The re-recognition of #Somaliland, which gained its independence on 26 June 1960 from the UK Great Britain & Ireland, is both legally justified & morally right.
Very well said by our President of Somaliland H.E. @Abdirahmanirro - a clear reflection of our enduring values, principled leadership, and commitment to meaningful partnerships grounded in mutual respect and shared vision. #Somaliland#Israel 💪🤝✌️
H.E. President @AbdirahmanIrro was awarded the prestigious Friends of Zion Award in Jerusalem—Israel’s highest honour for foreign leaders from friendly nations.

Thank you, Ambassador Danny @dannydanon, for your principled voice and continued support for Somaliland. As history has shown, those who fail to learn from the past risk repeating its mistakes. Your engagement reflects the importance of informed and forward-looking leadership.✌️
When the Somali regime, led by Siad Barre, committed a massacre against the people of Somaliland, the world was silent. But Israel was not silent.
In 1990, Israel’s then-ambassador to the UN, Yohanan Bein, sent a letter to the UN Security Council warning about the massacre committed by Somalia in the city of Hargeisa. Even when it was inconvenient and diplomatically costly, Israel chose what was right.
That is what moral leadership looks like.
Honored to host my dear friend President @Abdirahmanirro at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during his historic State Visit to open Somaliland’s embassy in Jerusalem.
I’m proud of the privilege I had to write the first pages in the story of the Israel-Somaliland relationship.
This friendship exists not only between governments, but also in the hearts of our peoples.
We’ll continue strengthening it for the benefit of both countries!

Sen. Ted Cruz: "Somaliland promises to be a critical counterterrorism ally for the United States, both because of its strong willingness to partner with us and because of its unique location. We should recognize the Republic of Somaliland as an independent state and, in the meantime, significantly boost our counterterrorism cooperation."
Iran expert Lisa Daftari on why Tehran fears the small African state:
"Somaliland is offering the United States what the mullahs fear most in this theater — an alternative, resilient platform on the African shore that includes an airfield, port, and over-the-horizon access that would dilute Houthi leverage and give Washington options that don't depend on Djibouti or Persian Gulf partners alone."
The breakaway state overlooks the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, where Houthis have choked global shipping.
Ambassador David Lee Carden, former United States Ambassador to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), delivered a powerful and visionary speech at the #Somaliland Independence Recognition Institute, drawing on decades of experience in diplomacy, urban planning and nation-building.
Using lessons from the Great Chicago Fire and Singapore’s transformation into a global hub, Carden said resilient nations can turn adversity into opportunity through innovation, strategic governance and long-term vision.
He described #Somaliland as a society with enormous untapped potential, arguing that its stability, strategic location and democratic progress position it for a stronger future and deeper international engagement.
Call to all Somaliland brothers and sisters - join me and the SOMALILAND IR INSTITUTE in sharing your own videos of tearing up the blood stained Act of Union (just a blank sheet of paper with ACT OF UNION written on it with #justice4somaliland below it) - together justice will triumph.

I am delighted to organise, and bring together Somaliland and Israeli investors, business leaders, and partners to explore new opportunities for trade, investment, innovation, and long-term economic cooperation.
The Somaliland–Israel business conference discussed on investment opportunities in ports, logistics, energy, fisheries, technology, agriculture, infrastructure, finance, health, and mining, while laying the foundation for practical cooperation, joint ventures, trade expansion, and long-term economic partnership between the two countries.
