In Sheffield, our Somaliland community is a valued and integral part of our city. UK policy must now align principle with reality and recognise the political facts on the ground. Somaliland has shown stability and democratic legitimacy for many years. Clinging to failed processes is not diplomacy. UK foreign policy should align principle with the reality on the ground and move towards recognition of Somaliland.
Serious foreign policy must be rooted in reality. The UK’s policy on Somaliland requires urgent reconsideration. Our statement ⬇️ @YvetteCooperMP @JennyChapman @CPJElmore

Labour Friends of Somaliland welcomes the announcement by Israel becoming the first country to formally re-recognise the Republic of Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state. @YvetteCooperMP @JennyChapman
On 26 December 2025, the State of Israel formally recognized the Republic of Somaliland as a sovereign and independent state, following a high-level virtual meeting between H.E. President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi (Irro) and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. During the discussions, the Prime Minister extended a formal invitation to President @Abdirahmanirro to undertake an official visit to the State of Israel to advance and formalize bilateral cooperation. This historic act affirms Somaliland’s enduring statehood, validates its decades-long pursuit of lawful recognition, and marks its irreversible emergence onto the international stage as a legitimate, responsible, and peace-anchoring member of the community of nations.
Trump on Somaliland: We are working on that, another complex one.
