#Somaliland’s “sovereignty is not a legal inheritance from 1960.. Rather, its claim is empirical, built over three decades of relative peace, consistent democratic transitions and internal cohesion following a catastrophic civil war.” A must-read piece:👇 dailymaverick.co.za/article/2026-0…

🚨"We now own Somalia's oil". Turkish media discussing the Somalian-Turkish deal: "We did not go to Somalia to fish". "We [Turkey] will have no external dependence in terms of energy after this deal, we will even be in a position to export energy". Somalia is finished.

#Somaliland Is a Recognized Country. It is Time to Act Like One. @Israel recognized #Somaliland. The breakthrough is won. Now comes the work. Three uncomfortable truths Somaliland must confront: 🧵

Turkey-Somalia ties resemble suzerainty. Turkey now controls air(ports), gas exploration, defense, airspace, fishery. This mirrors when Ottoman suzerains (via Egypt) ultimately enabled Brits to colonise Somaliland. History warns such deals can lead to greater foreign dominance.

The 🇺🇸 is deeply concerned by reports that Federal Government of Somalia officials have destroyed a US-funded World Food Programme (WFP) warehouse and illegally seized 76 metric tons of donor-funded food aid for vulnerable Somalis. The Trump Administration has a zero-tolerance policy for waste, theft, and diversion of life-saving assistance.

Former President of Somaliland, Ahmed Mohamed Mahamuud Silanyo, speaking to us from beyond the grave, may he rest in eternal peace.
