Can a political entity govern itself effectively for more than three decades and still remain outside the community of recognised states? In my latest article, The #Somaliland Test: Recognition, Political Reality, and International Order, I argue that the central question is no longer simply whether #Somaliland should be recognised. It is whether the international system still possesses a coherent standard for recognising enduring political realities. The article examines the intersection of international law, geopolitics, and state recognition, and asks what prolonged non-recognition means for the credibility of the international order itself.

I proudly support stronger ties between Somaliland and Israel. The world is changing fast, and Somaliland must stand with nations that value partnership, security, technology and mutual respect. Our strategic position, stability and vision for the future make Somaliland an important partner in the Red Sea and Horn of Africa. This is about progress, opportunity and securing our place on the global stage. ๐ธ
According to sources, #Israel is actively seeking to establish a naval and military presence in the port of Berbera in #Somaliland. The Israeli Navy could deploy its #German-built Dolphin-class submarines there. https://t.co/me4z43QSAk
I strongly condemn the shameful hypocrisy of Turkey, Egypt, the Arab League, and certain Islamist organizations attacking Somaliland over its diplomatic choices.
Governments that openly cooperate with Israel behind closed doors suddenly act outraged when Somaliland refuses to remain isolated and politically invisible.
Their double standards are disgraceful.
Somaliland rebuilt peace, democracy, and stability from ruins while others exported failed politics and regional manipulation into the Horn of Africa.
We will never seek permission from hypocrites to defend our national interests.
