Juba (Caasimada Online) – Dowladda Koonfurta Suudaan ayaa ku dhawaaqday inay garab taagan tahay midnimada iyo madax-bannaanida dhuleed ee Jamhuuriyadda Federaalka Soomaaliya. Koonfurta Suudaan ayaa ayiday mowqifyada ay qaateen Midowga Afrika iyo urur-goboleedka IGAD, kuwaas oo si adag uga horyimid xadgudub kasta oo lagu kala goynayo Soomaaliya. Bayaan kasoo baxay Wasaaradda Arrimaha Dibadda ee Koonfurta Suudaan ayaa lagu caddeeyay in dalkaasi uu si buuxda ula jaanqaadayo go’aannada Midowga Afrika iyo IGAD ee ku saabsan xaaladda Soomaaliya. Qoraalka ayaa xusay in dowladda Koonfurta Suudaan ay mar kale adkaynayso ballanqaadkeeda ku aaddan dhowrista midnimada iyo wadajirka dhuleed ee Soomaaliya, iyadoo la tixraacayo xuduudaheeda caalamku aqoonsan yahay. Sidoo kale, bayaanku wuxuu tilmaamay in mowqifkan uu waafaqsan yahay axdiyada iyo heshiisyada heer gobol iyo heer caalami, gaar ahaan Axdiga Aasaaska Midowga Afrika iyo xeerarka caalamiga ah. Bayaankan ayaa imanaya xilli ay si isa soo taraysa u kordhayaan falcelinta iyo mowqifyada dalalka gobolka iyo kuwa caalamka ee la xiriira arrinta Somaliland iyo doodaha ka dhashay aqoonsiga ay sheegtay inay ka heshay Israa’iil. Israa’iil ayaa 26-kii Diseembar 2025 ku dhawaaqday inay Somaliland u aqoonsatay “dowlad madax-bannaan oo leh qarannimo buuxda,” iyadoo xiriir diblomaasiyadeed la samaysatay. Arrintan ayaa Israa’iil ka dhigtay dalkii ugu horreeyay ee tallaabadan qaada tan iyo markii Somaliland ay ku dhawaaqday gooni-isu-taag sannadkii 1991-kii. Ra’iisul Wasaaraha Israa’iil, Benjamin Netanyahu, ayaa aqoonsigan ku tilmaamay tallaabo diblomaasiyadeed oo horumar leh, wuxuuna ku xidhay qorshaha ballaaran ee caadiyeynta xiriirka gobolka ee loo yaqaan Abraham Accords.

Press Briefing with Jeremy Lewin, Acting Under Secretary of State for Foreign Assistance, Humanitarian Affairs, and Religious Freedom on Direct Humanitarian Assistance for the Cuban people, especially following Hurricane Melissa. Special Briefing Jeremy P. Lewin, Senior Official Under Secretary for Foreign Assistance, Humanitarian Affairs, and Religious Freedom January 15, 2026 Audio Player 00:00 00:00 MODERATOR: Hello. I am Natalia Molano, director of the U.S. Department of State’s Miami Media Hub. This is an on-the-record press briefing in English with simultaneous interpretation in Spanish. Please find the globe icon on the lower-left corner of your screen to select your language. (In Spanish.) We are privileged to have Jeremy P. Lewin, Acting Under Secretary of State for Foreign Assistance, Humanitarian Affairs, and Religious Freedom, to discuss the first in a series of direct humanitarian shipments to Cuba as part of the $3 million of assistance for disasters for the Cuban people committed by the Trump Administration, especially following Hurricane Melissa. We will begin this hub call with opening remarks, and then I will moderate questions from journalists. Acting Under Secretary Lewin, you may begin your remarks. MR LEWIN: Thank you, and thank you, everyone, for being here. I look forward to the questions. Just a few brief points to emphasize at the top. Ambassador Hammer and I did a walkthrough yesterday of the facility with the president of Catholic Relief Services. First of all, just a huge thank you to the church and to Caritas Cuba. They are taking a tremendous risk. The regime has prevented attempts to distribute aid in the past. We are grateful for the opportunity and the opening here to do it. Sadly, I think it reflects the fact that the situation in Cuba is very dire from a humanitarian perspective. And we mentioned the hurricane, but the hurricane is just a small part of what unfortunately is a growing humanitarian crisis, and it’s a manmade humanitarian crisis because of the regime’s incompetence, its repression. And as Secretary Rubio has said and the President has said, Cuba really has the choice – they have a choice. They can do what they’ve done for the last 60 years and focus on repression and on stealing from their own people and corruption, or they can choose to take care of their people and build a better and freer island. And that choice is very stark right now with what we’re doing. So I mean, we’re providing – and we went through the walkthrough yesterday – humanitarian supplies. And the Cuban Government has a choice. They can interfere with and steal and divert those supplies – and we will be watching, and if they do that and – then they’ll be accountable to their own people, who are suffering, and they’ll be accountable to us. As Secretary Rubio said after the tremendously successful operation to capture the narcoterrorist Maduro and his wife, don’t play games with this President. And when President Trump says that he is going to be delivering and when Secretary Rubio says we are going to be delivering aid directly to the Cuban people, we expect that the Cuban Government will let that happen, that they won’t politicize it, that they won’t interfere with it. And that’s just incredibly important to emphasize at the outset. This is part of setting up a new channel. We’ve pledged an initial $3 