Ra’iisul Wasaaraha Xukuumadda Jamhuuriyadda Federaalka Soomaaliya, Mudane Xamse Cabdi Barre, ayaa wareysi gaar ah oo uu siiyay Telefishinka Aljazeera ku faahfaahiyay mowqifka dowladda Soomaaliya ee ku aaddan tallaabadii ay Israa’iil ku dhawaaqday inay ku aqoonsatay Soomaaliland. Ra’iisul Wasaaruhu wuxuu sheegay in tan iyo markii ay soo baxday warkaasi, dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya ay qaaday tallaabooyin diblumaasiyadeed oo xoog leh, kuwaas oo isugu jira xiriir toos ah oo ay la sameysay dalal iyo ururro caalami ah, si loo muujiyo halista ka dhalan karta go’aankaasi. Wuxuu caddeeyay in dadaalladaasi ay miro dhaleen, isla markaana inta badan dalalka iyo ururrada caalamiga ah ay si cad ula safteen Soomaaliya, una muujiyeen taageeradooda midnimada, madax-bannaanida iyo wadajirka dhulka Jamhuuriyadda Federaalka Soomaaliya. Mudane Xamse Cabdi Barre ayaa intaa ku daray in haddii aan si wadajir ah looga hortagin Israa’iil, ay jirto halis weyn oo ku saabsan in Israa’iil ay isku daydo inay saameyn iyo gacan-ku-hayn ku yeelato marin-biyoodka muhiimka ah ee Badda Cas. Sidoo kale, Ra’iisul Wasaaruhu wuxuu ka digay in Israa’iil ay doonayso inay Geeska Afrika ka samaysato saldhigyo istiraatiiji ah oo ay dalal kale uga duusho, arrintaas oo uu ku tilmaamay mid khatar weyn ku ah amniga gobolka iyo xasilloonida guud ee Afrika iyo Bariga Dhexe. Ra’iisul Wasaaraha Soomaaliya ayaa adkeeyay in dowladda Federaalka ay sii wadi doonto dadaalladeeda diblumaasiyadeed, isla markaana ay la shaqeyn doonto saaxiibbada caalamka si loo ilaaliyo sharciga caalamiga ah, loogana hortago tallaabo kasta oo wiiqi karta madaxbannaanida Soomaaliya iyo amniga gobolka Geeska Afrika.

Israel is the first to recognize Somaliland, but the move may deepen clan divisions, fuel extremism, and damage Israel’s regional standing. Residents wave Somaliland flags as they gather to celebrate Israel’s announcement recognising Somaliland’s statehood in downtown Hargeisa, on December 26, 2025.(photo credit: Farhan Aleli / AFP via Getty Images) Israel is the first country to formally recognize Somaliland as independent. While Somaliland’s desperation for recognition is understandable, Israel’s rush is puzzling. Any strategic gains for Israel are far outweighed by the risks. Instead of strengthening Somaliland, it deepens its internal divisions, inflames regional tensions, fails to advance Israel’s security interests against the Houthis, and isolates Israel diplomatically. In principle, Somaliland deserves international recognition, as its population is generally better off than the rest of Somalia, and colonially imposed states have consistently failed to provide security, employment, and political legitimacy. However, Israel’s recognition increases Somaliland’s vulnerability and does little to advance Israel’s strategic goals, whether countering the Houthis, limiting Turkish influence in the Horn of Africa, securing the Red Sea, advancing the Abraham Accords, or even facilitating the relocation of Palestinians from Gaza. Instead, the move risks weakening Somaliland while offering Israel limited, if any, strategic benefit. It is unsurprising that the Mossad is behind this move, reflecting institutional hubris, strategic arrogance, and a shallow understanding of the Horn of Africa. The Mossad failed to anticipate the Houthi threat, and it similarly underestimates the looming threat in Sudan. The timing offered Israel a convenient opportunity Prime Minister Netanyahu thanked Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, Mossad Chief David Barnea, and the agency for facilitating Israel’s recognition of Somaliland, expressing hopes for its success. Yet, given Somaliland’s desperation for recognition and the looming Israeli elections, the timing offered Israel a convenient opportunity, even if the strategic payoff remains uncertain. Although Somaliland has long presented itself as an exception in the Horn of Africa, stable, democratic, and functionally independent for the past three decades, the reality is far more complex. Clan identity plays a central role in politics, land ownership, and representation. The Isaaq clan controls central and northern urban centers like Hargeisa, Berbera, and Burao. However, the eastern regions and northwestern present remain loyal to Somalia’s federal government, creating contested territories. Although Somaliland has long presented itself as an exception in the Horn of Africa, stable, democratic, and functionally independent for the past three decades, the reality is far more complex. Clan identity plays a central role in politics, land ownership, and representation. The Isaaq clan controls central and northern urban centers like Hargeisa, Berbera, and Burao. However, the eastern regions and northwestern present