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.

Sen. Ted Cruz: "Somaliland promises to be a critical counterterrorism ally for the United States, both because of its strong willingness to partner with us and because of its unique location. We should recognize the Republic of Somaliland as an independent state and, in the meantime, significantly boost our counterterrorism cooperation."
Iran expert Lisa Daftari on why Tehran fears the small African state:
"Somaliland is offering the United States what the mullahs fear most in this theater — an alternative, resilient platform on the African shore that includes an airfield, port, and over-the-horizon access that would dilute Houthi leverage and give Washington options that don't depend on Djibouti or Persian Gulf partners alone."
The breakaway state overlooks the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, where Houthis have choked global shipping.
@somalilandlaw I would like to become part of this NGO to contribute my skills, energy, and commitment toward positive change and the promotion of the rule of law. I am motivated to support meaningful community impact and be actively involved in its mission
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.
The Government of the Republic of #Somaliland strongly condemns the Somalia Government’s calls for foreign military intervention. Such statements are a grave escalation and a clear violation of the UN Charter.
“U.S. Senator Ted Cruz said in a post on X on Monday that recognising Somaliland was aligned with U.S. security interests, calling it ‘an ally that shares our values in a region vital to global trade and counterterrorism.’” | @Reuters

Ka dib aqoonsigii taariikhiga ahaa ee ay Israa’iil siisay Somaliland, Madaxweynaha Somaliland, Cabdiraxmaan Maxamed Cabdillaahi, ayaa qorsheynaya inuu si rasmi ah oo fagaare ah u booqdo Israa’iil dhawaan. Sida ay sheegeen ilo-wareedyo ku sugan Somaliland oo xog-ogaal u ah arrintan, kana warramay laanta wararka ee KAN News. Waxaa xusid mudan in Madaxweynaha Somaliland uu horay u booqday Israa’iil booqasho qarsoodi ah.
Dhanka maamulka Hargeysa, waxaa suurtagal ah in booqashada fagaare ee madaxweynuhu ay dhacdo toddobaadka labaad ee bisha Janaayo. Israa’iil waxay xaqiijisay in ay jiraan wadahadallo ku saabsan booqashada, balse weli lama cayimin taariikh rasmi ah.
Sida ay isla ilo-wareedyada Somaliland u sheegeen KAN News, inta uu booqashadiisa ku jiro Israa’iil, madaxweynuhu wuxuu qorsheynayaa inuu si rasmi ah ugu biiro Heshiisyada Ibraahim (Abraham Accords) isla markaana uu saxiixo heshiisyo laba-geesood ah oo dheeraad ah, kuwaas oo ku saabsan dhinacyo kala duwan, oo ay ka mid yihiin: beeraha, macdanta iyo shidaalka, amniga, kaabeyaasha dhaqaalaha, dalxiiska, iyo kuwo kale.
H.E. President @AbdirahmanIrro delivers his New Year 2026 address to the people of Somaliland at home and across the diaspora, reaffirming national unity, shared purpose, and confidence in the road ahead.
#Somalia has organised a group of social media influencers who publicly staged a mock slaughter of a person wearing clothing bearing the flags of Somaliland and Israel, declaring that they would “slaughter #Somaliland and #Israel,” while using openly antisemitic language.
Israel is the country with the biggest heart 🇮🇱💙
19 children from Somaliland were brought to Israel this year with a family companion by @SaveChildsHeart for life-saving cardiac treatment.
