War-murtiyeedkii galabta laga soo saaray dhammaadka Gogosha Wadatashiga Qaran ee uu Madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh horay u iclaamiyay, balse aanay Mucaaradka ka soo qeyb galin ayaa diiradda saaray laba arrimood oo muhiim ah: dhamaystirka dastuurka iyo dimuqraadiyaynta iyo doorashooyinka. Dhinaca dastuurka, war-murtiyeedku wuxuu ku tilmaamay dastuurka inuu yahay “dukumenti nool” oo mar walba wax-ka-beddel lagu sameyn karo. Gogoshu waxay adkaysay in dhamaystirka dastuurku yahay waajib qaran iyo mudnaan sare leh, iyadoo sidoo kale la xusay in afarta cutub ee horey u ansixiyay Baarlamaanka Federaalka ay yihiin qayb ka mid ah dastuurka.

Cabdullaahi Maxamed Cali Sanbaloolshe, oo dhowaan laga qaaday xilkii Taliyaha Hay’adda Sirdoonka iyo Nabadsugidda Qaranka (NISA), ayaa si rasmi ah ugu soo laabanaya golaha shacabka isagoo dib u qaadanaya kursigiisii xildhibaanimo ee uu horey u hayay. Sanbaloolshe ayaa markii hore loo magacaabay Taliyaha NISA markiisii 3aad iyadoo laga qaaday booskii xildhibaanimo, taasoo waafaqsan dastuurka kumeelgaarka ah ee mamnuucaya in qof xil sare haya uu xildhibaan sii ahaado. Hadda oo xilkii laga qaaday, wuxuu dib ula soo noqonayaa kursigii Golaha shacabka uu ku matalayay, isagoo ku laabtay Magaalada Jowhar iyo Xarunta Maamul Goboleedka Hirshabeelle. Go’aankan ayaa dhaliyay falcelin kala duwan oo ka imaanaya bulshada iyo falanqeeyayaasha siyaasadda. Qaar waxay u arkaan inuu yahay dib u laabasho sharciyeysan, halka qaar kalena ay u arkaan in arrintan ay tusaale u tahay sida siyaasadda Soomaaliya ay mararka qaar ugu dhex milanto xilal isdiidan iyo dano gaar ah. Sanbaloolshe waa siyaasi horey uga soo shaqeeyay hay’ado kala duwan oo dowladeed, waxaana uu leeyahay khibrad sirdoon iyo xiriir diblomaasiyadeed. Waxaa la is weydiinayaa doorka uu hadda ka ciyaari doono baarlamaanka – ma noqon doonaa mid firfircoon oo dib u dhisa sumcadiisa siyaasadeed mise waxaa loo arki doonaa siyaasi ku soo noqday booskiisa si kumeelgaar ah? Dib u laabashada Sanbaloolshe ee kursiga baarlamaanka ayaa sidoo kale imaanaysa xilli dalka uu wajahayo marxalad doorasho iyo muran siyaasadeed, taasoo laga yaabo inay fursad u noqoto ama caqabad kusoo kordhiso doorkiisa siyaasadeed. Dib ugu laabashadda Sanbaloolshe ee Baarlamaanka waa mid muujinaysa in siyaasadda Soomaaliya ay tahay goob mar walba laga yaabo in dad horey uga baxay ay dib ugu soo laabtaan, iyadoo mararka qaar isbeddellada aysan ahayn kuwo waqti dheer soconaya. Waxaa xusid mudan in sidoo kale uu gabaabsi yahay Mudo xileedka Baarlamaanka Soomaaliya oo sanad ka yar ay ka harsan tahay Mudo sharciyeedkiisa. W/D: Mohamed Farah Ali Source: goobjoog.com

  14. Fault Lines and Frontiers: The Somaliland Question and America’s New Horn Doctrine The understated yet geopolitically charged visit by a U.S. congressional delegation to Hargeisa on June 18, 2025 – just days after the U.S. House of Representatives introduced the Republic of Somaliland Independence Act on June 12 – may well mark a decisive shift in the strategic landscape of the Horn of Africa. This evolving engagement reflects a careful recalibration of American foreign policy: a balancing act between legislative influence in Washington and grassroots diplomacy on the ground. It signals the emergence of a new paradigm – one that could realign regional alliances and reshape global influence across a volatile and strategically vital corridor. The principal rationale advanced by American lawmakers for the formal recognition of Somaliland hinges on a compelling trifecta: internal stability, democratic governance, and strategic relevance (Perry, S. 2025). For over three decades, Somaliland has functioned as a de facto independent state, conducting credible democratic elections, maintaining relative peace, and actively cooperating in counterterrorism and anti-piracy efforts – an impressive contrast to the enduring instability that continues to plague Mogadishu and the southern regions of Somalia. The proposed legislation seeks to harmonize U.S. foreign policy with the reality on the ground: a self-governing entity that mirrors many of the core values the United States purports to champion abroad. From a geostrategic standpoint, American interest in Somaliland is deeply rooted in great power competition – particularly with China and, to a lesser degree, Iran and Russia. Somaliland’s geographic position on the Gulf of Aden, adjacent to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, places it at the heart of one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints. The potential access to Berbera Port – quietly