Just bring me one evidence that sugggests other wise or that we are working with others and it isnt benefitting us and we are subserviant to them

UAE’s Strategic Pivot? Cirro’s Visit Signals New Regional Dynamic” In a carefully orchestrated diplomatic gesture that speaks volumes about shifting alliances in the Horn of Africa, the United Arab Emirates rolled out the red carpet for Somaliland’s President Abdirahman Cirro today, dispatching a private Royal Jet to ferry the newly elected leader to Abu Dhabi for his first overseas visit since taking office. Beyond boilerplate statements about mutual interests from the Presidential spokesman, however, the specific agenda for this high-profile visit remains notably opaque, despite President Cirro’s campaign promises of transparency in foreign dealings. As Somaliland’s largest direct foreign investor, the UAE’s commitment is most visibly demonstrated through Dubai-based DP World’s $442 million investment in Berbera Port, transforming it into an emerging regional trade hub. In his election campaign, Abdirahman Cirro was an outspoken critic of the DP World agreement, questioning its transparency and terms. His presence in Abu Dhabi now puts him in the delicate position of either maintaining that critical stance or potentially moderating his position to secure UAE support at a crucial moment in regional politics. The timing of President Abdirahman Cirro’s visit suggests a potential watershed moment in UAE’s Horn of Africa strategy. Following a deadly Al-Shabab attack in February 2024 that killed three Emirati troops and a Bahraini officer, the UAE has largely withdrawn from its engagement with Mogadishu. This tragic incident, coming after years of strained relations marked by Somalia’s 2018 seizure of Emirati funds and pro-Qatar stance, appears to have pushed Abu Dhabi toward a definitive choice. The question now looms: Is the UAE finally abandoning its dual-track approach to embrace Somaliland exclusively, seeing in Berbera’s stability an alternative to Mogadishu’s volatility? The timing of this diplomatic overture gains added significance amid the recent rapprochement between Somalia and Ethiopia. Somaliland’s diplomatic capital has been tested by Ethiopia’s pivot back toward Somalia, effectively shelving the port access memorandum of understanding and strengthening Somalia’s post-ATMIS security architecture. This shifting landscape might paradoxically strengthen Cirro’s negotiating position with the UAE, as Abu Dhabi’s strategic interests in Berbera intersect with rapidly evolving regional dynamics. Adding another layer of intrigue to the visit is the presence of Dr. Abdirahman Duale Beileh, Cirro’s newly appointed Economic Advisor. Beileh, Somalia’s former Finance Minister, received a presidential pardon from former President Muse Bihi before joining Cirro’s administration. Current government officials, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of internal arrangements, describe Beileh as operating as a de facto Finance Minister, though his formal appointment to the cabinet was likely avoided due to his recent Somalia government role and potential political sensitivities. The simultaneous presence of both the Finance Minister and Dr. Beileh in the delegation suggests substantive discussions about expanding UAE’s investment portfolio in Somaliland may be on the undisclosed agenda. Hanging over these discussions is the unresolved status of Berbera Airport. The UAE secured parliamentary approval in 2017 to establish a military base at the facility, but under former President Bihi’s administration, contradictory statements emerged about its intended use – initially announced as a UAE military base, then later described as converted to civilian use after a supposed lease cancellation. Despite significant upgrades, the facility remains largely inactive, its future uncertain. The airport’s strategic significance is underscored by multiple inspection visits from AFRICOM, suggesting broader international interest in its potential military applications. While the official agenda remains undisclosed, Cirro’s delegation composition hints at the visit’s scope and ambition. The presence of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Presidency, Minister of Finance and Economic Development, and notably, the Intelligence Chief suggests discussions will extend far beyond ceremonial pleasantries. The three-day visit also includes scheduled meetings with the substantial Somaliland diaspora community in the UAE, whose remittances form a crucial pillar of Somaliland’s economy. Last year alone, remittances to Somaliland from overseas exceeded $1.3 billion, with a significant portion originating from the Gulf states. The visit raises questions about the broader geopolitical competition in the Horn of Africa. With China maintaining a military base in neighboring Djibouti, and various Gulf states jockeying for influence across the region, Somaliland’s strategic location and deep-water port have turned it into an increasingly important piece on the regional chessboard. The potential shift in U.S. foreign policy under a returning Trump administration, particularly with a more pragmatic State Department leadership, could present Somaliland with additional strategic options for military cooperation beyond current arrangements. However, Somaliland’s leverage in these negotiations may depend on its ability to engage directly with potential partners, particularly the United States, rather than relying on intermediaries like the UAE. As regional dynamics shift and multiple powers express interest in Somaliland’s strategic assets, Hargeisa would be well-served to comprehensively evaluate its options before making binding commitments or overextending its strategic partnerships. As President Abdirahman Cirro settles into his meetings in Abu Dhabi, the key questions remain unanswered, masked by diplomatic protocol and official silence. Will this visit mark the beginning of a deeper strategic partnership? Is the UAE preparing to go all-in on Somaliland? The answers may well shape the future of not just Somaliland, but the entire region.

