Kudos to @SenTedCruz, Chair of the @SenateForeign #Africa Subcommittee, for calling on @POTUS admin to advance #USA🇺🇲 strategic interests by recognizing the reality of #Somaliland’s independence & sovereignty, instead of indulging delusions of the rump #Somalia🇸🇴 failed state.

Refreshing the memory of @_AfricanUnion lest their archives was compromised!

Great company, good food & stimulating conversation — delighted to join Ambassadors @TiborPNagyJr & @RBrigety, MG Jamie Shawley & other #USA🇺🇲 friends as we gathered last night with our #UK🇬🇧 colleague Sir @GavinWilliamson to discuss our shared appreciation of #Somaliland.

Touching base with a friend of Somaliland @JMeservey, Senior Fellow, Hudson Institute, and leading Africa and ME analyst.

#BREAKING Jubaland latest federal state to dismiss Mogadishu's powers to overwrite or annul diplomatic, economic deals with UAE. Last evening, Puntland rejected move by Mogadishu to abrogate Bosaso port deal with DP World, other economic and aviation links with Gulf state. So who does Mogadishu speak for really, if 80% of Somalia is saying government in Mogadishu is overstepping its mandate?

On Wed at 12:00, the Somaliland community & its allies will gather at Downing Street in solidarity with the people of Somaliland to demand self-determination for their people and re-recognition by the UK of the former British protectorate of Somaliland. Pls join them if you can🙏

If Villa Somalia is capable of strategic thinking it would consider extending Somalia's full recognition to Somaliland. Here are some of the benefits of Somalia recognising Somaliland.

Great case in today’s @washingtonpost by the @HudsonInstitute’s @JMeservey for #USA🇺🇸 recognition #Somaliland’s de facto sovereign independence because it would be “recognizing reality, which is a necessary foundation on which to build effective policy.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

The Government of the Republic of Somaliland categorically rejects Somalia’s false claims over Berbera. Somalia has no jurisdiction, authority, or standing over Somaliland territory or agreements. All Somaliland–UAE agreements remain lawful and binding.

Thanks @JMeservey. Fabulous.

Recognizing Somaliland Would Be in the United Kingdom’s Interest - An interesting article by Mohamed Osman, A senior physician and public health specialist. blogs.timesofisrael.com/recognizing-so…

Finally the US is suspending all assistance to Mogadishu's inept and corrupt regime; this is years overdue. Has there been any positive return on the $ Billions America has provided to Somalia? Time for Mogadishu's elites to take care of their own affairs! aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/8/…

There is only a cartel network running Mogadishu with the international legitimacy of being a government. More concerning is where this illegally robbed food aid goes and the international acceptance that this cartel network is a government & a member of the UN Security Council.

In response to President @Abdirahmanirro's appeal in November 2025 for urgent drought relief, the Government of Taiwan provides 288 metric tons of rice valued 500,000 USD to tackle the recent drought challenges. It is estimated about 10,000 families are benefited. 1/

It's a great privilege to conduct the first official diplomatic visit to Somaliland, at the invitation of President @Abdirahmanirro. The visit is also a message: We are determined to vigorously advance relations between Israel and Somaliland. Today, we held substantive discussions with the President and senior members of his government on the full range of our relations. The mutual recognition and establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries are not directed against anyone. Our shared objective is to promote the mutual benefit of both nations and countries. In Hargeisa, I made it clear: Only Israel will decide whom it recognizes and with whom it maintains diplomatic relations. The President of Somaliland informed me that he has accepted @IsraeliPM Netanyahu’s invitation and will pay an official visit to Israel.

Foregone conclusion. Nobody determines nor dictates whom the Republic of Somaliland and the State of Israel have diplomatic relations with. Anyone skeptical? Welcome, Mr. Minister @gidonsaar, to Hargeisa—the most adorable city in the Northern Hemisphere.

Hassan Sheikh Mohamud cannot even protect himself and the only place he can claim to be in charge of - Mogadishu's "green zone". His threats of war against Somaliland are utterly meaningless. An enclave state with a broken army cannot mount a war on a sovereign state with a functioning army. Even Turkey, the only real protector of HSM, will not go that far. If Turkey, Qatar and other hostile powers gang up militarily against Somaliland they will be in direct conflict with Israel. And that is a different ballgame altogether. Israel offered Somaliland recognition and will no doubt already have in place a robust security and defensive military shield to protect Somaliland from hostile actions.

Host Cliff May is joined by Bashir Goth, Somaliland’s representative to the United States, and Middle East analyst Michael Rubin to discuss why Israel’s recognition of reality matters, and why some countries in the West pretend this nation doesn’t exist. youtu.be/Zu4MfUY1Ri4

The President of the Republic of Somaliland holds official talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India. Recognition of Somaliland by the world’s largest democracy is imminent.