remain loyal to Somalia’s federal government, creating contested territories. In eastern Somaliland, mainly Sool and Sanaag, the Sool clan and other Darod sub-clans remain loyal to Somalia’s federal government, creating contested territories and frequent conflicts. On April 14, the Somali government recognized SSC-Khaatumo as its sixth Federal Member State, reducing Somaliland’s territory to about 45% of the former British Somaliland and significantly weakening its claim to independence. In the northwest, the Dir clan, mainly the Issa, is concentrated in Awdal and Borama, with strong ties to Djibouti, which supports their political and social interests, often resisting Hargeisa’s authority. Israel’s recognition of Somaliland will intensify conflicts in both the eastern and northwestern regions. Federal-aligned clans in Sool and Sanaag are likely to use Israel’s presence to rally against Hargeisa, with Turkey providing political, military, and economic support. In the northwest, the Issa, backed by Djibouti and China, will similarly resist central authority. China strongly opposes Somaliland’s ties with Taiwan, seeing it as undermining the One-China Principle. These dynamics threaten to escalate territorial disputes and further undermine Somaliland’s central authority and unity. The move also gives Al-Shabab propaganda leverage. The group can exploit strong anti-Israeli sentiment among Somali nationalists and Islamists, particularly within the Isaaq clan, to recruit fighters and gain legitimacy. Anti-Israel sentiment is the easiest way for Islamist militias to gain legitimacy. Al-Shabab can frame recognition as Zionist interference betrayal to the Palestinians by Somaliland, strengthening ties with the Houthis, Iran, and the Eritrean dictator—who opposes Somalia’s fragmentation and UAE interference, and has already trained deployed 10,000 Somali troops in 2022, many of whom later defected to Al-Shabab. This dynamic further increases Somaliland’s vulnerability. Strategically, the recognition fails Israel. The idea that recognition would strengthen Israel’s leverage against the Houthis misunderstands the threat. Defeating the Houthis requires a ground campaign by partners with a cohesive national army and the willingness to defeat them—capabilities that Somaliland lacks. A naval base in Somaliland only brings Israeli airstrikes closer. Past air campaigns by Saudi Arabia and the US, and Israel’s targeted killings, and sanctions have all failed. Even in Gaza, Israel required ground operations to deal with Hamas. Israeli presence in Somaliland would not shift the strategic balance against the Houthis. The recognition does little to extend the Abraham Accords. On August 14, Senator Ted Cruz urged Donald Trump in an open letter to recognize Somaliland, citing its willingness to strengthen ties with Israel and support the Abraham Accords. However, President Trump declined and stated that the United States had no immediate plans to follow Jerusalem’s lead. Saudi Arabia, which has conditioned normalization with Israel on a credible pathway to Palestinian statehood, also opposed the move—further underscoring that Israel’s recognition of Somaliland hardly advances the Abraham Accords in any meaningful way. Somaliland has explicitly denied any discussions or agreements with Israel or the United States regarding the relocation of Palestinians from Gaza. Deporting Palestinians and building a “Reviara” was never Israel’s plan; it was a proposal from Trump, which he has largely abandoned. Regardless, Somaliland would not volunteer to host such a relocation, as doing so would be suicidal—turning Somaliland into a perceived dumping ground for Palestinians and a primary target politically, diplomatically, and security-wise, while mobilizing Somalis, including the Isaaq clan, as well as Arabs and Muslims worldwide. Diplomatically, Israel faces backlash. The African Union, Arab League, and Gulf Cooperation Council oppose the move, gaining legitimacy for their anti-Israel stance. Most African countries face the risk of breakaway regions, like Somaliland. China officially opposes the recognition, and the European Union has reaffirmed strong support for Somalia’s territorial integrity and stability. While the UAE may view recognition favorably due to its ties with Somaliland, it has remained publicly restrained. Israel’s recognition of Somaliland serves neither its interests nor Somaliland’s. While Somaliland’s desire for recognition is understandable, the move deepens its internal divisions, heightens regional tensions, and strengthens extremist propaganda. Diplomatically, it isolates Israel and fails to deliver any strategic security benefits in the Red Sea. Overall, the recognition exposes both Somaliland and Israel to significant risks.

