of stability, democratic governance and responsible statehood. It is difficult to overstate how meaningful this is for a society that has built peace and institutions in one of the world’s toughest neighbourhoods

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

BREAKING: Israel becomes the first country to recognize Somaliland and sends an official state delegation.

The same media insisting Israel wants to “genocide Muslims” now has to explain why Israel just recognized a country that’s 99% Muslim.

זכות גדולה לקיים את הביקור המדיני הרשמי הראשון בסומלילנד בהזמנת הנשיא אבדירחמן מוחמד עבדילאהי.
הביקור הוא גם מסר - אנו נחושים לקדם בתנופה את היחסים בין ישראל לסומלילנד. קיימנו היום דיונים משמעותיים עם הנשיא ובכירי ממשלו הנוגעים למכלול היחסים בינינו.
ההכרה ההדדית וכינון היחסים הדיפלומטיים בין שתי המדינות אינם נגד אף אחד. מטרתנו המשותפת היא לקדם את טובת 2 העמים והמדינות.
בהרגייסה הבהרתי: רק ישראל תקבע לעצמה במי היא מכירה ועם מי לקיים קשרים מדיניים.
נשיא סומלילנד מסר לי, כי הוא מקבל את הזמנת ראש הממשלה נתניהו ויגיע לביקור רשמי בישראל.
