On November 20, 2024, Somaliland’s National Election Commission announced the results of Somaliland’s latest elections: Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi “Irro,” the head of the opposition Waddani Party triumphed, blocking incumbent President Muse Bihi’s attempt to win a second term. The election continues Somaliland’s long history of truly democratic elections and peaceful transfers of power. Somaliland’s success also stands in sharp contrast to Somalia itself which has repeatedly failed to hold one man, one vote elections despite billions of dollars in external assistance. Mogadishu’s excuses fall short given Somaliland’s repeated and regular success now over decades; donors must ask why Somaliland can hold transparent, free, and successful elections at less than one percent of the cost that Somalia, the world’s most corrupt country, demands. Somalilander politics are often more about patronage and balance than ideology, and the unrecognized country has a long history of punishing incumbency. Change stymies corruption and prevents any one faction from sinking such deep roots that they begin to see their rule as a right rather than a privilege. Not all change would be good, however. For the first time in 65 years, there is real momentum for Somaliland’s recognition in both Washington and London. Within the United States, Somaliland has vocal supporters in the White House, Congress, Pentagon, and intelligence community. While the State Department has been traditionally hostile to Somaliland due to its embrace of Somalia’s narrative and wishful thinking about Somalia’s ability to live at peace with itself and its neighbors, on November 19, 2024, the U.S. Embassy in Mogadishu congratulated Somaliland on its successful elections. The cracks in State Department hostility will likely widen during the President-elect Donald Trump’s second term as likely appointees to the State Department’s Africa bureau recognize both the moral and strategic case for Somaliland recognition. Such progress did not happen in a vacuum, however. In Bashir Goth, Somaliland has perhaps the most agile ambassador in Washington, DC of any African country. He is a notable Somali poet and the son of a famous cleric with service both in Mogadishu and the Somaliland capital Hargeisa. He has carefully built relationships across Washington, both in Congress and in then private realm not because he could purchase lobbyists—Somalia’s main strategy—but rather based on his ability to make Somaliland’s case intellectually and persuasively. He also represented Somaliland’s true democratic nature by promoting the state rather than Bihi’s party. During his entire tenure, no American heard him criticize any Somaliland politician; quite the contrary, he has discussed and depicted each of the party leaders including Irro equally. While Irro might wish to dispense patronage—including the Washington posting—to his immediate supporters, this would risk returning Somaliland’s mission to the starting line in the race to gain recognition. Relationships take years to build; they cannot easily be handed off. One of the reasons why Bihi succeeded in raising Somaliland’s profile was because he established relations with Taiwan. While Taiwan once had ties with countries across Africa, today only Somaliland and Eswatini [Swaziland] formally recognize the Republic of China. When Bihi embraced Taiwan, Beijing grew furious. The Chinese ambassador in Mogadishu first tried to cajole, then bribe, and finally armed insurgents in Somaliland’s east. Wadani party members previously questioned Somaliland-Taiwan ties, especially with China so eager to offer gifts. Irro should realize both that Somaliland-Taiwan ties jumpstarted Somaliland’s recognition drive in Washington and that if Somaliland does distance itself from Taiwan, it becomes just one of many countries in Africa with China ties and so will not be able to juxtapose itself favorably against neighbors like Djibouti, Ethiopia, or Somalia, or myriad other countries like Benin, Equatorial Guinea, or the Democratic Republic of Congo. In short, to change its China policy would be to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. For too long, the world has ill-treated Somaliland and the United States especially has subordinated its own interests to those of China’s Communist Party and corrupt Somali leaders in Mogadishu. Bihi’s legacy has been to position Somaliland for Washington’s formal recognition. Somaliland today is more likely than Palestine or Kurdistan to gain acceptance as the world’s next country. Irro must choose: Reverse Bihi’s policies to demonstrate his own power or be the president who welcomes the next U.S. president on his first state visit to the Republic of Somaliland.

*Against All Odds: Somaliland’s Political Maturity Shines as a Beacon of Hope* Somaliland, a nation born out of resilience and resolve, has defied expectations once again by achieving what many in the region and beyond thought impossible: demonstrating a profound level of national political maturity through democratic elections and a peaceful transfer of power. In a region fraught with the scars of political unrest, dictatorship, and instability, Somaliland has emerged as a shining example of what can be achieved when a people commit to governance that reflects their aspirations. Somaliland’s journey has been anything but easy. Since its declaration of independence in 1991 following the brutal civil war that fractured Somalia, Somaliland has faced relentless challenges: internal struggles to build state institutions, an international community reluctant to recognize its sovereignty, and the absence of the financial aid that many other nations depend upon to bolster their democracies. Most recently, Somaliland successfully conducted its elections without international funding—an extraordinary feat that highlights its unwavering commitment to self-reliance and the principles of democracy. Unlike many nations in the Horn of Africa, where authoritarianism often stifles progress, Somaliland has steadfastly pursued democratic governance. Its citizens have repeatedly gone to the polls to elect their leaders in free, fair, and peaceful elections, a rarity in a region where such practices are often marred by violence and corruption. This success is not merely a political achievement; it is a testament to the collective determination of a people who refuse to let their fate be defined by external limitations. Somaliland’s perseverance is all the more remarkable given its geopolitical context. Encircled by countries gripped by political turmoil, extremist threats, and socio-economic instability, Somaliland has maintained peace within its borders, developed functional institutions, and nurtured a vibrant civil society. The contrast between Somaliland and many of its neighbors, could not be starker. While others have struggled under the weight of authoritarianism and conflict, Somaliland has quietly yet resolutely built a model of governance that prioritizes the will of the people. The international community’s refusal to recognize Somaliland as a sovereign state is not just a denial of its political achievements but also a missed opportunity to support a stabilizing force in a volatile region. Recognition would affirm the principles of self-determination and democracy that Somaliland exemplifies. More importantly, it would pave the way for economic growth, enhanced security cooperation, and stronger regional partnerships that benefit not only Somaliland but the entire Horn of Africa. The people of Somaliland have not waited for validation from the outside world to prove their worth. They have created a nation built on principles of peace, democracy, and justice, overcoming daunting obstacles, including limited resources, international isolation, and the lingering shadow of one of the region’s longest periods of political unrest. These achievements should not only inspire East Africa but also serve as a lesson to the global community: a determined people, united in purpose, can overcome even the most insurmountable odds. Somaliland has shown the world what it means to stand resolute in the face of adversity. It is time for the international community to recognize this exceptional nation—not just as a political entity but as a symbol of hope, resilience, and the transformative power of self-governance. To ignore Somaliland’s achievements is to ignore the promise of what democracy can bring, even in the most challenging of circumstances. By Zakaria Jama Qaran News
