Who looks more presidential here: the man called into a small event inside a heavily guarded compound, surrounded by tanks, or the man receiving a visit, in the comfort of his own palace, from the same host who had invited that embattled president? Meesha kama tage, waxna kuma tare!

International partnerships are sustained not by goodwill but by mutual strategic value.

#Somaliland occupies a key stretch of coastline along the Gulf of Aden, overlooking routes connecting Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Its proximity to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait places it near one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints through which roughly one-tenth of global seaborne trade passes. Any disruption carries immediate consequences for energy markets, supply chains, and global stability.

Beyond geography, Somaliland also offers political predictability. In a region often marked by instability, it has maintained relative institutional continuity and internal order, reducing political risk for long-term engagement.

Meanwhile, Israel’s advances in desalination, irrigation, climate-resilient agriculture, and cybersecurity directly address structural challenges facing Somaliland.

The Horn of Africa has consequently become a theatre of intense geopolitical competition. The #US and #China operate military bases in Djibouti, #Turkey has deepened its presence in Somalia, and the #UAE has invested heavily in regional ports, including Berbera. This reflects a broader reality: the Horn of Africa is now a central node in global strategic competition.

Importantly, this relationship should not be viewed through a donor–recipient lens. Modern geopolitics increasingly rewards reciprocity. #Israel contributes technology and expertise, while Somaliland contributes geography, stability, and access.

I wonder whether any #Kenyan politician who has been happy to serve in a Christian-majority country, and in one with which Israel has one of its closest relationships on the continent, has any right to lecture us about rejecting #Israel on religious grounds!

In anticipation of the highly awaited arrival of the President of the Republic of #Somaliland, H.E. Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi (@Abdirahmanirro), in #Israel today, the national flags of Somaliland have been prominently displayed across major streets throughout Tel Aviv.

This vibrant and welcoming display comes as official preparations intensify ahead of a scheduled series of high-level diplomatic meetings.

Dr. J. Peter Pham (@DrJPPham), the former #US Special Envoy for West and Central Africa, has officially extended his congratulations to the President and the people of the Republic of Somaliland on the 35th anniversary of the restoration of their independence.

In his message, Dr. Pham praised the nation's achievements, highlighting that #Somaliland—with its sustained peace and functioning democratic governance—serves as an exemplary model not only for the region but for the broader global community.

[Abdirahman Abdishakur @AAbdishakur]

The Turkish government’s decision to publicly reaffirm support for @HassanSMohamud immediately after the expiration of his constitutional mandate, at a moment when Somalia faces a contested political transition and no agreed electoral framework, sends a deeply troubling political signal.

Somalis have long valued the historic relationship with Türkiye, built on solidarity and mutual respect. That relationship must remain anchored in support for the Somali people, constitutional governance, and inclusive political consensus, not personalized alignment with a single political figure during a fragile and contested transition.

Somalia’s stability cannot be sustained through external endorsement of expired mandates or concentration of power. Durable peace and stability require legitimacy, broad political agreement, accountable institutions, and public trust.

Somalia making frantic outreach to Israel via intermediaries to signal its intent to join the Abraham Accords.

This is great news for Israel.

Israel is happy to get Mogadishu to join the Abraham Accords but not at the expense of Hargeisa.

Looks like Tel Aviv may get two sovereign Somali states for the price of one.

Who would have thought !
