So I visited an Austro-Hungarian castle in Italy showing a map of the Horn of Africa from centuries ago. And of course Somalia did not include Somaliland then, just as it doesn’t include it now.

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahiim;
I have arrived in Israel as the first President of the Republic of Somaliland to undertake a State Visit, and I am honoured by the warm welcome extended by my friend, President @Isaac_Herzog
For thirty-five years, the people of Somaliland have built a peaceful, democratic, and resilient nation. We asked the world: Do you see us? Israel answered first. Today marks a historic milestone in our journey and the beginning of a new chapter in the relationship between Somaliland and Israel.
To the people of Somaliland: I carry your hopes and aspirations with me. Generations have struggled, sacrificed, and persevered to bring our nation to this moment. We will seize this opportunity with confidence, wisdom, and determination, always guided by the interests of our people and our Republic.
Today, history is being written, and Somaliland stands ready to forge a shared future founded on friendship, cooperation, and mutual respect.

@h0serr Even that one has been divided into five different states, Somalia's failed state so-called administration don't even control one that states. Most of their are covered by Alshabaab, while other states are controled by dictator leaders.
The five-pointed star on the Flag of Somalia represents Djibouti, Somaliland, the Somali Region in Ethiopia, the North Eastern Province in Kenya, and Somalia.
Of these, Somalia controls only one.
With today's historic re-recognition of Somaliland by Israel—the first nation to formally recognize Somaliland as independent and sovereign—the world is finally awakening! Watch this powerful video and witness why this moment has arrived. Ask yourself which country will next recognize freedom, justice, and peace.