million, but if this works –as I said earlier, the humanitarian situation in Cuba remains dire, and we look forward to providing additional support if we’re able to get this channel up and running. And so just one last thing, just to emphasize our response to Hurricane Melissa was incredibly robust across the Caribbean region, particularly in more permissive environments. So I visited Jamaica right after the hurricane, met with our Department of War assets. Those folks airlifted nearly a million pounds of supplies. It was a critical lifeline to folks that were affected by the hurricane in Jamaica. We pledged nearly $40 million and delivered hundreds of thousands of families with critical supplies – shelter, food, sanitation; visited a Samaritan’s Purse hospital they – a hospital on a plane, which is something – we’re expanding our work with Samaritan’s Purse to help them respond to disasters, particularly in our hemisphere. So our commitment to Cuba is ironclad, and to the Cuban people, not to the Cuban regime. As the Secretary has said and the President has said, nothing will ever – from this government – will ever go to the Cuban regime. So none of this aid, none of this assistance will benefit – indirectly, directly – the Cuban regime. We’ve made very, very, very sure that that’s the case. And again, if they steal or divert any of this that’s intended for the Cuban people, then we will be watching and we will hold them accountable. And again, they will be accountable to the people. But our commitment to the broader region is ironclad as well. This is our hemisphere. And as the President said after the operation to capture Maduro, American dominance in our hemisphere will not be questioned ever again. And that’s partly what happened in Venezuela, dealing with a rogue narcoterrorist state. But it’s also building alliances and it’s also being a partner in times of need. And so after the hurricane in our region and being here in Miami, we all deal with hurricane season every year. The United States will be there and we’re preparing for next hurricane season and the hurricane season beyond that to continue to mount really robust and fulsome responses when these humanitarian crises happen. MODERATOR: Thank you very much. We will begin taking questions from journalists. Today’s briefing is on the record, attributable to Jeremy P. Lewin, Acting Under Secretary of State for Foreign Assistance, Humanitarian Affairs, and Religious Freedom. We will now start with a question from Frances Robles from The New York Times. QUESTION: Good morning. I guess I’m confused. Is there – is there a contradiction between cutting off the Venezuelan aid – the Venezuelan oil, which is bound to cause a humanitarian crisis, and then at the same time sending a relatively modest package of aid? I also wasn’t clear on did the U.S. Government ask the Cuban Government if it wants this aid or has – have those conversations not taken place? MR LEWIN: So first of all, I think there’s no contradiction, because what you’re describing, the Venezuelan – the proceeds, the illegitimate proceeds, the Venezuelan oil was not aid. That was payment for – I mean, the Secretary said this. When we went and got Maduro from Miraflores, who did we find guarding him? Cuban security agents. I mean, Cuba had basically colonized Venezuela. Venezuela, that illegitimate dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro, had become a client state of Cuba. And so those oil shipments, those were not aid to the Cuban people. And as evidenced by the humanitarian situation in Cuba over the last few years, they were not benefiting the people of Cuba. What was happening was the Cuban regime was taking illegitimate profits from the narcoterrorists. And so that – that’s not something that benefits the Cuban people at all. What we are delivering is aid that will directly benefit the people that the church is going to give directly to people in need. And we – as you point out, we’re starting with the amount that we’re able to get in with the – under the current circumstances. We didn’t ask the regime if they wanted aid, because it’s not their aid. They’re in no position to take care of their people. They’re in no position to make decisions about this. The Catholic Church and – and we’re very grateful for their leadership in this – put out a public letter stating that they would be open to this. And so far the regime has not interfered and has given them, the Catholic Church, the relevant protections to do – permissions to do this. But the Secretary and President have been very, very clear. The Cuban regime has been in league with our ally – our adversaries, from Cuba to Russia to Iran, has colonized Venezuela and been part of the narcoterrorist operation that was going on there. And no U.S. assistance will go to that regime. And ultimately, the regime has to make a choice to step down or to better provide for its people. But what we’re doing here today is making sure that even if they cannot, we have channels, and we’re going to continue to try to explore channels that we can provide aid directly