Devastating. Hargeysa main market, the city centre is all gone. 100.000s poeple lost their livelihood within few hours. It's so heartbreaking. #Somaliland was already struggling with the effect of the drought. 💔

Salure Mr. President. You perplexed your adversaries by your diplomatic tour de force!

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Glad to speak with my friend, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and convey New Year greetings to him and the people of Israel. We discussed ways to further strengthen the India-Israel Strategic Partnership in the year ahead.

We also exchanged views on the regional situation and reaffirmed our shared resolve to fight terrorism with greater determination.

So the African Union is holding an "emergency session" on Israel's recognition of Somaliland. More useless hot air and carbon dioxide; zero results. Some members petrified of their own mistreated regions going their own way. Try providing justice to all!

The President of the Republic of Somaliland, H.E. President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi (Irro), today received the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Israel, H.E. Gideon Sa’ar, accompanied by senior Israeli officials, at the Presidential Palace.

President @AbdirahmanIrro characterized Israel’s recognition as a historic and consequential act that formally acknowledges the sovereignty of the Republic of Somaliland.

His Excellency also underscored that the decision affirms Somaliland’s established democratic record and internal stability, and firmly positions the Republic as a key contributor to peace and security in the Horn of Africa and beyond.

Minister Gideon Sa’ar reaffirmed the State of Israel’s full commitment to the Republic of Somaliland, stating that Israel’s recognition and this historic visit reflect a principled decision grounded in historical continuity, the right of self-determination, and Somaliland’s proven record as a stable, democratic, and responsible actor in regional and international affairs.

Thank you Senator Ted Cruz for your leadership in calling for U.S. recognition of #Somaliland.

This step aligns with our shared interest in strengthening regional cooperation and democratic governance. Somaliland is a peacefull, trusted partner in a region vital to global trade and counter-terrorism

[Abdirahman Dahir Adam @min_abdirahman]

We deeply appreciate H.E. @gidonsaar for this historic visit, the first by a foreign minister to Somaliland in 34 years. His commitment to strengthening ties between Somaliland and Israel marks the beginning of a promising partnership grounded in mutual respect, shared values, and common goals for peace and prosperity.

[Khadar Hussein Abdi @khadarlooge]

We thank the Foreign Minister of the State of Israel for his historic visit to Somaliland following recognition. This visit sends a clear message: Somaliland–Israel relations are not symbolic, but evolving into a comprehensive strategic partnership. Somalia’s false claims do not change the reality on the ground—this is our land and we govern it. This relationship is intended to advance economic development, peace, and regional stability. #SomalilandRecognition

Hhhhhh.

[Dr. J. Peter Pham 🇺🇲 @DrJPPham]

@TiborPNagyJr Maybe because if rump #Somalia🇸🇴 were not a failed state, its political elites would not be able claim refugee status in the #USA🇺🇸 & enrich themselves through defrauding American taxpayers — exhibit #1, the unelected Mogadishu regime’s man at the #UN🇺🇳.😂

I see Mogadishu is having a snit-fit over the visit to Hargeisa by Israel's Foreign Minister. I've said before - instead of trying to make Somaliland fail, why doesn't Somali Govt focus on making their own country a viable, functioning, secure nation?

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.

זכות גדולה לקיים את הביקור המדיני הרשמי הראשון בסומלילנד בהזמנת הנשיא אבדירחמן מוחמד עבדילאהי.
הביקור הוא גם מסר - אנו נחושים לקדם בתנופה את היחסים בין ישראל לסומלילנד. קיימנו היום דיונים משמעותיים עם הנשיא ובכירי ממשלו הנוגעים למכלול היחסים בינינו.
ההכרה ההדדית וכינון היחסים הדיפלומטיים בין שתי המדינות אינם נגד אף אחד. מטרתנו המשותפת היא לקדם את טובת 2 העמים והמדינות.
בהרגייסה הבהרתי: רק ישראל תקבע לעצמה במי היא מכירה ועם מי לקיים קשרים מדיניים.
נשיא סומלילנד מסר לי, כי הוא מקבל את הזמנת ראש הממשלה נתניהו ויגיע לביקור רשמי בישראל.

[Gideon Sa'ar | גדעון סער @gidonsaar]

It's a great privilege to conduct the first official diplomatic visit to Somaliland, at the invitation of President @Abdirahmanirro.
The visit is also a message: We are determined to vigorously advance relations between Israel and Somaliland.
Today, we held substantive discussions with the President and senior members of his government on the full range of our relations.
The mutual recognition and establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries are not directed against anyone. Our shared objective is to promote the mutual benefit of both nations and countries.
In Hargeisa, I made it clear:
Only Israel will decide whom it recognizes and with whom it maintains diplomatic relations.
The President of Somaliland informed me that he has accepted @IsraeliPM Netanyahu’s invitation and will pay an official visit to Israel.
