Thank you @SenTedCruz for your simple but powerful statement: “Somaliland is not Somalia.”
✅ Self-governed since 1991
✅ Multiple democratic elections
✅ Peaceful transfer of power
✅ Close ties with Taiwan
✅ China opposes Somaliland's independence
✅ Recognizes Israel
✅ Offers the U.S. favorable diplomatic, economic & security partnerships
The President of the Republic of Somaliland, H.E. President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi (Irro), today received the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Israel, H.E. Gideon Sa’ar, accompanied by senior Israeli officials, at the Presidential Palace.
President @AbdirahmanIrro characterized Israel’s recognition as a historic and consequential act that formally acknowledges the sovereignty of the Republic of Somaliland.
His Excellency also underscored that the decision affirms Somaliland’s established democratic record and internal stability, and firmly positions the Republic as a key contributor to peace and security in the Horn of Africa and beyond.
Minister Gideon Sa’ar reaffirmed the State of Israel’s full commitment to the Republic of Somaliland, stating that Israel’s recognition and this historic visit reflect a principled decision grounded in historical continuity, the right of self-determination, and Somaliland’s proven record as a stable, democratic, and responsible actor in regional and international affairs.

The President of the Republic of Somaliland, His Excellency Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi (Cirro), today received at the Presidential Palace of the Republic of Somaliland the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Israel, His Excellency Gideon Sa’ar and a large delegation he led, who arrived on an official visit to the Republic of Somaliland.
It's a great privilege to conduct the first official diplomatic visit to Somaliland, at the invitation of President @Abdirahmanirro.
The visit is also a message: We are determined to vigorously advance relations between Israel and Somaliland.
Today, we held substantive discussions with the President and senior members of his government on the full range of our relations.
The mutual recognition and establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries are not directed against anyone. Our shared objective is to promote the mutual benefit of both nations and countries.
In Hargeisa, I made it clear:
Only Israel will decide whom it recognizes and with whom it maintains diplomatic relations.
The President of Somaliland informed me that he has accepted @IsraeliPM Netanyahu’s invitation and will pay an official visit to Israel.
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.
Hamza openly admitted that his own home is guarded by a Christian woman from the ATMIS peacekeeping mission. He even mentioned that she sings Bible verses to him—an admission that is deeply embarrassing and humiliating 😆
The current AU head, a former long-serving Djiboutian foreign minister, stated on record that when the Houthis first began attacking merchant vessels in the Red Sea, Djiboutian regime didn’t condemned the strikes. Instead, he acknowledged a silent endorsement, justifying the attacks on the grounds that the Houthis were acting in support of their Palestinian “brothers.”
He further implied that Houthi assaults on Red Sea shipping constituted legitimate targets—an alarming stance for the leader of a continental body mandated to uphold peace, stability, and respect for international law.
It is deeply concerning that the Chairperson of the African Union would make such remarks, effectively legitimising the actions of a terrorist organisation that is disrupting international trade and threatening global maritime security.

If India aspires to protect itself and its interests in the Indian Ocean, it must work with State of Somaliland, India secures a permanent gateway into Africa and access to its 2nd most populous country, countering Beijing’s push to dominate the East African coast
President @HassanSMohamud of Somalia refuses to rule out military “force” against the Republic of Somaliland!
Maintaining a status quo where Somalia is recognised & Somaliland is not was never a neutral stance!
For almost 15 years, Somalia duped the world with endless talks, designed not to resolve anything but to buy time for the use of force.
Israel’s re-recognition has only accelerated that plan.
Dan Rather of @CBSEvening News:
A New Republic in a devastated Wasteland: Tom Fenton of CBS reported from Hargeisa, Somaliland on May 18, 1991. For decades, the world had turned away from the Isaaq genocide. That silence was broken last week when Israeli 🇮🇱 Deputy UN Ambassador Brett Jonathan Miller delivered a striking intervention at the United Nations, reminding the world body of the genocide and defending his government’s historic decision to recognize the Republic of Somaliland — a nation that emerged from the ashes to become a beacon of democracy, peace, stability, and good governance in an otherwise volatile region.

This is exactly what Algeria's foreign minister said at the UN General Assembly in September:
"Establishing a state is not a choice, but a necessity. It is not a favor, but a right.”
Only when it refers to the Palestinians does the UN support and applaud, and when it comes to Somaliland, they condemn and oppose.
After Israeli recognition, Somaliland Prez Irro chairs Council of Ministers session, 'marking pivotal moment in Somaliland’s modern statehood'
'Many more nations will soon formally recognize the Republic of Somaliland'
