On 26 June, People of Somaliland proudly commemorate the day the Republic of Somaliland gained independence in 1960.

Today, the Republic of Somaliland reaffirms its enduring statehood, democratic path and rightful place among free nations.

So I visited an Austro-Hungarian castle in Italy showing a map of the Horn of Africa from centuries ago. And of course Somalia did not include Somaliland then, just as it doesn’t include it now.

[Jen Brick Murtazashvili @jmurtazashvili]

Somaliland was an independent state in 1960. It joined a union to become Somalia. It chose to leave. Not like the Kurds at all. Think Czechoslovakia.

Somaliland had to endure hyper-centralized terror of Siad Barre. Dictators ruling hyper-centralized regimes are often terrified that devolving power to regions or minorities will lead to secessionism, disintegration, and state collapse.

The lesson from Somaliland is the opposite: what produces exit politics is when dictators double down on repression and hypercentralization.

That should be a warning to Syria. To Ethiopia. To Yemen. To Somalia. To Afghanistan.

These vicious cycles of state failure are not caused by autonomy. They are caused by brutal rulers who refuse to share power or reform.

Somaliland was fortunate to find an exit strategy from life inside a failed state that had refused to reform.

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.

Grateful that President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi (Cirro) and I arrived in Israel yesterday as part of the Republic of Somaliland’s delegation for our first-ever state visit, a historic five-day journey marking a new chapter in our shared future. Thank you to President Isaac Herzog and the State of Israel for the warm welcome. President Cirro will lead high-level meetings on investment, economic cooperation, and defense with Israeli leaders and engage with business leaders and innovators. We are committed to mutual respect and prosperity for both nations.

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..

[The Spectator @spectator]

Somalia has been a byword for failed statehood and violence for so long that the calm of Somaliland, its neighbour to the north-east, feels almost miraculous.

In contrast to Mogadishu, the bustling streets of Hargeisa, Somaliland’s capital, aren’t patrolled by grim-faced soldiers. Government offices aren’t huddled behind blast walls and protected by foreign troops.

You can wander into a restaurant and enjoy camel steaks (a national speciality) without worrying about al-Shabaab terrorists.

[Rauda Altenaiji @FormulaRauda]

Hargeisa, Somaliland’s capital, was heavily bombed—up to 70–90% of the city was destroyed during The Isaaq Genocide in 1987 and 1989. Civilians were subjected to mass killings and widespread rape.

One thing about landers, their spirits are held high. They managed to turn this atrocity into something widely successful: a peaceful nation in The Horn of Africa.

The Truth About Somaliland

For more than 30 years, Somaliland has quietly defied the narrative imposed on much of the Horn of Africa.

Another fruitful meeting yesterday: The Swedish-Somaliland friendship group in Parliament. This time around 30 pro-Somaliland MPs were brought together to listen to the very talented Ambassador @WaesZakaria and special envoy Mikael Torstensson.

Until the next time! 👏