Muqdisho (Caasimada Online) – Ra’iisul Wasaaraha Xukuumadda Federaalka Soomaaliya, Mudane Xamza Cabdi Barre oo wareysi gaar ah siiyay Telefishinka Al-Jasiira ayaa mar kale si adag kaga hadlay aqoonsiga Israa’iil ee Somaliland, kaas oo ay horay u diiday dowladda dhexe. Xamza ayaa wareysigan ku shaaciyay qorshe halis ah oo ay Israa’iil ka damacsan tahay heshiiska ay la gashay Somaliland ee soo dadajiyay aqoonsiga, wuxuuna sheegay ujeedkeeda ugu wayn uu yahay in ay saldhigyo ku yeelato Geeska Afrika, si ay u maamusho dhaq-dhaqaaqa Badda iyo marin biyoodka Baabul Mandab. Ra’iisul Wasaaraha ayaa xusay in Netanyahu iyo xukuumaddiisa ay doonayaan inay isku ballaariyaan dhulka istaraatiijiga ah ee Waqooyi Galbeed Soomaaliya, balse tilaabadaas aysan marnaba aqbali doonin Soomaaliya. Waxaa kale oo uu ku baaqay in si wadajir ah looga hortago damaca indho la’aanta ah ee Israa’iil, isaga oo tilmaamay inuu khatar wayn ku yahay gobolka oo dhan, loona baahan yahay in si mideysan looga hortago qorshaha ay damacsan tahay Tel Aviv. Xukuumadda Dan-Qaran ayaa horay u caddeysay mowqifkeeda, waxaana ay si rasmi ah u sheegtay in go’aanka ay Israa’iil ku aqoonsatay gobolka Somaliland uu yahay mid sharci-darro ah, aan waxba ka jirin, kana hor imanaya madax-bannaanida iyo midnimada dhuleed ee Soomaaliya. War-saxaafadeed ka soo baxay Xafiiska Ra’iisul Wasaaraha oo ku taariikheysan 26-ka Diseembar 2025 ayaa lagu caddeeyay in tallaabada Israa’iil ay si toos ah ugu xadgudbayso Dastuurka ku-meelgaarka ah ee Soomaaliya, Axdiga Qaramada Midoobay, iyo heshiisyada aas-aaska u ah Midowga Afrika, gaar ahaan mabda’a ilaalinta xuduudaha dalalka Afrika ee lagu dhaxlay xornimada. Dowladda Federaalka ayaa intaas kusii dartay in aysan jirin cid dibadda ah oo sharci u leh inay wax ka beddesho xuduudaha caalamiga ah ee Soomaaliya, iyadoo ku adkaysatay in wax kasta oo lagu doonayo in lagu wiiqo midnimada qaranka ay yihiin kuwo aan lahayn wax saameyn sharci ama mid siyaasadeed.yaa si rasmi ah u sheegtay in go’aanka ay Israa’iil ku aqoonsatay gobolka Somaliland uu yahay mid sharci-darro ah, aan waxba ka jirin, kana hor imanaya madax-bannaanida iyo midnimada dhuleed ee Soomaaliya. Si kastaba, ha’ahaatee, falcelin xooggan iyo diidmo adag ayaa ka dhalatay go’aanka ay Israel ku aqoonsatay maamulka Somaliland, waxaana ka horyimid ururro caalami ah iyo Dalal waa wayn oo saaxib la ah Soomaaliya.

Muqdisho (Caasimada Online) – Kulan xalay Madaxtooyada ku dhexmaray Madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh iyo xubno ka tirsan Madasha Samatabixinta ayaa ku dhammaaday isfaham la’aan, kaddib markii Madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh diiday in wax siyaasadda arrimaha gudaha ah laga hadlo.

