U.S. recognition of Somaliland would risk the ire of Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. But it may be worth the anger, writes columnist @stevenacook. https://t.co/g77LuCcFnI

Thank you, @LordAshcroft for your valued endorsement and continued support for Somaliland’s recognition and democratic progress. We highly appreciate your advocacy encouraging President @realDonaldTrump to formally recognize Republic of Somaliland.
I am delighted to organise, and bring together Somaliland and Israeli investors, business leaders, and partners to explore new opportunities for trade, investment, innovation, and long-term economic cooperation.
The Somaliland–Israel business conference discussed on investment opportunities in ports, logistics, energy, fisheries, technology, agriculture, infrastructure, finance, health, and mining, while laying the foundation for practical cooperation, joint ventures, trade expansion, and long-term economic partnership between the two countries.
To @RealDonaldTrump@JDVance@SecRubio. Last August Senator Cruz sent this letter to the US President. Having just visited Somaliland may I endorse this letter as I believe in these troubled times it is in your national interest to do so…@tedcruz..
Ismaïl Omar Guelleh of Djibouti leads resistance to Somaliland recognition driven by port competition, Somalia ties, and regional influence. As Berbera rises, the Horn’s geopolitical contest intensifies. #Ethiopia#Geopolitics#Djibouti#Somaliland
Western media coverage of the UAE tends to centre on its involvement in conflicts such as Yemen.
What gets far less attention is its economic footprint in Africa: ports, infrastructure, trade and capital at scale.
The UAE is now the #1 GCC investor and the 4th largest globally in Africa with $100bn+ invested and 20,000+ African companies operating from the UAE.

Somaliland expects to reach a trade agreement soon with Israel, the first country to recognize its independence, and is willing to offer rights to valuable mineral deposits as part of a deal, President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi told Reuters https://t.co/4oxgSfjcPp
Last night in Davos, on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum, i met with the President of the State of Israel, @Isaac_Herzog at a high-level dinner. Our discussions focused on strengthening and advancing bilateral relations between the Republic of Somaliland and the State of Israel.
I also met @EricTrump , an influential global figure and son of the President of the United States, as well as other senior global political figures and international leaders.
Just a simple fact: HSM failed to unify Mogadishu, Garowe, and Kismayo. He has miserably failed to build a functional Somali National Army and still relies on foreign troops for protection. He failed to establish a credible electoral system in Somalia, yet imagines he can dictate anything within Somaliland’s borders. Lasanod is Somaliland, and we are committed to resolving differences through dialogue and peaceful means. HSM must put his own house in order—starting with a reliable electoral system that allows Somalis to choose better leadership. Somaliland’s recognition is now a reality, and no one can change that. #SomalilandRecognition
A GEOPOLITICAL EARTHQUAKE 💥
The scale of today’s rallies across Somaliland is nothing short of historic. Hundreds of thousands filled the streets of the nation’s largest cities with one clear message:
We are sovereign. We are strong. And our bond with the #UAE is unbreakable. 🇦🇪🔥
This is more than a moment; it’s a turning point 👉 ✊️