to the people. QUESTION: I guess what I’m getting at, though, is: Is cutting off Venezuelan oil ultimately going to trigger a humanitarian crisis in Cuba? MR LEWIN: Again, to your point, the oil – to the earlier point, the oil was not benefitting the Cuban people. The oil was being taken by the corrupt and illegitimate regime as a protection payment for protecting the narcoterrorists in Venezuela. That was not something that was helping the Cuban people. And the humanitarian crisis that is going on in Cuba has been going on for many years now, and it’s going on because the illegitimate regime that cannot provide for its own people and it cannot provide an economic system that works for them. And so that’s the cause of the humanitarian crisis in Cuba, full stop. And the Secretary and President have been very clear that that needs to stop. MODERATOR: Thank you. We will now go to Jordi Zamora from Excelsior. QUESTION: Oh, hello? MODERATOR: Yes, go ahead. QUESTION: Oh, I was wondering why did it take so long for the aid to be sent. I mean, it’s almost three months – two, three months after the hurricane. Did it take long because you were negotiating with the authorities somehow? And — MR LEWIN: So — QUESTION: Yeah. MR LEWIN: So as I pointed out, our broader response to Hurricane Melissa began before the hurricane even hit landfall in the Caribbean region. And we were – immediately after the storms left, we were on the ground in Jamaica, in Haiti, in many other places delivering assistance. The situation in Cuba is obviously more complicated politically. We – the Church is the one who is taking the lead in this. Obviously, the United States isn’t – cannot operate the assistance architecture that we normally would in Cuba, given the political tensions there and the restrictions that the regime places. So the timing of this has to do with the Church getting the right mechanism and permissions. I would say we were not talking to the regime. The Church has been talking to the regime to make sure that they have the adequate permissions to deliver the assistance. But once more, we view this as part of a broader humanitarian response to Cuba. I mean, the hurricane – although it caused certainly devastation – it’s only one part, again, of what’s really a tragic and broad humanitarian crisis in Cuba – disease, starvation, deprivation – that’s the fault of regime’s incompetence and the failing system there. And so we look at this as the first – the beginning of what we hope will be a much broader ability to deliver assistance directly to the Cuban people. MODERATOR: Thank you. And we will now go over to Simon Lewis from Reuters. QUESTION: Hi. Can you hear me, Jeremy? MODERATOR: Go ahead. QUESTION: Hi. Thank you. MR LEWIN: Yeah. QUESTION: Yeah, I – wanted to kind of come back to – you mentioned the timing, the previous question on the timing. This comes, obviously, with the kind of cutting off of these oil shipments. Could you kind of clarify whether – and I think the Cuban Government has already responded to this, kind of saying this is opportunistic. And so I’m wondering if you can clarify. Do you see this – do you see this aid as contradictory or part of the broader administration policy, which seems to be to increase pressure on the Cuban regime? And how does doing this potentially serve that end? MR LEWIN: Why – I would go back to what I said at the beginning. This is certainly part of the Secretary and President’s strategy, which is to say we have – our support for the Cuban people is absolute. But the regime is the one that’s preventing them from living their lives and from having the things that they need to live safely and comfortably. And so part of this is sort of making that distinction very, very clear and also giving the regime a choice. As I said at the beginning, they have a choice. They can either let us help the Cuban people directly, or they can choose to interfere with these aid shipments. And as you pointed out, they’re back to their old ways with their propaganda and their lies and their diversions. But ultimately, the Cuban people see this for what it is. They will see boxes of food, real food. We went through yesterday and saw some of the boxes that’s going to be showing up, and it’s going to be distributed by people that they trust in their communities – the Church that has the reach, with more than a thousand pastors across the country – and they’re going to have a choice. The regime can take food from the arms of starving families, and they’re going to be accountable to their own people. They’re going to be accountable to us, and the whole world is going to see their cruelty for what it is. So certainly, it’s part of the overall strategy. Again, the President and Secretary keep coming back to this: Cuba has a choice. I mean, for a long time they’ve been hanging on through the colonization of Venezuela and the illicit proceeds of that – of the oil that they were stealing from the Venezuelan people; from their forced labor practices with these doctors that they send all around the world and imprison, take their