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
To our dear brothers and sisters in Somaliland and its great people: from the UAE, we send you our love, respect, and sincere wishes for a future filled with peace, stability, and prosperity. May God bless your journey of nation-building and protect your land and people. 🇦🇪🤝
On #USA🇺🇲 & #Somaliland by @CFR_org’s @stevenacook: “In the Middle East and Horn of Africa, where it is hard to find a good opportunity, upgrading relations with Hargeisa [is] one...it is time to give up the pretense of #Somalia🇸🇴’s territorial integrity.”

Somaliland’s political, historical, and legal case for recognition meets a threshold that no other territory in Africa - not even Eritrea and South Sudan - could attain. You May have other legitimate arguments against its recognition, but this is not one of them. #Somaliland
America's most influential foreign policy journal @ForeignPolicy publishes a commentary on 5 September asking the Trump administration to recognise Somaliland.
This is the same day, President Irro arrived in the US for a landmark working visit.
More significant, the commentary is written by @stevenacook a leading author and thinker on US foreign policy who wields significant influence on policy-makers in the West.
This is huge.
Egyptians who have been so obnoxiously against Somaliland's close friendship with Israel quietly signed a 20 billion dollar contract to import Israeli gas.
Where are the condemnations by @amremoussa, @lassecgen et al? 😁

Woow, amazing!
This woman, who lives in South Africa, proudly shares that her grandfather was a Somalilander who migrated to South Africa many years ago. His name was Ahmed Khayre Elmi, and he belonged to the ISAAQ clan,Habr Yoonis. She describes him as a hardworking and honorable man.
She also explains that her grandmother was a White South African woman, and that her great grandfather on her grandmother’s side was a JEWISH man.
No matter where they settle around the world, the people of Somaliland never forget where they come from. They remain proud of their heritage, their roots, and their identity, passing their history down through generations.
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.

To honor Somaliland’s Independence Day, I’m glad to have met H.E. President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi (Irro), a leader who listens to his people. Wishing Somaliland continued peace, progress, and prosperity, and celebrating the strong ties between Somaliland and the UAE.