We are no puppet for Ethiopië we are working our OWN angle and interest

We have always been peacful we are not savages we held 4 different presidential elections one man one vote over 22 years. We are not perfect but we are not puppet.

Somaliland President Irro to Embark on First Foreign Visit to UAE by: Horn Observer Contributor | 26 January 2025 01:24 Somaliland President Abdirahman Abdillahi Irro is set to embark on his first trip outside Somaliland since his election victory in November last year. Hargeisa, Somaliland - Somaliland President Abdirahman Abdillahi Irro is set to embark on his first trip outside Somaliland since his election victory in November last year, Somalia's Kaabtv reported According to sources within the Somaliland presidency, President Irro will visit the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Sunday, following an official invitation from Dubai. Somaliland and the UAE share close ties, with Dubai-based DP World managing Somaliland’s Berbera Port, a key strategic hub in the region. Meanwhile, President Irro has postponed invitations from Ethiopia and Djibouti, prioritizing the UAE visit due to its strategic importance, according to presidential sources. Ethiopia signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Somaliland’s former leader, Muse Bihi Abdi, despite strong objections from Somalia’s federal government. Sources in Hargeisa indicate that the MoU remains in effect, and the new Somaliland administration is exploring ways to engage Ethiopia in discussions to further address the agreement. The MoU grants Ethiopia access to the Red Sea and a 20-kilometer naval base in exchange for Somaliland’s recognition. However, Somaliland’s new Foreign Minister, Abdirahman Dahir Adan, recently stated that the agreement is still under review. Djibouti, on the other hand, has expressed dissatisfaction with the Addis Ababa-Hargeisa MoU, as it poses potential risks to Djibouti’s port operations. Djibouti’s port is heavily relied upon by Ethiopia for imports and exports, and any alternative access through Berbera or other Red Sea routes could significantly impact Djibouti’s revenue from port taxes and fees.

Somaliland President appoints new military and police commanders Thursday January 23, 2025 Hargeisa (HOL) – Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi Irro has appointed Lieutenant General Nimcaan Yusuf Osman Gaaxnuug as the new military commander and Abdirahman Abdillahi Hassan Abdi Dhere as the new police chief. Gaaxnuug, the youngest officer ever appointed to the highest military position, holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree in military science from universities in Ethiopia and the United Kingdom, focusing on international security and military leadership. He is also pursuing a PhD in advanced military studies at a university in Taiwan. Recently, President Irro has appointed several young men to directorial positions across ministries and agencies, signalling a trend toward youth leadership in the government. Abdi Dhere, the new police chief, previously served as the military spokesman and was among the highest-ranking officers in the military. Former police chief Mohamed Aden Saqadhi ‘Dabagale’ has been appointed as the president’s special advisor on police affairs. Dabagale is one of Somaliland’s most seasoned military officers and holds military science degrees from institutions in the United Kingdom. Former military chief Nuuh Ismail Taani, who served as the longest-tenured commander in the military, has also been named as the president’s advisor on military affairs. A Wednesday presidential decree announced a 50% salary increase for the armed forces, fulfilling part of President Irro’s campaign promise to boost army pay. The salary increase, scheduled to take effect in the 2025 fiscal year, is the first of several annual raises the president committed to during his campaign. He had promised a 250% increase in military salaries during his first term. The decree also mandates the implementation of an IRIS Biometric Registration System for all Somaliland armed forces, with registration set to begin on February 1, 2025, and be completed within 30 days.

I am not entirely convinced they are supporters of his rather, they appear to be supporters of the Bunker . Our president, Ciiro, is resolute in his desire not to be associated with such individuals, as he views their actions as damaging to his reputation and, by extension, to the name of Somaliland as a whole. Nacima Qoorane holds the belief that the SNM should never have risen in rebellion against her hero Afweyne. She considers Somaliland's statehood illegitimate and suggests that we should be ruled by Mogadishu and others. Such views are undeniably treasonous in the eyes of Somaliland its people and the goverment . It is utterly inconsistent to claim support for the Somaliland government, a Somaliland party, or the president of Somaliland, while simultaneously opposing the fundamental ideals and principles upon which Somaliland is built. This contradiction renders such a position indefensible. having said that it is entirely understandable why President Ciiro has acted to expel and bar these traitors from Somaliland. No leader within Somaliland can or will endorse those who align themselves with Mogadishu. It is a well established principle within Somaliland: should one choose to depart for Mogadishu, they can never return unless they ask for forgiveness. As for the Qoorane family, their disloyalty is so clear a whole family that consist of traitors . Nacima is not alone in this; her father, too, serves as an MP in the Bunker, further entrenching their alignment with Somalia. Despite her mother’s ill health and the expectation that subclan ties might afford her some leniency, this was not the case because a certain mr dabagale, SL former Police chief ordered her arrest . and she was deported from Somaliland The same with samatalis and others these people never supported the president i dont think nacima supported the president of Somaliland

Well done Somaliland and the new govt

How is this any news didn’t they have this before