passport, steal all the money that governments are paying, foreign governments are paying for these medical services. So there are all these sort of sordid ways that the Cuban Government has been able to sustain itself – not the Cuban people, which they’ve utterly failed, but they’ve been able to sustain themselves through all these corrupt practices. But that’s all done under President Trump. I mean, we’ve made exactly clear what’s going to happen, particularly in our hemisphere. And certainly, the operation to capture Maduro and what’s going on in Venezuela should make clear to the Cuban regime and every other despot around the world that you don’t play games with President Trump, that that era of weakness and disorder and strife and foreign interference in our hemisphere is done. And so the Cuban regime, as the President has said – they’re at a difficult – and the right thing to do is for them to leave and let the Cuban people be free. We don’t have any illusions that they’re going to do that, but if they don’t do that, then we’re going to continue to try to find ways to protect and support the Cuban people directly. And yes, if that puts pressure on the regime, rightfully so, because who is responsible for the humanitarian crisis in Cuba? It’s the Cuban regime and the people who’ve stolen the resources of that island and held it down for 60 years. MODERATOR: Thank you. We will now go to Yvette Lewis from Telemundo 51. QUESTION: Yeah. Hi. Good morning. How is this aid arriving there? What is the company sending out that plane? Who owns it? Also, has this – any aid has already been arriving before? MR LEWIN: Yeah. So with the – the charter flights are arranged by a State Department contractor in coordination with the Catholic Church, and then – so they arrived – the first one arrived in Holguín, and they’re going to arrive in a few of the other provinces. And then there’s also ship-based transfer of assistance. I think the Church has worked hard to make sure that they have the right points where the aid arrives so that they can distribute it efficiently and accountably within the communities. So we’ve worked with them on that, and as I pointed out, they had to find ways to get around and sort of receive the permissions from the Cuban Government. We’re procuring all of the commodities outside of Cuba, and as you saw yesterday, we are delivering the assistance directly, prepackaged and everything. So again, that reduces the opportunity for the Cuban regime to profit off of or steal any of this assistance. They would have to be literally ripping boxes of food out of families’ hands, and I wouldn’t put that below this regime, but that – so that (inaudible) and that’s how we expect to be able to deliver a lot more assistance in the coming weeks. MODERATOR: Thank you. I’d like to now call on Andres Fidanza from El Observador. QUESTION: Hi. Thank you very much for doing this. Do you have any projections regarding when the Cuban regime may fall, as President Trump suggested? MR LEWIN: We don’t know what (inaudible). I would not want to get ahead of the President and Secretary on those types of issues. Just say it for myself, one hopes that Cuba can be free as soon as possible. MODERATOR: Jeremy, your audio was getting a bit spotty. Would you mind repeating your answer, please? Thank you. For the transcript. MR LEWIN: I certainly wouldn’t want to get ahead of the President and the Secretary on those very significant questions. But I – again, I would just say again for myself we hope that Cuba can be free as soon as possible. MODERATOR: All right. Thank you. I will now call on Veronica Rosario from Diario Libre. QUESTION: (In Spanish.) MR LEWIN: Thank you. It’s a great question. So when Hurricane Melissa hit we were able to deploy a team to Dominican Republic and we were able to mobilize our relationships with partners to deliver several million dollars’ worth of assistance right in the immediate aftermath of the hurricane. We have a close relationship with the Dominican government. I was actually at SOUTHCOM yesterday to talk about how we can build up our ability to train and equip partner governments and civil society to respond to disaster, disaster resilience programs, particularly in the Western Hemisphere. So as we look forward to hurricane season this coming year, I expect that we’re going to have a number of additional programs to announce with governments, including hopefully the Dominican government. We also are signing new response contractors with – contracts with (inaudible) that have big response networks so that we can better leverage their assets in the wake of natural disasters and help them with steady state as well. So again, as the President said, in our national security strategy layout, the Western Hemisphere is a huge focus of this administration’s foreign policy and there’s a lot of discussion about what we’re doing to reassert American dominance in our hemisphere from a security perspective, but it’s every bit as important that we forge valuable security and economic partnerships, that we build markets together, and