Grateful for @SenTedCruz continued recognition of Somaliland's contributions to regional security at today's @SenateForeign hearing. As a committed partner in maritime security and counterterrorism, we look forward to expanded cooperation with the United States in advancing our shared interests in the Horn of Africa.

At today’s @SenateForeign Africa Subcommittee hearing with @AsstSecStateAF SBO Nicholas Checker, Chair @SenTedCruz spoke about “how important #Somaliland is for #USA🇺🇲 national security” as a “capable and willing partner" in a region where #China🇨🇳 “is aggressively expanding.”

Strong recognition from Capitol Hill on Somaliland’s role as a geostrategic partner advancing U.S. interests during Subcommittee on Africa and Global Health Policy hearing today on the U.S Approach to Counterterrorism in Africa. “This is the kind of partner we should be encouraging." — @SenTedCruz on Somaliland at today's @SenateForeign subcommittee hearing. Grateful to a true friend of Somaliland for making the case for deeper U.S.-Somaliland cooperation in the Horn of Africa.

A well deserved step into purpose and impact so proud of you love 👏🏽❤️😘

Some of the most powerful U.S. politicians and policymakers are now listening to #Somaliland’s case in ways they weren’t before.

At #KaabeSchools, students are encouraged to dream and speak confidently about who they want to become from an early age! What did you dream of becoming when you were a child?

Fierce mind. Beautiful soul. Unmatched heart. My bestie, my favorite Somalilander 👑💚🤍❤️ A woman whose grace runs as deep as her strength inside and out! Forever proud of you, always and in all ways my love ❤️

Following a recent visit to the Netherlands, the Director of the Diaspora Department @SldiasporaGN highlighted Somaliland’s strong potential particularly in tourism, culture, and investment.

#Somaliland 🖤

Perks of being the world's newly recognised country.✨ Every eye is on President Irro now.

Last night in Davos, on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum, i met with the President of the State of Israel, @Isaac_Herzog at a high-level dinner. Our discussions focused on strengthening and advancing bilateral relations between the Republic of Somaliland and the State of Israel. I also met @EricTrump , an influential global figure and son of the President of the United States, as well as other senior global political figures and international leaders.

Kanaxoo nafta waa 🔥🔥🔥 #Davos26 #Israel 🤝🏽 #Somaliland #America 🤝🏽 #Somaliland Doors are opening. Power is shifting. The president of Somaliland held high-level meetings with Eric Trump, the president of Israel, and top heads of state. Big moves ahead. The HoA is changing and Somaliland is taking its rightful place.

To my fellow citizens of the Republic of Somaliland, home & abroad, I extend my sincere greetings and appreciation, and convey my best wishes for enduring peace, stability, and prosperity.

meforum.org/mef-observer/w… "Editor’s note: On March 27, 2006, Bashir Goth, then a Somalilander journalist in Abu Dhabi, published an article in The Sudan Tribune as the Arab League prepared to meet in Khartoum. Today, Goth is the representative of Somaliland to the United States. The article is important both in the consistency of the case for Somaliland, but also in its review of history and long-buried documents such as the 2005 African Union fact-finding mission that supported the legal basis for Somaliland’s independence. The Middle East Forum Observer reprints an edited version of Goth’s work with his permission."

International recognition has been the focus of Somaliland's foreign policy for 35 years. Hargeisa has built a more functional state than some recognized countries. The US should follow Israel's lead and recognize Somaliland; it is simply recognizing reality, @JMeservey argues. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

Something I tried to articulate in my latest op-ed on Somaliland, and which originally brought me around to its cause, is that those opposed to recognizing its independence have an inescapable dilemma: Somaliland IS independent in all but the technical sense. Because of that, its claim to independence won't fade. Having reality on its side is SL's long-term advantage, while fighting reality is exhausting and unending.

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/…

⁦@HudsonInstitute⁩ Africa Director ⁦@JMeservey⁩ writes an excellent justification for U.S. to recognize Somaliland in today’s ⁦@washingtonpost⁩ Now that Israel has taken first step, time for others to join, especially America! washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

Joshua Meservey presents a strong argument in this article that Somalia’s objections rest on a long-defunct fiction of unity, that the AU itself acknowledged Somaliland’s case as historically unique and self-justified in 2005, and that recognition would not violate colonial-era borders.

Mogadishu cannot cancel what it does not control. Berbera is in Somaliland. Somaliland’s agreements with the UAE are lawful, binding, and already delivering results in trade, infrastructure, jobs and regional stability. At a time when the US government has paused assistance to Somalia because of fraud and the Treasury Department has announced investigations and increased scrutiny of remittance flows to Somalia, attacking the UAE, the single most important channel for trade and funds reaching Somalia, is both reckless and irresponsible. Somaliland will continue building partnerships grounded in international law and mutual respect. Berbera will keep growing because facts beat fiction