Aqoonsiga Israa’iil ee 26-kii Disembar — oo noqday kii ugu horreeyay ee uu sameeyo dal xubin ka ah Qaramada Midoobay — ayaa dhaliyay cambaareyn degdeg ah oo uga timid Soomaaliya, taas oo tallaabadaas ku tilmaantay sharci-darro iyo waxba kama jiraan. Soomaaliya waxay wacad ku martay inay aqoonsigaas kula dagaallami doonto waddooyin diblomaasiyadeed iyo kuwo sharci ah. Falcelinta arrintan ayaa si degdeg ah ugu fiday ururrada gobolka iyo caasimadaha muhiimka ah. Midowga Afrika ayaa si cad u diiday aqoonsi kasta oo la siiyo Somaliland, isagoo ka digay in tani ay noqon karto raad cusub oo xasillooni-darro gelin kara nidaamka xuduudaha qaaradda. Falcelinta Carabta iyo Khaliijka ayaa iyana noqotay mid adag. Sacuudi Carabiya iyo Qatar ayaa si xooggan u diiday go’aanka Israa’iil, iyagoo ku biiray dhinacyada kale ee gobolka ee taageeray midnimada dhuleed ee Soomaaliya. Somaliland, oo ku dhawaaqday inay ka go’day Soomaaliya sannadkii 1991-kii, isla markaana samaysatay hay’ado dowladeed iyo ciidamo u gaar ah, ayaa muddo dheer raadinaysay aqoonsi caalami ah. Hase yeeshee, waxay ku jirtay xaalad hubanti la’aan ah dhanka diblomaasiyadda. Go’aanka Israa’iil ayaa Hargeysa looga dabaal-degay inuu yahay guul weyn oo waddada u furi karta sharciyad ballaaran iyo maalgashi shisheeye, inkastoo iska-caabbinta gobolka ay weli xooggan tahay.

Israel’s formal recognition of Somaliland marks a seismic shift in Horn of Africa geopolitics. By becoming the first United Nations member state to extend sovereign recognition to Somaliland, Israel has transformed a long-standing regional question into an active arena of international strategic competition. The move elevates Somaliland from a de facto political entity into a state with emerging international legitimacy, reshaping both regional and global calculations along the Red Sea corridor. Like most global and emerging regional powers, Israel’s interest in Somaliland is deeply strategic, driven by the territory’s proximity to the vital Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, a chokepoint critical for global maritime trade and regional security. Recognition and deeper engagement provides Israel with a potential military and intelligence hub to monitor and counter Iranian and Houthi threats, as well as secure Red Sea access. As clearly stated by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the partnership extends into economic and security cooperation potentially facilitated by the . Israel’s recognition is also framed within the context of the Abraham Accords, signaling a broader Middle Eastern alignment and creating incentives for other regional actors to follow suit. Its cautious approach so far, favoring gradual engagement below the formal recognition threshold, reflects the complex regional dynamics, including Somalia’s claims, Gulf sensitivities, and competing global interests. Compounding these security considerations is the emergent transnational alliance between the Houthis and Al-Shabaab, which threatens regional stability and maritime security, underscoring Somaliland’s strategic value – particularly as Turkey’s influence in the Horn of Africa continues to rise. Turkey’s regional expansion has extended beyond Somalia into Sudan, exemplified by Al-Burhan’s visit to Ankara and the resumption of the previously frozen “Afak” security project. Ankara’s growing footprint along the Red Sea corridor challenges the strategic interests of Gulf states, the UAE, and Western powers, who are concerned with securing maritime trade routes, countering Turkish expansion, and maintaining regional stability. Israel’s recognition sets a precedent, creating a strategic opportunity for these actors to follow suit and coordinate engagement that can counterbalance Ankara’s influence in the region. Meanwhile, Russia’s interests in Somaliland are becoming increasingly pronounced due to the strategic significance of the Red Sea port of Berbera. Moscow has been exploring potential economic, trade, and military cooperation, which could challenge Western influence in the Horn of Africa. Somaliland reportedly rejected a recent Russian diplomatic visit request, likely due to pressure from Western allies leveraging recognition in exchange for port access. While Somalia maintains its claim over Somaliland, Russia appears willing to engage directly with the self-declared state to secure strategic interests, including potential naval facilities – a pivot from earlier plans focused on Sudan. China, in contrast, continues to firmly support Somalia’s “One Somalia” policy, opposing Somaliland’s independence and leveraging its close ties with Mogadishu to counter Western and Gulf efforts toward recognition. Beijing views Somaliland’s growing relations with Taiwan as interference in its strategic interests, while simultaneously reinforcing Somalia’s sovereignty through diplomatic engagement and aid programs. In response, Somaliland is actively courting the West, Israel, and Taiwan to secure recognition and break its international isolation, transforming the territory into a geopolitical proxy battleground. The United States’ position on Somaliland remains complex and fluid. Officially, U.S. policy continues to support a “One Somalia” approach. However, there