Excellent piece highlighting Somaliland’s long-standing stability, institutional development, and strategic importance. It makes a strong case for full re-recognition based on governance performance, regional security value, and its role in promoting stability in the Horn of Africa.

The discussion has clearly evolved. The status of the recognized Republic of Somaliland is no longer the central question. The focus is now shifting toward diplomatic engagement and the establishment of embassies, a sovereign decision guided by our national interest.
English
Our interest comes first, always, as others pursue theirs - the Republic of Somaliland’s decisions are guided by its national interest, strategic future, and the aspirations of its people. Partnerships are built on mutual respect, sovereignty, and shared benefit.

That means we have to fight harder."

אני מברך את ידידי נשיא סומלילנד אבדירחמן מוחמד עבדילאהי @Abdirahmanirro על החלטתו החשובה להקים את שגרירות סומלילנד בירושלים, בירתנו הנצחית.
פתיחת השגרירות בירושלים תהיה צעד משמעותי נוסף בהידוק היחסים בין המדינות והעמים. נפעל ביחד לביצוע ההחלטה בקרוב ב״ה.
בכך תהפוך שגרירות סומלילנד לשגרירות השמינית בירושלים.
מכובדי הנשיא, מצפים לארח אותך בקרוב בירושלים - בירתנו הנצחית!

I am pleased to announce that the Republic of Somaliland’s Embassy will be located in Jerusalem - the Embassy will be opened soon, while Israel will also establish its Embassy in Hargeisa, reflecting growing friendship, mutual respect, and strategic cooperation between our two peoples.

Few people have promoted Somaliland the way Ambassador Iqbal did, including through his books. He coined the phrase “Africa’s best-kept secret” to describe Somaliland. A great brother and steadfast supporter of Somaliland, he is deeply missed as the nation marks the 35th anniversary of the restoration of its independence.

A re-recognised Somaliland is a strategic, political and economic win for the free world & its allies!
Those who recognise Somaliland early will secure a trusted ally before the rest of the world catches up.
Thank you @i24NEWS_EN & @Nicole_Zedeck

Thank you, @MarkusWiechel, for your continued support for the Somaliland cause. Sweden has long been a true friend of the Republic of Somaliland in development, partnership, and progress.

Congratulations to Frank Garcia on his confirmation as @StateDept Assistant Secretary for African Affairs – a critical role in shaping U.S. engagement on the continent. We, in Somaliland, look forward to working with him on our shared commitment to counterterrorism, economic development, maritime security, and democratic governance.

A Very happy 35th Birthday to Somaliland! "The Little Country that Can" has so much to be proud of, and it's been a momentous year with its first formal international recognition (with many more to come)! A model nation with accomplishments others envy.

I was delighted to receive the first-ever Ambassador of Somaliland to Israel, Mohamed Hagi, who presented his diplomatic credentials this morning. Ambassador Hagi was kind enough to praise our orchestra, who played the national anthem of Somaliland for the first time ever in Israel. This important new partnership between our nations will bring a shared future of cooperation in a range of fields to the benefit of both our peoples and the entire region.
