U.S. President Donald Trumpโs remarks underscore Somalilandโs distinct identity and its separate political reality.
The Republic of Somaliland remains steadfast in its pursuit of international recognition through principled diplomacy and constructive international engagement.

The Republic of Somaliland proudly joins the World Alliance for Disaster Management (WADM) as a founding member, marking a significant milestone in Somalilandโs international multilateral engagement.
AJC was honored to meet with Somaliland President (@PresidencySL_) Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi, Foreign Minister Abdirahman Dahir Adan, Minister of Defense Mohamed Yusuf Ali Ahmed, Speaker of Parliament Yasin Haji Mohamoud, and other senior Somaliland leaders to discuss developments in the Horn of Africa, regional security, the democratic country's strategic importance, and Somalilandโs growing relationship with Israel.
The discussion also explored the significance of Israel being the first UN member state to officially recognize Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state, as well as opportunities for deeper cooperation between Somaliland and Israel.
AJCโs Center for a New Middle East is committed to building trusted partnerships with leaders around the world and fostering dialogue on the issues shaping Israel, the Middle East, and beyond.
During my visit to Washington, D.C., I met with members of the U.S. Congress and international ambassadors to discuss stronger SomalilandโU.S. relations, strategic cooperation, regional security, trade and investment.
I reaffirmed Somalilandโs role as a reliable strategic partner committed to advancing shared interests.

As the President of the Republic of Somaliland undertakes a historic working visit to Washington, D.C., let us stand together in the spirit of our national unity, dignity, and shared purpose, supporting our countryโs national efforts and safeguarding the sovereignty, independence, and existence of the Republic of Somaliland.
Today, more than ever, our nation calls for one voice, one vision, and one united people.
Our nationhood is not the possession of any government or political group; it is a shared heritage, a sacred collective responsibility, and a legacy we carry together.

#Somaliland flags fly in Jerusalem as President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi Irro begins his historic visit to Israel.
The visit signals growing ties between Somaliland and #Israel, with talks expected to focus on security, investment, technology, water and regional cooperation.

Somaliaโs daydreaming changes nothing. Berbera is the birthplace of our President, and the UAE is a trusted friend of Somaliland. They invested in Berbera when others doubted usโtoday, everyone is talking about Berbera. We are a nation of principles, and we stand by our friends. The UAE is here to stay, no matter what a weak administration in Mogadishu says. #SomalilandRecognition