acknowledged by the U.S. military as a future strategic asset – offers Washington a significant opportunity to strengthen its naval posture in the Red Sea and beyond. At a moment when China is steadily expanding its influence across the African continent through port construction, infrastructure financing, and digital diplomacy, the cultivation of a military and diplomatic partnership with Somaliland provides the United States with a critical counterweight. This budding partnership also resonates with Washington’s broader values-based strategic doctrine. Somaliland’s diplomatic overtures toward Taiwan – a fellow unrecognized but democratic polity – have not gone unnoticed. In an era when the U.S. increasingly frames its foreign policy as a contest between open societies and authoritarian regimes, the alignment with Hargeisa is emblematic of a “democracies-first” approach. It symbolizes a shift from transactional diplomacy to one rooted in shared ideals, signaling that Washington may be prepared to reward entities that reflect liberal governance, regardless of their formal diplomatic status. The implications for the broader Horn of Africa are profound. The high-profile nature of the U.S. delegation’s visit, which reportedly included discussions on port access, economic development, and diplomatic normalization, hints at a deliberate U.S. departure from its long-standing adherence to the “One Somalia” policy. This shift comes in the wake of Mogadishu’s declaration banning foreign agreements with Somaliland – an act that underscores just how fraught the issue of sovereignty remains. For Washington to move forward with formal engagement would inevitably provoke backlash from Somalia’s central government and could usher in a new era of diplomatic turbulence. For Ethiopia, however, U.S. recognition of Somaliland could be a strategic boon. Earlier this year, Addis Ababa signed a controversial Memorandum of Understanding with Hargeisa, granting Ethiopia port access and a naval base lease in Berbera—an agreement that sparked outrage in Mogadishu and heightened regional tensions. Should the U.S. move to legitimize Somaliland’s status, it would implicitly lend credibility to Ethiopia’s Red Sea aspirations and validate the MoU. Such an outcome would embolden Ethiopia’s regional positioning, while simultaneously risking further estrangement from Somalia and potentially igniting wider friction with neighboring states. Indeed, the regional ramifications extend well beyond Ethiopia and Somalia. States like Djibouti and Eritrea, each with vested interests in Red Sea security and maritime trade, would be compelled to reassess their strategic alignments. An American tilt toward Somaliland could trigger a wave of recalibrations, intensify proxy rivalries, and reconfigure the balance of power in one of the world’s most fragile geopolitical theaters. To interpret this U.S. maneuver solely as opportunistic would be reductive. Rather, it reflects a broader multipolar recalibration, in which Washington seeks reliable partners in regions where its influence is increasingly contested. Somaliland – with its institutional stability, strategic location, and democratic credentials – emerges as an attractive candidate. Formal recognition would not simply be an acknowledgment of a de facto reality; it would be a calculated investment in a strategic outpost for projecting American influence across the Red Sea and into the Indian Ocean. What follows will be a complex and prolonged phase of diplomatic realignment. The introduction of the Republic of Somaliland Independence Act marks merely the beginning of a potentially transformative process. The presence of a U.S. delegation on Somaliland soil for the first time in decades is no longer a symbolic gesture – it is a concrete indication that Washington is seriously rethinking its Horn of Africa strategy. The region now stands at a crossroads. American recognition of Somaliland could usher in a new chapter of opportunity, bringing long-denied legitimacy to Hargeisa and unlocking pathways for economic and security partnerships. For Ethiopia, it could be a long-sought breakthrough in its Red Sea quest. Yet, the move also risks catalyzing deeper fragmentation, igniting nationalist backlash, and exacerbating already volatile rivalries in the region. Whether this marks the beginning of a more stable, cooperative era – or the onset of intensified regional polarization – will be revealed in the months to come. But one thing is clear: the Horn of Africa has entered a new and uncertain phase, and Washington is no longer a passive observer.

