For anyone who forgot, this is what the African Union itself determined regarding Somaliland:
“The fact that the union between Somaliland and Somalia was never ratified and also malfunctioned when it went into action from 1960 to 1990, makes Somaliland's search for recognition historically unique and self-justified in African political history.”
📢 BREAKING NEWS:
Today, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations addressed the UN Security Council during an emergency meeting convened in response to reports concerning Somaliland–Israel mutual recognition.
The United States made the following points clear:
1-Israel, as a sovereign nation, retains the right to conduct its diplomatic relations independently.
2-The convening of today’s meeting highlights a double standard when compared to ongoing international efforts related to the recognition of Palestine.
3-With respect to Somaliland recognition, the United States has no announcements to make, and there is no change in current U.S. policy.
Key clarifications:
-The United States did not object to Israel’s decision to engage diplomatically and to the recognition of Somaliland.
-The statement “no change in U.S. policy” was made without elaboration and without explicit reference to Somalia’s sovereignty claims.
As the president-elect of Republic of Somaliland, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the leadership and people of the UAE on their 53rd National Day. Your remarkable achievements in unity, progress, and innovation to inspire nations worldwide.
Somaliland cherishes its historical and close bonds with your great nation and looks forward to further strengthening our partnership in the years ahead. We wish your nation's continued progress, peace, and prosperity. #UAE53 #SpiritOfTheUnion
A word of advice: Do not underestimate the great nation of Somaliland, or you will regret it. Ask the Somalis, the Italians, the Portuguese—everyone who tried has failed. You will undoubtedly regret it and fail just as greatly.
#Ethiopia- #Somaliland - President Muse Bihi Abdi in Addis Abeba for state visit
Somaliland President Muse Bihi Abdi arrived in #Addis_Abeba, Ethiopia for state visit. He is expected to meet and discuss with senior government officials.
President Bihi’s visit came two days after a landmark agreement reached between the leaders of #Somalia and Somaliland to resume dialogue aimed at resolving long-standing issues between the two sides.
Under the mediation of Djibouti’s President, Ismaïl Omar Guelleh, the leaders of Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, and President Muse Bihi Abdi, convened in Djibouti and agreed to lay the groundwork for resumption of talks, which were last held in June 2020 attended by the leaders from both sides and high level representatives including from Ethiopia.
Up on arrival at Bole International Airport earlier today, President Bihi was received by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Demeke Mekonnen and other high-ranking government officials. AS
@TiborPNagyJr What you said before is happening, the farmer who is praying for his neighbor's cow to be killed because he doesn't have one. But this time, he's gone a step further, not just praying, but also attempting to kill it with his own hands.
@SenateForeign@SomalilandChro1@musebiihi Agree,but the State Department only implement what ever policies are there ! maybe legislative bodies should adopt a new policy !
In addition to all of that, #Somaliland was able to protect itself from the epidemic of ISIS and Al-Qaeda. Perhaps all of this requires a better and more realistic American policy in the region in order to win the grand prize, the recognition of Republic of #Somaliland
As for,#Eritrea represents a rebellious country in the Western sense,#Sudan has been witnessing a faltering political transition since the October coup.