also that we help our allies in times of need and help them be prepared for disasters. So it’s absolutely something we are looking at. There have been a number of independent analyses of the response that we were able to mount to Hurricane Melissa, and even though that was a very late-breaking hurricane that changed its path, all the independent analysis – I’d encourage you to go look at one from the Council of Foreign Relations; talked about how this was a – I think they called it a textbook surge of humanitarian assistance that happened immediately after the hurricane in all of the environments – other than Cuba – where we have governments like the Dominican government that are close allies and allow us in and allow American aid workers in immediately. MODERATOR: Thank you. Now we’re going to the last two questions. We have a question from a Brazilian outlet, from Reinaldo Galhardo from Agencia SNEWS Sorocaba. QUESTION: Thank you very much. I am journalist in – I am journalist in Sorocaba city, Sao Paulo state, Brazil. It’s a pleasure to talk with you. Will all the difficult in helping Cuba by overcome? MODERATOR: Reinaldo, could you please repeat your question one more time? It was not easy to understand. QUESTION: Okay. Will all the difficult in helping Cuba by overcome? MODERATOR: What are the difficulties in helping Cuba, and the last part was? QUESTION: Yes, (inaudible). MODERATOR: Okay. What are the difficulties in helping Cuba? MR LEWIN: I mean, again, the most difficult challenge is the regime. As I was just saying, in all of these other environments where we have governments – I mean, I was meeting the prime minister of Jamacia, the Dominican, I mean, a bunch of these other countries where we’ve got good relationships with the government and they’re invested in helping their own people succeed and recover, unlike the Cuban regime; then we’re able to surge in supplies immediately, we’re able to start building infrastructure that helps people, we’re able to work with civil authorities.  None of that is possible in Cuba, because the Cuban regime, again, is committed more to repression and insularity than it is to the welfare of the Cuban people, right?  And they’re more interested in spying on people and locking them up in jail for civil protests and things like that.  So that’s the biggest challenge.  It’s always been the challenge in Cuba.  I mean, again, it’s tragic like this, and there’s been one problem in Cuba for half a century, and it’s been the Castro regime, and that’s the biggest challenge in reaching people now. I mean, if it were up to us, if there was no regime, we’d be talking about tens, hundreds of millions of dollars of assistance – billions and billions of dollars of investment and development and opportunity. And really, that’s what lies on the other side of the regime for the Cuban people. I mean, I – the Cuban regime will not be able to continue abusing its people for much longer. And when it inevitably does collapse, we will be ready to surge resources. And not just U.S. Government resources; I know the diaspora in Miami, elsewhere, are eager to reinvest, to redevelop, to repair Cuba when that time comes. MODERATOR: Thank you. And the last question I will read from the Q&A. This is from Dánica Coto, Caribbean correspondent for the Associated Press. And the journalist is seeking comment in response to the statement from the foreign minister of Cuba, Bruno Rodríguez, and she quotes it: “The U.S. Government is exploiting what appears to be a humanitarian gesture for opportunistic and politically manipulative purposes. As a matter of principle, Cuba does not oppose assistance from governments or organizations, provided it benefits the people and the needs of those affected are not used for political gain under the guise of humanitarian aid.” That’s the end of the question. MR LEWIN: Yeah, I think it’s very clear – we took a number of journalists to see exactly what we’re delivering, in coordination with the Catholic Church; there’s nothing political about cans of tuna and rice and beans and pasta. And that is humanitarian aid, and it’s at its core – the ones who are doing the politicization are the regime, who want to misdirect and lie. And of course they do, because the truth lays bear that they are unable to provide for their own people, and that they’re unable to provide for their own people because the regime is stealing their resources and holding them down. So it’s no wonder that they lie and they divert about these things, but what we’re doing is – is clear for everyone to see, and that’s why we’re very grateful for the church’s leadership and their legitimacy in doing this. We have – we have no agenda in delivering boxes of food to the people. The President and the Secretary care deeply about the people of Cuba, understanding how long they’ve suffered. And again, if – if it’s true that the regime welcomes humanitarian aid, then I’d like to donate a lot more. And we’ll see whether they are willing to let us. MODERATOR: Thank you so much. That concludes today’s briefing. Thank you for your participation. There will be an English audio recording available online and also a transcript in English, translation into Spanish as well, of this hub call, all on state.gov. If you have any questions, you may contact the Miami media hub at the email miamihub@state.gov. Thank you, and goodbye. Qaran News