  16. Ambassador Riley’s diplomatic mission signals Washington’s growing interest in direct engagement Key Points U.S. Ambassador Riley led a rare full-team visit to Hargeisa, signaling deepening ties. Washington is reviewing its One-Somalia policy and considering a diplomatic office in Somaliland. Media misreported visit as military-related—no U.S. military officials were present. Berbera featured prominently in talks amid growing U.S. interest in regional security. Somaliland Presidency and Foreign Ministry declined to comment on the visit. HARGEISA – In a visit described by insiders as anything but routine, US Ambassador to Somalia Richard Riley brought his full senior team to Hargeisa this week for closed-door meetings with Somaliland’s leadership. The high-level delegation included Deputy Chief of Mission Steven Gillen and senior Political, Economic, and Military Affairs officers—essentially the entire top brass of the US mission to Somalia. After spending the night in Hargeisa, the group flew to Berbera the next morning. No public statements were issued by either side. “This wasn’t a courtesy call,” said one Somaliland government source, speaking on condition of anonymity. “When the entire embassy leadership comes and stays the night, something significant is happening.” Multiple sources confirmed to the Chronicle that Washington is quietly reassessing its decades-old One-Somalia policy—a diplomatic framework that treats Somalia as a single territorial entity and has long precluded formal US engagement with Somaliland. Officials are now weighing the possibility of opening a diplomatic office in Hargeisa, akin to the UK’s arrangement, as part of a shift toward what sources describe as a “reality-based approach.” For decades, the One-Somalia policy has served as the cornerstone of U.S. engagement in the Horn of Africa. Under this framework, the United States has recognized the sovereignty of Somalia as a unified state, avoiding any bilateral dealings with Somaliland to avoid legitimizing its independence claim. The approach has long frustrated Somaliland officials, who argue that their democratic governance and relative stability warrant separate recognition. This would mark a clear departure from the approach of previous ambassadors—such as Donald Yamamoto and Larry André—whom a retired U.S. official described as “more Catholic than the Pope” in their rigid adherence to Mogadishu-centric diplomacy. Ambassador Riley, a 30-year career diplomat who assumed his post almost a year ago, appears to be charting a new course. His decision to bring the full embassy leadership signals that the discussions were treated as a strategic priority. The visit also comes just days ahead of AFRICOM Commander General Michael Langley’s expected trip to Somaliland—his final stop before stepping down—a move that adds military weight to the evolving relationship. Although some media outlets rushed to frame the visit as AFRICOM-centric—fueled by social media clips of V-22 Osprey helicopters hovering over Berbera—there were no U.S. military officials present in this delegation. The coverage largely missed the fact that this was a full-spectrum diplomatic mission led by Ambassador Riley, not a defense-driven operation. The real story was in Hargeisa, behind closed doors. “The Americans are clearly interested in more than development assistance,” said a second source familiar with the talks. “Berbera came up repeatedly.” Berbera Port, now operated by DP World, has grown into a strategic logistics hub serving Ethiopia’s trade and sitting along critical Red Sea shipping lanes—where Chinese influence has surged. Defense analysts have identified it as a prime location for projecting U.S. power in the region and countering emerging threats. Details of the Hargeisa meetings with President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi “Cirro” and his senior team remain closely guarded. A Somaliland official would only describe the discussions as “seeking engagement in areas of mutual interest”—a diplomatic phrase that has done little to quell speculation. That speculation has only intensified following public statements by Somaliland officials expressing openness to hosting U.S. forces. Sources suggest the talks included