is significant speculation that the Trump administration is considering a policy shift, potentially driven by strategic interests in countering China’s influence and securing access to Berbera. Somaliland has reportedly offered the U.S. military base access and mineral rights in exchange for recognition, while some U.S. lawmakers, notably Republican Representative Scott Perry, have introduced legislation calling for formal recognition. Israel’s recognition, framed within the Abraham Accords, and Prime Minister Netanyahu’s efforts to communicate Somaliland’s desire to join the Accords to President Trump could also influence U.S. calculations. Adding to the strategic dimension, the new AFRICOM commander recently visited Somaliland, signaling U.S. military interest and a willingness to engage with the territory on security matters. Recognition, however, carries risks, including potential complications with Somalia, which maintains strong ties to Turkey and Egypt. At the regional level, Ethiopia played a central role in reigniting international focus on Somaliland through the January 2024 Memorandum of Understanding under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. The MoU envisioned a pathway toward recognition in exchange for Ethiopian access to Somaliland’s ports, highlighting Addis Ababa’s strategic interest in Red Sea access and regional influence. Yet Ethiopia exercised restraint, delaying full recognition to respect Somalia’s sovereignty. Mogadishu’s intense reaction, compounded by alignment with Egypt and Eritrea, forced Ethiopia to pause, diffuse tension, and restore bilateral relations – demonstrating careful statecraft that balanced long-term strategic objectives with immediate regional stability. Somalia’s position as the “mother state” remains central. While Ethiopia–Somaliland relations already embody many of the substantive characteristics of state-to-state interaction, formal recognition could be strategically delayed until Mogadishu’s position becomes clearer. This ensures that Ethiopian or other international recognition does not reignite tensions with Somalia and aligns with broader regional diplomacy – particularly amid growing friction involving Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan, and Egypt. The reactions to Israel’s recognition of Somaliland from Egypt, Turkey and Somalia have been immediate and geopolitically consequential. They have articulated strong opposition. Egypt’s position is informed by Ethiopia’s historical ties to Somaliland, as Cairo seeks to safeguard its influence along the Red Sea corridor and within the broader Horn of Africa. By contesting unilateral recognition, Egypt aims to assert its regional authority and carefully manage potential shifts in the strategic equilibrium that could advantage Ethiopia, Israel, or competing Gulf actors. Turkey’s objection arises from its substantial investments in Somalia and Sudan, where Ankara has cultivated enduring strategic partnerships and expanded its footprint along the Red Sea. The recognition is perceived as a direct challenge to Turkey’s regional influence and an encroachment upon its expanding strategic ambitions. Djibouti, for its part, opposes recognition in order to maintain its status as the primary reliable and stable hub on the Bab-el-Mandeb and Red Sea corridor. Djibouti is acutely aware that formal recognition of Somaliland could reorient the regional power center, particularly as Ethiopia seeks to diversify its Red Sea access via Berbera, potentially diminishing Djibouti’s strategic leverage and economic centrality. On the other hand, other states in Africa and beyond are expected to reassess their positions and follow Israel in the coming days. South Sudan, with its own recent independence and strategic alignment with regional powers, could emerge as a likely candidate to extend recognition in the coming days, while countries such as Guinea may also weigh the political and economic benefits of supporting Somaliland’s sovereignty. This cascading effect would reinforce Somaliland’s international legitimacy, further consolidating Red Sea access and regional influence for states coordinating recognition, including the UAE, other Middle Eastern actors, and Western powers. Amid this rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape, Ethiopia remains a key regional actor whose approach to Somaliland will shape broader Horn of Africa dynamics. The optimal approach for Addis Ababa is strategic patience coupled with robust functional engagement: deepening economic, security, and port cooperation with Somaliland while maintaining constructive dialogue with Somalia to avoid inflaming tensions. By preparing carefully and coordinating its eventual recognition or formal engagement with broader international support, Ethiopia can maximize leverage, preserve regional stability, and ensure that its actions strengthen, rather than disrupt, the emerging order in the Horn of Africa. In this context, Ethiopia need not rush, but it also cannot remain indefinitely passive – its timing, coordination, and measured diplomacy will determine its role in shaping the future of Somaliland, the Horn of Africa and the entire Red Sea corridor.

