In this video, Kenya’s Deputy High Commissioner at the @UKinKenya highlights how @FGMresearch (ACCAF’s) model is transforming health services: training professionals to identify risks, respond to complications, and support survivors with dignity.
From Narok’s Model Health Facility to national scale-up:
✅ Hands-on training for over 5,000 students across Kenya, Ethiopia, Somaliland & Senegal
✅ Community-rooted engagement shifting norms and beliefs about FGM
✅ Strengthened referral systems and survivor-centred care
Partnership, evidence, and strong health systems are making prevention sustainable and reaching girls often left behind.

#Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi Irro hailed Israel’s recognition as a historic day for peace, stability and cooperation, as #Israel’s FM @gidonsaar confirmed his landmark visit to Somaliland, announced plans to open embassies, and said the move to advance Somaliland–Israel ties is not directed against any country.
Today, at the Presidential Palace, I received
@gidonsaar H.E. Mr. Gideon Sa’ar, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Israel, and a high-level delegation on an official visit to the Republic of Somaliland, the first such visit by a foreign minister in 34 years after recognition. I conveyed my deep appreciation to the Government of Israel for its historic and courageous decision of 26 December 2025 to formally recognize the Republic of Somaliland. This milestone reflects a relationship founded on mutual respect and shared interests, aimed at cooperation and stability without prejudice to any party.
I emphasized that this recognition opens a new chapter of formal diplomatic relations, security, economic, and development cooperation, serving the mutual interests of both nations and contributing positively to peace and stability in the Horn of Africa.
I also reaffirmed that Somaliland is a reliable and responsible partner, strategically positioned and committed to advancing regional and international peace, security, and constructive engagement.
For the Republic of Somaliland, having strong friends in the world like Israel and the United States carries great significance. There is no doubt that the U.S. will recognize us soon. Thank you, Senator Ted Cruz
Recognizing Somaliland isn’t charity — it’s strategy. It aligns with America’s security interests and the “America First” doctrine by strengthening an ally that shares our values in a region vital to global trade and counterterrorism.
