[Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz]

President Trump has made his position on Somaliland clear: Somaliland is a totally different country than Somalia. The State Department should be taking steps in line with the President's guidance, up to and including recognizing Somaliland's independence.

Last week I questioned President Trump's nominee to be ambassador to Somalia on the issue. I made it clear that his confirmation relies on the State Department making progress towards that goal.

As the New York Sun explains, "Mr. Cruz makes sense to us."

I support @SenTedCruz efforts and call on the U.S. Department of State to follow President Trump’s vision for Somaliland and translate it into formal action by granting Somaliland diplomatic recognition

@SenTedCruz Thank you Mr Senator 👏

[Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz]

President Trump has rightly said that Somaliland is "a totally different country" than Somalia. That is exactly the correct policy. It is long past time for the U.S. to recognize Somaliland.

Today I questioned the nominee to be Ambassador to Somalia to confirm that he agrees President Trump's position. He declined to do so.

I told him that whether he is confirmed or not will depend on whether the State Department follows the President's guidance.

[Abdirahman Dahir Adam @min_abdirahman]

Grateful as always to Senator @tedcruz for his principled leadership and unwavering advocacy for Somaliland. As President Trump has affirmed, Somaliland is not Somalia, and Senator Cruz has consistently stood with the people of Somaliland.

Somaliland is a self-governing, democratic partner committed to regional security, counterterrorism and freedom of navigation. We stand ready to deepen our partnership with the United States in pursuit of peace, stability and shared prosperity in the Horn of Africa.

[SomalilandUSA @SomalilandUS]

Thank you @SenTedCruz for your simple but powerful statement: “Somaliland is not Somalia.”

✅ Self-governed since 1991
✅ Multiple democratic elections
✅ Peaceful transfer of power
✅ Close ties with Taiwan
✅ China opposes Somaliland's independence
✅ Recognizes Israel
✅ Offers the U.S. favorable diplomatic, economic & security partnerships

I am honoured to receive the Letters of Credence of H.E. Mr. Michael Lotem, the first Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the State of Israel @Israel to the Republic of Somaliland, marking a historic milestone in our diplomatic relations.

As the first Ambassador accredited to Somaliland by a United Nations Member State, his appointment heralds a new chapter in Israel–Somaliland relations, founded on mutual respect, friendship, and a shared commitment to strengthening bilateral cooperation and partnership.

Trump and ilhan: Q/A

Trump: ilhan omer why did you steal Minnesota’s wealth?

ilhan: White Americans who take no action get taken advantage of so why do you care?

Ilhan: I’m now collecting $5 and $10 donations so people will think I haven’t embezzled any money.😂

Trump: 😡😡

Thank You Somaliland For Hearing My Voice‼️

Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi (Irro), said Somaliland is standing with Ethiopia.

Speaking on Thursday, October 15, upon returning from a trip lasting more than a month to the United States and the United Arab Emirates, Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi (Irro) said
“Ethiopia is a neighbouring country in whose cooperation and partnership we have great confidence. We strongly oppose interference or any action that could threaten its stability and national sovereignty,”

Thank Somaliland for standing on the right side of the history.

[Habtish Gurmu (Commentary) @Habtishgreat]

I am puzzled by the absence of any statement from the Somaliland government on the recent developments between Ethiopian federal government, TPLF, and Eritrea. During the 2024 MoU between Ethiopia and Somaliland, Eritrea made its position cleared.
Eritrea has long taken a hostile position toward Somaliland, yet when an opportunity arose to respond in kind, Somaliland remained silent.

Somaliland, where do you stand?

[Commentary Trump Daily Posts @TrumpDailyPosts]

Trump just called Somaliland a “totally different country” from Somalia and suggested renaming it to make the distinction clear.
For 35 years Somaliland has run its own government, army, and elections while Somalia has remained a failed state drawing heavy U.S. aid.
One side has celebrated the American flag in its streets. The other has been filmed stomping it.
Crowds in Hargeisa immediately waved both flags after Trump’s remarks.
The facts haven’t changed, only the question of how long American tax dollars keep treating the two as the same.

[Thomas Jones @Thomas_JonesX]

SOMALILAND IS THROWING TRUMP A PARTY.

Crowds packed the streets of Hargeisa this week waving AMERICAN flags, some with Trump's face on them, after he said at his Ohio rally that Somaliland is "a totally different country" from Somalia.

Ted Cruz piled on: "Somaliland is not Somalia. Well past time for the United States to formally recognize it."

I'm with Cruz on this one. They've run their own government, army and passport for over 30 years, and they sit right on the Gulf of Aden across from Yemen. Israel already recognized them last December.

Still, nothing's official yet. If the White House means it, put it in writing.

[One America News @OANN]

WE’RE CRAZY NOT TO RECOGNIZE SOMALILAND.

They’re sitting next to the Bab el-Mandeb — the chokepoint that moves 10-12% of global seaborne trade — and begging America to take the spare key. Berbera port, long runway, Taiwan ties, critical minerals, no Al-Shabaab since 2008.

Somalia is the failed state that keeps exporting fraudsters and Ilhan Omar.

There is no downside.

Somaliland made its choice to be pro-American and pro-Israel a decade ago.

[Herman J. Cohen @CohenOnAfrica]

Hundreds gathered in Somaliland's capital, Hargeisa, waving American and Somaliland flags after President Trump described Somaliland as "a totally different country" from Somalia. I welcome his acknowledgment of Somaliland's distinct identity. Since restoring its independence in 1991, Somaliland has built democratic institutions, held competitive elections, and demonstrated its commitment to democracy through peaceful transfers of power, most recently in 2024. The United States should now take the next step and formally recognize Somaliland as an independent nation.

I extend my sincere congratulations to H.E. Dr. @AbiyAhmedAli on his re-election as Prime Minister of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.

Somaliland and Ethiopia share longstanding ties rooted in geography, history and common interests. I look forward to working with Prime Minister Abiy to deepen our cooperation, promote peace and stability across the region, and expand opportunities for trade and development.

I wish Prime Minister Abiy every success in his renewed mandate, and the people of Ethiopia continued peace, prosperity and progress.