Riyadh (Caasimada Online) — Dowladaha Qatar iyo Sacuudi Carabiya ayaa soo saaray diidmo xooggan oo ay kaga soo horjeedaan tallaabada ay Israa’iil si rasmi ah ugu aqoonsatay gobolka Somaliland, iyagoo ka digay in go’aankani uu horseedayo “raad khatar ah” oo halis gelinaya midnimada qaranka Soomaaliya. Cambaareynta degdegga ah ee Sabtidii ka timid Dooxa iyo Riyaad ayaa ku biirtay mowjadaha sii kordhaya ee carada gobolka, taas oo go’doominaysa guusha diblomaasiyadeed ee Somaliland 24 saac uun kaddib markii lagu dhawaaqay. Hase yeeshee, iyadoo labada awoodood ee waaweyn ee Khaliijka ay garab istaageen Muqdisho, haddana ilo diblomaasiyadeed ayaa tilmaamaya in heshiiska ay si hoose u soo agaasintay dowladda ay dariska yihiin ee Imaaraadka Carabta. Qoraal luuqad adag ku qornaa oo kasoo baxay Wasaaradda Arrimaha Dibadda Qatar ayaa tallaabada Israa’iil ku tilmaamay “xadgudub bareer ah oo lagu sameeyay sharciga caalamiga ah” iyo weerar toos ah oo lagu qaaday “midnimada dhuleed ee Jamhuuriyadda aan walaalaha nahay ee Federaalka Soomaaliya.” Dooxa waxay si cad u diidday isku-day kasta oo lagu “dhisayo maamullo barbar-socod ah,” taas oo tixraac u ah raadinta sharciyad ee Somaliland ay wadday tobannaanka sano. Sacuudi Carabiya ayaa iyaduna tallaabo taas la mid ah qaaday, iyadoo cambaareysay ku dhawaaqista Israa’iil oo ay ku tilmaamtay mid sii xoojinaysa “tallaabooyinka gooni-goosadka ah ee dhinac kaliya socda.” Riyaad waxay xaqiijisay “taageerada buuxda ee ay u hayso hay’adaha sharciga ah ee dowladda Soomaaliya,” waxayna ka digtay in haddii la baal-maro dowladda federaalka ay taasi sii hurin doonto xasillooni darrada Geeska Afrika. Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya ayaa isla markiiba soo dhaweysay bayaannadaas, iyadoo u aragta xaqiijin ah in aqoonsiga Israa’iil uusan haysan sharciyad gobolka ah. Muqdisho waxay tallaabada ku tilmaantay “waxba kama jiraan”, iyadoo saraakiil sar-sare ay ka digeen in arrintani ay khatar u tahay in loolanka Bariga Dhexe loo soo raro Badda Cas. Mawqifka Soomaaliya ayaa la jaanqaadaya qaanuunka Midowga Afrika oo diidaya in xuduudaha wax laga beddelo si hal dhinac ah. Inkastoo Israa’iil ay aqoonsiga ku tilmaantay guul taariikhi ah oo soo afjaraysa go’doonkii 34-ka sano ee Somaliland, haddana Imaaraadka Carabta—oo saameyn weyn ku leh labada dhinac—ayaa si weyn uga aamusay arrintan. Diblomaasiyiinta gobolka ayaa sheegaya in Abu Dhabi ay kaalin dhexe ka ciyaartay fududeynta heshiiskaan daaha gadaashiisa.

