Somaliland President Announces Shift to Tel Aviv for Talks with Somalia and Upcoming Trump Meeting
#Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi "Irro" declared that past negotiations with Somalia hosted by Turkey yielded no meaningful results, stating that any future talks between the two sides will be held in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Irro also revealed plans to visit the United States in September for a private meeting with President Donald Trump, while asserting that Somaliland expects to secure international recognition from at least one additional nation before the end of 2026.
They said nothing wrong but just the reality on the ground. In plain English, they said the reality is changing over claims.
To ask you again, where does your HSM govern?
Here we go again.
Ethiopia, through the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia’s Institute of Foreign Affairs, @ifa_ethiopia, dismembers Somalia on an official map.
President @HassanSMohamud and @AliOmarMP, for lack of a better phrase, it is time for you to get a grip and grow a pair. Somalia’s sovereignty is routinely trampled upon by this country, while it plays dumb and repeatedly attempts to normalize sovereignty diminishing gimmickry.
They have done this to the country you lead more than ten times: Somalia-erasing maps, maps depicting Somaliland as a separate country, their national airline presenting Somaliland as another country, and now their Institute of Foreign Affairs engaging obsessively in misinformation and disinformation.
Enough.
Get rid of their troops and their embassy. Then perhaps they will wise up.
The Republic of #Somaliland has a distinct cultural identity, with its own traditional dress, dances, cuisine, and customs that reflect the region’s unique heritage and history.
Honored to host a true friend of Israel, South Sudan’s FM James Pitia Morgan in Jerusalem today.
Israel supported the establishment and independance of South Sudan, and continue to stand with its people in many ways, working together to grow our bilateral relations and cooperation.
Speaking about regional developments, I reiterated Israel’s desire for peace with Lebanon as reflected in the framework agreement signed this weekend.
I stressed that peace and security can only be achieved by the disarmament of Hezbollah.
BREAKING: Somaliland’s President gets a hero’s welcome in Hargeisa after a historic trip to Israel
Crowds flooded the streets waving both Somaliland and Israeli flags, warmly celebrating the newly forged ties between the two nations.
Somaliland Foreign Minister Abdirahman Dahir Adam (@min_abdirahman ): “Cooperation with Israel knows no limits. We are ready to work together in security, economic, political, and any other areas that serve the mutual interests of both countries.”
President’s state visit was not only about diplomacy, it was about saving lives. Israel has provided free heart treatment to 49 Somaliland children, with more receiving care. Nine children are waiting for life-saving surgery, let’s keep them in our prayers.
A strong Somaliland–Israel partnership will bring lasting benefits in health, water, agriculture, education, trade and national security.
In an interview with Kan News, I reaffirmed that Somaliland will independently determine its own course and freely choose the partnerships it pursues. No external force will dictate our actions or influence the relationships we establish. Somaliland remains steadfast in safeguarding its sovereignty and advancing partnerships founded on mutual respect and shared interests.
It was a privilege to visit Somaliland children receiving life-saving heart surgery in Israel and to witness firsthand care and treatment being provided to them. The courage, resilience, and smiles of these young children serve as a powerful reminder of the value of hope and the profound importance of saving human lives.
I extend my sincere gratitude to the doctors, medical professionals, and all those whose humanitarian efforts have made it possible for these Somaliland children to receive the treatment they need. My thoughts and prayers are with the children and their families. I pray for their full recovery, good health, and a bright future.
Somaliland has officially opened its embassy in Jerusalem, marking a historic milestone in its relationship with Israel and a significant step forward in its pursuit of international recognition. Following Israel’s recognition of Somaliland earlier this year, the embassy opening reflects deepening bilateral ties and highlights Somaliland’s growing diplomatic presence on the global stage. I congratulate both Israel and Somaliland on this historic achievement. I know firsthand the value of diplomatic representation: embassies play a vital role in advancing cooperation and strengthening relationships between nations. This achievement reinforces a growing call for the international community to formally recognize Somaliland’s sovereignty and support its place among the world’s nations.
