التلفزيون الإيراني يعرض خريطة تُظهر إقليم أرض الصومال كدولة مستقلة، في إشارة تُفسَّر على أنها استعداد إيراني لدعم تقسيم الصومال، على غرار الخطوة الإسرائيلية
Today, the Saudis are effectively cut off from exporting or importing product via waterways - both the Iranian closure of Hormoz and the Yemeni blockade (Bab al-Mandab/Red Sea entrance) have ensured this.
Ironically, #KSA recognized in the UAE-Israel alliance a plan to do exactly the same last year when Tel Aviv moved into Somaliland and Emirati-backed troops launched a military surge in Yemen's south for further control of the port-heavy territory. [See map below to visualize how Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv together could sever Saudi Arabia's access to major shipping routes.]
The Israel-UAE axis sought to neuter and potentially even break up Saudi Arabia, and Riyadh finally recognized the threat.
Conversely, the Iranians - at least all officials I've spoken to over many years before this war - have always sought to prevent the kingdom's destabilization. They view a Saudi internal collapse as an event that could radiate throughout the region, and hamper West Asia's geopolitical/economic development for decades to come, which malign foreign actors would easily exploit.
Riyadh can make an easy decision now to partner with Iran, Pakistan, Egypt, Turkiye and craft a new security model in the Persian Gulf, including the design of land-based trade and pipeline infrastructure that benefit all West Asian stakeholders. No one will be excluded.
Or it can play along with this US war, see Iran as its prime enemy, destabilize it, then be left naked for when the Israelis and Emiratis come for Saudi Arabia - with tacit US approval and active UK assistance, of course.
July 1st is not a day of celebration! it is a day of remembrance and sorrow for the people of the Republic of Somaliland.
July 1st is a day marked by injustice, oppression, and betrayal.
For the people of Somaliland, July 1st symbolizes the moment its hard-won sovereignty was sacrificed to a union that brought neither equality nor fraternity, but decides of suffering, injustice and cruelty.
For the people of the Republic of Somaliland, a reflection on July 1st strengthens our collective enduring resolve that our sovereignty, statehood, dignity, and right to determine our own destiny shall never again be compromised.
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.
Congratulations to H.E. President @Abdirahmanirro, the Gov’t & people of #Somaliland on the 66th anniversary of independence from the #UK🇬🇧 whilst #Somalia#Italiana🇮🇹 was still a #UN🇺🇳 trust. Be proud of your history, resilience, democracy & achievements: a model for the region!
I extend my warmest congratulations to all the people of the Republic of Somaliland on the 66th anniversary of our independence, 26 June 1960. On this historic day, Somaliland became the first of the five Somali territories to attain independence.
The President of Somaliland, Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi (Cirro), received a warm and enthusiastic reception in Hargeisa following his return from what is being described as a historic visit to Israel.
