@MarkusWiechel Thank you for support.

[Cabdiraxmaan Cirro @Abdirahmanirro]

Today, a new chapter in history has been written. I extend my deepest gratitude and sincere appreciation to the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu @netanyahu the Government of Israel, and the people of Israel for becoming the first nation in thirty-five years to formally recognize the Republic of Somaliland as a sovereign and independent state, affirming its nationhood, independence, and inherent right to self-determination.

This courageous and historic decision stands as a testament to the resilience, political maturity, and unwavering aspirations of the people of Somaliland. For more than three decades, our nation has remained steadfast in its commitment to peace, democracy, stability, and the democratic expression of the will of its people. Somaliland will never forget this historic gesture of friendship, mutual respect, and principled recognition.

We firmly believe that Somaliland and Israel will build a deep and enduring partnership founded on mutual respect, security, innovation, development, and a shared commitment to advancing the prosperity and well-being of our peoples.

I am also pleased to announce that the Republic of Somaliland and the State of Israel have formally signed a Strategic Joint Declaration of Cooperation, marking a historic milestone in relations between our two nations. This landmark agreement establishes the foundation for a lasting strategic partnership and deepens cooperation in the fields of agriculture, water management, security, technology, investment, economic development, and infrastructure.

This achievement represents a defining moment in Somaliland’s national journey and a significant milestone for its people. It will leave an enduring mark on our history and usher in a new era of partnership, opportunity, and international engagement.

Somaliland has prevailed.

The historic visit of the President of Somaliland to Israel is a moment filled with profound emotions and significance. As the president steps onto Israeli soil for the first time, there’s an overwhelming sense of pride and hope. This visit symbolizes not just a diplomatic milestone but also the aspirations of a nation seeking recognition and partnership on the global stage.@BjornSoder @MarkusWiechel @dailyeurotimes @visegrad24 @min_abdirahman @MOFA_Taiwan @somalilandmfa @Abdirahmanirro @SenTedCruz @JamaMusse @MadaxtooyadaJSL

After 35 years of resilience, hard work, and unwavering hope, the dawn of recognition is finally breaking.

If Somaliland is fighting a war, it is not one of bullets and blood—it is a war against war itself, against the grip of poverty, and against the shadows of illiteracy.

Let the world hear this truth: our battle is for books, bread, and dignity.

Congratulations to my people across the globe—your patience has planted a legacy, and your hope has harvested honor.