discussion of long-term military and strategic cooperation, potentially including a U.S. presence in Berbera. The shift in U.S. posture comes amid signs of growing frustration with Somalia’s federal government. In recent months, Somalia has pivoted to China and Washington has significantly slashed funding particularly in the security sector, imposed new travel restrictions on Somali travellers, and quietly scaled down its presence in Mogadishu due to persistent security and governance concerns. These moves reflect what some analysts see as a broader recalibration of U.S. interests in the Horn of Africa. In what may be a further sign of deepening engagement, sources indicate that President Cirro is preparing for an official visit to the United States, although the timeline remains unclear. While Somaliland’s Minister of Foreign Affairs visited Washington just last month—meeting with multiple U.S. legislators including Ted Cruz of Texas and Scott Perry—there is still no confirmation on which figures from President Trump’s adminstration in State or Defense the Somaliland delegation might engage. The contrast in diplomatic posture is becoming impossible to ignore. For decades, the U.S. has funneled aid and engagement through federal institutions in Mogadishu. Now, Riley’s direct outreach to Hargeisa—backed by possible military coordination—signals a break with that status quo. “They’re talking about something more permanent,” one source said, referring to the proposed diplomatic presence. Privately, some U.S. officials describe the idea of Somali unity as a “fiction,” and see Somaliland as a functional, stable partner worth engaging on its own terms. Recent shifts in American policy—reduced aid flows, travel restrictions, and a more restrained presence in Mogadishu—have further highlighted the growing appeal of Somaliland’s relative stability and functioning institutions. Somaliland’s foreign ministry did not respond to multiple requests for comment. The Office of the President also declined to engage, despite repeated inquiries. The silence from both institutions has only fueled speculation about the depth and direction of this new chapter in US-Somaliland relations. The upcoming visit by General Langley may serve as a litmus test for whether defense cooperation will form a pillar of this emerging relationship. If the military angle takes shape, it would represent not just a diplomatic shift—but a significant recalibration of American strategic posture in the Horn of Africa. After thirty years of wishful thinking in Mogadishu, Washington may finally be ready to deal with the Horn’s realities—not its illusions. Somalilandchronicle Qaran News

Xuutiyiinta oo ah jabhad ay Iiraan taageerto oo fadhigoodu yahay dalka Yemen, ayaa si joogto ah weeraro gantaallo ah ugu qaada Israa’iil iyaga oo garabsiinaya Xamaas oo Qasa kula dagaallamaysa Israa’iil, balse waa dhif iyo naadir in mid ka mid ah uu soo maro difaacyada casriga ah ee Israa’iil. Kooxdan ayaa sidoo kale weeraro ku qaaday maraakiib marayey Badda Cas, taas oo uu Maraykanku kaga jawaabay in inuu kordhiyo duqeymo ka dhan ah kooxda oo lagu qaadayo qaybo badan oo ka mid ah dalkaas Yemen. Dhanka kale, iyadoo maalmihii u dambeeyay ay weeraro is dhaafsanayeen Iiraan iyo Israa’iil, madaxweynaha Mareykanka, Donald Trump iyo hoggaamiyaha ruuxiga ah ee Iiraan, Ayatollah Cali Khamenei, ayaa baraha bulshada isku dhaafsaday hadallo 24-kii saacadood ee u dambeeyay. Trump ayaa Talaadadii shalay qoraal uu sp dhigay bartiisa truth ku yiri: “Waan ognahay meesha uu isku qarinayo ninka isugu yeera ‘hugaamiyaha ruuxiga ah’. “Waa bartilmaameed sahlan, balse waa ammaan – ma dili doono, ugu yaraan hadda ma dilayno. “Ma rabno inaan gantaalo shacab lagu dhufto, ama askar Maraykan ah. Dulqaadkeenu wuu sii yaraanayaa. Ku mahadsanidiin fiirintiina arrinkaan!”. Dhowr qoraal oo uu soo dhigay baraha bulshada, ayuu hogaamiyaha ruuxiga ah ee Iran, Ayatullah Ali Khamenei ku sheegay, in Iran aanay marnaba gorgortan ka geli doonin dagaalka Israa’iil, isagoo intaa ku daray “dagaalku wuu bilaabmay”. Waxaa la rumeysan yahay inay yihiin faallooyinkiisii ​​​​ugu horreeyay ee dadweynaha tan iyo markii madaxweyne Trump uu sheegay in Mareykanku uu ka hortagayo in la dilo Khamenei. Qaran News