After Israel’s recognition of Somaliland, what comes next? In a historic move, Israel has officially recognized the Republic of Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state. Preceded only by Taiwan, Israel is the first United Nations member to recognize Somaliland after more than three decades of international impasse. Announced on December 26, the recognition was formalized through a joint declaration signed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdallah. In parallel, Somaliland pledged to join the Abraham Accords, aligning itself with Washington’s regional normalization framework. Somaliland’s leaders hailed Israel’s decision as “historic,” celebrating it as long-awaited validation of de facto statehood, with the Israeli flag projected in Somaliland’s capital, Hargeisa. The decision builds on Somaliland’s record of relative stability and functioning democratic institutions, factors that have long differentiated it within a volatile region. However, beyond its symbolism, the significance of recognition will be shaped by its implementation. How Israel translates this decision into security, economic, and diplomatic engagement, while managing regional sensitivities and coordinating with key partners, particularly the United States and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), will determine whether recognition evolves into a durable framework for regional cooperation.

Thousands of people gathered in the capital Hargeisa on Thursday afternoon, waving flags and chanting pro-UAE slogans in a mass rally expressing strong public support for the United Arab Emiratesand its deepening partnership with the Republic of Somaliland. The demonstration began at around 4:00 p.m. local time and continued through the evening until 9:00 p.m., according to witnesses, with crowds filling major streets and public spaces across the city. “The UAE is our strongest partner and has proven it through real investment,” said Mohamed Ahmed, one of the demonstrators. “This turnout shows how much the people value that relationship.” Somaliland officials say the UAE is the country’s largest foreign investor, backing major infrastructure projects including Berbera Port and the Berbera–Wajaale corridor, which links the Red Sea coast to Ethiopia and positions Somaliland as an emerging logistics and trade hub in the Horn of Africa. As the rally continued into the evening, Somaliland’s National Museum was illuminated with the UAE flag, a symbolic gesture widely shared on social media and described by officials as reflecting the strength of bilateral ties. “This partnership is built on trust, long-term vision, and mutual benefit,” a senior Somaliland government official said. “The UAE’s role in our development is visible on the ground.” 1 of 36 The rally also carried a clear political message following Somalia’s announcement earlier this week that it had withdrawn from defence and security cooperation agreements with the UAE. Somalia’s cabinet said it had annulled all existing bilateral defence and security arrangements and cancelled wider agreements linked to ports including Berbera, Bosaso, and Kismayo. The Government of the Republic of Somaliland has firmly rejected Somalia’s attempts to assert authority over Berbera, declaring the claims legally void and politically meaningless. Somaliland officials say Somalia has never exercised governance or sovereignty over Berbera or any part of Somaliland’s territory, and therefore has no legal authority to cancel agreements entered into by Somaliland. Officials in Hargeisa stressed that Somaliland’s partnerships, including those with the UAE, are based on effective territorial control, mutual consent, and international commercial law, and remain fully valid and binding. After more than three decades of peaceful self-governance, constitutional order, and democratic practice, Somaliland has recently received its first formal international recognition as a sovereign and independent state, following recognition by Israel, though it still lacks broad international recognition. The demonstration reflected strong public backing for the deepening Somaliland–UAE partnership, with crowds openly calling on the UAE to become the next country to recognise the Republic of Somaliland. “We are calling on the UAE to stand with the will of the Somaliland people,” said rally organiser Hassan Ali. “Recognition would strengthen stability, democracy, and cooperation in the region.” Somaliland officials say the Government of the Republic of Somaliland remains firmly committed to peace, democratic governance, and regional stability, positioning Somaliland as a reliable partner that contributes positively to security, development, and international cooperation across the Horn of Africa and beyond.