Riyadh (Somalia Today) — Qatar and Saudi Arabia have issued stinging rejections of Israel’s move to formally recognise the Somaliland region, warning the decision sets a “dangerous precedent” that threatens the unity of the Somali state. The swift condemnations from Doha and Riyadh on Saturday joined a growing chorus of regional anger, isolating Israel’s diplomatic breakthrough in the Horn of Africa just 24 hours after it was announced. Yet, while the Gulf’s two heavyweight powers rallied behind Mogadishu, diplomatic sources suggest the deal was quietly orchestrated by their mutual neighbor, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which has remained notably silent. Coordinated Gulf rejection In a sharply worded statement, Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the Israeli move a “flagrant violation of international law” and a direct assault on the “territorial integrity of the sisterly Federal Republic of Somalia.” Doha explicitly rejected any attempt to “impose parallel entities,” a reference to Somaliland’s decades-long quest for legitimacy, which Mogadishu views as secessionist. The Ministry added that Israel would be better off recognizing the “State of Palestine” rather than “undermining international legitimacy” in Africa. Saudi Arabia followed suit, with its Foreign Ministry condemning the announcement as an entrenchment of “unilateral secessionist measures.” Riyadh affirmed its “full support for the legitimate institutions of the Somali state” and warned that bypassing the federal government in Mogadishu would only deepen instability in the Horn of Africa. Somalia’s federal government immediately welcomed the Gulf statements, presenting them as confirmation that Israel’s recognition remains isolated and lacks regional legitimacy. Mogadishu described the move as “null and void,” insisting Somaliland remains an integral and inseparable part of the Somali state. Senior officials warned that the recognition risks importing volatile Middle Eastern rivalries into the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea corridor, a strategic zone that has become increasingly militarised amid wars in Gaza and Yemen. Somalia’s position aligns closely with African Union doctrine, which has consistently upheld the principle that borders inherited at independence should not be altered unilaterally. The AU reiterated that Somaliland remains part of Somalia, warning that recognition of breakaway regions risks encouraging secessionist movements elsewhere on the continent. Israel and Somaliland Israel announced its decision after contacts with Somaliland’s leadership, presenting the recognition as the establishment of formal diplomatic relations and a foundation for cooperation in areas such as development, agriculture, and technology. For Somaliland, which declared independence from Somalia in 1991 and has maintained its own government, security forces, and elections, Israel’s move represents the first recognition by a UN member state after more than three decades of diplomatic isolation. Officials in Hargeisa framed the recognition as a breakthrough that could open the door to wider international acceptance, foreign investment, and formal state-to-state agreements that have long been out of reach. “We have waited 34 years for this door to open,” a senior Somaliland official told Somalia Today. “We will not close it because others are uncomfortable with our sovereignty.” Yet the forceful response from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and other regional actors highlights the limits of that breakthrough and the diplomatic headwinds Somaliland still faces. The UAE’s quiet role Notably absent from the wave of official reactions has been the United Arab Emirates, a key Gulf actor with deep political, economic, and security ties across the Horn of Africa. Abu Dhabi has issued no public statement either endorsing or rejecting Israel’s recognition, despite its close relations with both Israel and Somaliland. Regional diplomats and officials, however, say the UAE played a quiet but central role in facilitating the recognition, acting behind the scenes to connect the parties and smooth the path toward the announcement. Those sources describe months of discreet coordination, even as the UAE avoided public ownership of the decision amid mounting regional opposition. Abu Dhabi has invested heavily in Somaliland in recent years, including port and infrastructure projects at Berbera port, while also maintaining close strategic ties with Israel following their normalisation agreement in 2020. The UAE’s silence reflects a delicate balancing act: leveraging influence without triggering a public rift with Arab partners who remain firmly aligned with Somalia’s territorial claims. Connecting Israel to this architecture serves a dual purpose for Abu Dhabi, strengthening the anti-Houthi security alliance in the Bab el-Mandeb strait while pulling Somaliland further into the orbit of the Abraham Accords. Broader regional stakes The growing backlash underscores wider fears that recognising Somaliland could weaken an already fragile international order built on state sovereignty, particularly in Africa, where borders remain sensitive and contested. For Somalia, the immediate challenge is to keep the dispute anchored in diplomatic and multilateral forums and to prevent it from escalating into a broader security contest along its northern coastline. For Arab states, the coordinated rejection by Qatar and Saudi Arabia signals an effort to project unity on Somalia’s territorial integrity while drawing a strategic red line around the Bab al-Mandab corridor. Riyadh and Doha view an Israeli foothold on this critical maritime choke point as a direct threat to Arab strategic depth, elevating the issue far beyond a local border dispute. With the Red Sea already militarised by wars in Gaza and Yemen, Gulf capitals are closing ranks to prevent a shift in influence that could permanently destabilize the Horn of Africa. Whether Israel’s recognition remains a symbolic outlier or evolves into a broader diplomatic shift will depend on how many states are willing to defy regional consensus — and how Somalia and its allies respond in the months ahead.