Somaliland president hails Israel’s recognition, cites shared history and security ties 15 January, 2026 Image Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi Irro said Israel’s decision to recognize Somaliland marked a historic breakthrough for the territory’s long quest for international legitimacy, citing shared history, security cooperation and regional strategic interests. In an opinion article published by The Wall Street Journal, Irro wrote that “Israel made history on Dec. 26 by recognizing my country,” calling the move a “critical step toward securing our rightful place in the international community.” Somaliland, which has operated as a de facto state for more than 30 years with its own government, currency and security forces, has long sought international recognition but remains officially considered part of Somalia by the United Nations and most governments. Irro said Israel’s recognition was rooted not only in present-day strategic interests but also in what he described as a “moral bond forged during Somaliland’s darkest chapter”. He accused Barre’s regime of carrying out a campaign of mass violence against Somaliland’s population, writing that “more than 200,000 civilians were killed” and that 90% of Hargeisa, the capital, was destroyed — a period he referred to as the “Hargeisa Holocaust.” “While much of the world remained silent, Israel raised the alarm at the United Nations in May 1990,” Irro wrote, saying Israel drew attention to what he described as systematic persecution of Somalilanders. Irro framed the renewed relationship in strategic terms, pointing to Somaliland’s location along the Gulf of Aden, one of the world’s busiest maritime corridors. “We control 460 miles of coastline along the Gulf of Aden, through which about 30% of all container ships pass,” he wrote, adding that Somaliland has maintained stability while Somalia continues to battle the Al-Qaeda-linked militant group Al-Shabaab. He said Somaliland’s U.K.-trained coast guard has kept its waters free of piracy and that these capabilities align with “Israeli and broader Western security interests.” The president also highlighted economic cooperation, citing a $442 million investment by Dubai-based DP World to modernize the Port of Berbera, and said Israeli trade and technical partnerships could support growth in agriculture, technology and maritime services. For Irro, Israel’s recognition could help unlock broader international acceptance, particularly in Africa. He pointed to a 2005 African Union fact-finding mission that concluded Somaliland’s case should be assessed “from an objective historical viewpoint and a moral angle” rather than dismissed over fears of encouraging separatism elsewhere on the continent. “One of the proudest moments of my presidency will undoubtedly be listening to Somaliland’s national anthem as we inaugurate our first official embassy, in Israel,” Irro wrote. While acknowledging that wider recognition may take time, he suggested Israel’s move could encourage others to follow. “Many countries in Africa and beyond have long sympathized with the moral and legal foundations of Somaliland’s case and have been waiting for a first mover,” he wrote. “Now, Israel has taken this bold step.” Israel was the first country to officially recognize Somaliland, a move that triggered widespread diplomatic shockwaves. Somaliland celebrated the recognition as a significant diplomatic breakthrough, insisting that it would open new doors in its long-standing quest for international legitimacy. However, the recognition was not without controversy. Somalia denounced the move as “illegal,” accusing Israel of violating international law and undermining Somalia’s sovereignty. The Somalia’s president Hassan Sheikh Mahmoud and his administration have argued that Israel’s recognition of Somaliland is part of a broader strategy to displace Palestinians from their territory and establish a military foothold in Somaliland. Somaliland officials, however, have repeatedly denied any discussions or agreements involving Palestinians. Source Geeska Qaran News

Gobolka Shabeellaha Hoose waxaa ka socda howl-gallo culus oo Dowladda Federaalka sheegtay in jab xooggan lagu gaarsiiyay Al-Shabaab, isla markaana guulo waaweyn laga gaaray howl-galadii ugu dambeeyay ee ka dhacay gobolkaas. Dhawaan ayey aheyd markii ciidamada xoogga dalka iyo kuwa deegaanka ay dileen Axmed Sheekh Cumar Cadow Gacal oo ahaa horjoogaha jabhadaha Al-Shabaab ee gobolka Shabeellaha Dhexe. Ninkan ayaa ka mid ahaa maleegayaasha weerarrada lagu dhibaateeyo shacabka Soomaaliyeeda, waxaana ugu dambeyn xalay lagu khaarijiyay howlgal qorsheysan oo ka dhacay deegaanka Cali Heele, oo 30 km u jira galbeedka magaalada Masagawaay ee gobolka Galgaduud. Howl-galladan ayaa qeyb ka ah dardar-gelinta dagaalka ka dhanka ah kooxda Al-Shabaab oo bilihii lasoo dhaafay hoos u dhacay, waxayna illaa hadda ciidamada dowladda iyo kuwa deegaanka ay xaqiijiyeen bartilmaameedyo muhiim ah.