Residents of Somaliland took to the streets to celebrate on Friday after Israel became the first nation to recognize the breakaway region, as US President Donald Trump dampened expectations he could follow Jerusalem’s lead. While Trump at one point said he would study the issue, he later appeared dismissive. “Everything is under study,” he said in a phone interview with the New York Post. “We’ll study it. I study a lot of things and always make great decisions and they turn out to be correct.” Residents of Somaliland took to the streets to celebrate on Friday after Israel became the first nation to recognize the breakaway region, as US President Donald Trump dampened expectations he could follow Jerusalem’s lead.

Nor was Trump impressed by Somaliland’s offer to host a US military port, according to the Post. “Big deal,” he said when asked about the offer. Israel on Friday became the first country to recognize Somaliland, a former British protectorate that unilaterally declared independence from formerly Italian-ruled Somalia in 1991. Footage from Somaliland’s capital, Hargeisa, showed crowds waving the national flag and singing in the streets, while images of the Israeli and Somaliland flags were projected on the exterior of the National Museum of Somaliland.

But Gaza peace plan the US published in September says that Palestinians would be encouraged to stay in the Strip, and it was not immediately clear if Israel’s move was related to the Strip.

Just before dawn in Mogadishu, I stood quietly and watched something I once believed I would never see in my lifetime. Long, orderly lines of Somali citizens, women and men, young and old, waited patiently to cast their ballots in the city’s first local council elections by universal suffrage in more than fifty years. The moment was overwhelming. I felt a tightness in my chest and, for a brief second, I nearly shed a tear. I am in my forties, and this was the first time I participated in a direct national vote. That fact alone speaks volumes about Somalia’s history, and about how far we have come. My personal journey is inseparable from my country’s story. I grew up during the civil war, when violence, displacement, and the collapse of public institutions defined daily life. Education was uncertain, security was fragile, and hope often felt like a luxury. Yet like many Somalis, I held onto a belief that our nation could rise again. That belief carried me through hardship and into public service, where I now have the honor of helping rebuild Somalia’s healthcare system. For my generation, voting was once unimaginable. Decisions about our lives were made through force, clan negotiations, or external interventions. To see citizens peacefully exercising their constitutional right, standing in line with dignity and patience, is nothing short of historic. It is proof that Somalia is turning a page. The local council elections in Mogadishu were not just a political event; they were a statement. President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud rightly called on residents of the Benadir region to participate peacefully and responsibly, reminding us that democratic participation is both a right and a responsibility. The response was inspiring. Across all 16 districts of the capital, from Karaan to Kahda, Shangani to Deyniile, people showed up early and in large numbers. They showed faith in the process and belief in the future. What struck me most was the calm. For someone who grew up amid checkpoints, explosions, and fear, the peaceful atmosphere was powerful. Somalia today is not the Somalia of my childhood. Terror threats have significantly declined. Investment is returning — from international partners and from Somalis in the diaspora. Economic activity is growing. In Mogadishu, it is now common to see cafés, shops, and small businesses run not only by Somalis but also by neighbours, including Kenyans, who are seeking opportunity here. A decade ago, this would have been unthinkable. As Director General at the Ministry of Health, I see progress every day in another essential pillar of statehood: healthcare. Maternal and Child mortality is declining. Immunization coverage is expanding. Treatment for Tuberclosis, malaria other preventable infectious diseases is improving and Medical facilities infrastructures is reviving too. These gains are modest and fragile, but they are real. They reflect a state that is slowly regaining the trust of its people. He who knew where we came from, will recognise the progress. Democracy, peace, and development are deeply connected. Without accountable governance, health systems fail. Without stability, services cannot reach those who need them most. The ballot box, therefore, is not separate from the clinic or the hospital, it is part of the same foundation. The long lines of voters I witnessed were more than a sign of political participation. They were a symbol of resilience. After decades of conflict, Somalis are choosing their future peacefully, with dignity and patience. This vote is not the end of our journey. It is a beginning. But for the first time in many years, that beginning feels real, and within our grasp.