Washington (Caasimada Online) – Madaxweynaha Mareykanka Donald Trump ayaa shaaciyay in xukuumaddiisu ay qaadi doonto tallaabooyin lagu laali karo dhalashada muwaadiniin Mareykan ah oo asal ahaan soo-galooti ah, haddii lagu helo dambiyo la xiriira khiyaano. Trump ayaa tusaale u soo qaatay dadka ka yimid Soomaaliya, isagoo hadalkan ka jeediyay kulan ay soo qaban-qaabisay Detroit Economic Club, halkaas oo uu ku adkeeyay in cid kasta oo lagu helo dambiyo khiyaano ah ay wajihi doonto xabsi, isla markaana laga saari doono dalka. “Qofkii u yimaada Mareykanka inuu khiyaameeyo shacabka, waan xiraynaa, kadibna waan ku celinaynaa halkii uu ka yimid,” ayuu yiri Trump. Hadalladan ayaa kusoo beegmaya xilli uu madaxweynuhu sii xoojinayo doodda ku saabsan eedeymo musuqmaasuq iyo khiyaano la xiriira barnaamijyo dowladeed oo lagu taageero daryeelka carruurta iyo cuntooyinka la kabay. Madaxweyne Trump ayaa si gaar ah u xusay gobolka Minnesota, oo ay deggen yihiin Soomaali-Mareykan tiro badan. Deegaanka Twin Cities ayaa hoy u ah bulshada Soomaaliyeed ee ugu weyn ee Mareykanka ku nool. Hay’adaha federaalka iyo kuwa gobollada ayaa wali wada baaritaanno la xiriira eedeymahaas, hase yeeshee ilaa hadda lama shaacin wax natiijo rasmi ah oo dhammeystiran. Iyadoo baaritaannadu socdaan, haddana maamulka Trump ayaa ku dhawaaqay in la hakiyay qaybo ka mid ah maalgelinta federaalka ee barnaamijyada daryeelka carruurta ee shan gobol, kuwaas oo ay maamulaan Dimuqraadiyiin. Gobolladaasi oo kala ah California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota iyo New York ayaa tallaabadaas ka dhan ah u gudbiyay dacwad maxkamadeed, iyagoo ku andacoonaya inay ka hor imanayso sharciga federaalka. Garsoore federaal ah ayaa toddobaadkii la soo dhaafay soo saaray amar si ku-meel-gaar ah u joojinaya go’aankaas, inta ay dacwadda socoto. Madaxweyne Trump ayaa marar badan horey u adeegsaday hadallo ku saabsan waxa uu ku tilmaamay dambiyo iyo khiyaano ay ku lug leeyihiin muhaajiriin, si uu u difaaco adkeynta siyaasadaha socdaalka. Dhaliilayaal ayaa sheegaya in eedeymahaasi badankood aysan ku saleysneyn caddeyn dhameystiran, isla markaana ay si gaar ah u beegsanayaan bulshooyinka soo-galootiga ah. Cilmi-baarisyo kala duwan ayaa muujiyay in muhaajiriintu guud ahaan ka hooseeyaan dadka Mareykanka ku dhashay marka la eego ku lug lahaanshaha dambiyada rabshadaha wata.

Laascaanood (Caasimada Online) – Maamulka Waqooyi Bari Soomaaliya ayaa soo bandhigay cudud ciidan iyo gaadiidka dagaalka oo noocyo kala duwan ah, xilli uu Wasiirka Gaashaandhigga Soomaaliya, Axmed Macallin Fiqi kormeer ku tegay aagga Guumays. Wasiir Fiqi ayaa ciidamada kula dardaarmay adkaynta nabadda, ilaalinta midnimada, wadajirka dalka, iyo ka hortagga faragelin kasta oo shisheeye oo lagu doonayo kala-goynta Soomaaliya. Sidoo kale, wuxuu xusay muhiimadda ay leedahay feejignaanta amni iyo u diyaargarowga difaaca qaranka. “Waxaan aad ugu farxay iina soo jiitey in Calanka Jamhuuriyadda Federaalka Soomaaliya, kan Ciidanka Xoogga Dalka iyo kan Dowlad Goboleedka Waqooyi Bari ay ka babanayaan Guumays oo dhowr sano ka hor laga diidanaa,” ayuu yiri Wasiir Fiqi.
