These tyrants want to stay and accumulate wealth. Hence they don't want to see any system that empower Muslim societies. And they want to rob people, they took tons of gold from Sudanese mines.

Saudi Arabia doesn't support secessionist movements. It wants to control the ruling elite. UAE is creating chaos in order to extract resources and control the Redsea access with support from Israel and US. But it looks like they don't have the muscle or desire to confront their more powerful neighbors HSM government support this move meaning he no longer has their support. Like Farmaajo, he can ask them to leave Somalia. There's a talk of granting Turks a base in Las Qorey.

Saudi Arabia and the internationally recognized Yemeni gave UAE 24 hours to vacate Yemen after the UAE supported secessionists Yemeni Forces started capturing vast areas of Yemen. Saudis hit military supplies given by UAE. UAE announced their withdrawal after the strikes.

LOL Xaaji Waraabe waa reer Ben Haashim, he can't switch to reer Ben Israel now.

Prof. James Ker-Lindsay Will Trump Finally Recognise Somaliland? yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8xoQU1w_r8

Yahuud "commentators" are now trashing Somaliland saying it is nothing more than a launchpad for attacks on the Houthis.

The rhetoric raining down on Somalis, attacks on Ilham Omer, trash-talking Somalia was ALL for this purpose. George Galloway on X: "The rhetoric raining down on Somalis, attacks on Ilham Omer, trash-talking Somalia was ALL for this purpose" / X

Netanyahu is meeting Trump today. The Gulf Arabs won't do a thing, but Houthis don't bluff. They act on what they say.

Any Israeli presence in Somaliland will be a ‘target’: Houthi leader Any Israeli presence in Somaliland will be a ‘target’: Houthi leader WWW.ALJAZEERA.COM Israel on Friday announced it is officially recognising Somaliland, a first for the self-proclaimed republic since 1991. Somalis are effed.

It was indeed well planned. I was taken back by people being interviewed profusely thanking Yahuuda and others calling them blood brothers or being descended from the same people. Landers have internalized the political differences and turned it into identity issue. Their leaders have done them a great disservice.

Wow

I share your sentiment, but I think the best HSM can do now is resign and lay the groundwork for new government. We were behind him when Muse tried to sign away the 20 KM long Somali coast. HSM humiliated the nation by eventually running to Abiy . It's worthy mentioning Ethiopia never nullified the MoU. It should be noted other governments informed the Somali government this was coming yet HSM admin did nothing.

The leadership in Hargeysa were in a pickle. War was going to come to Hargeysa if they didn't make some significant move that gave hope to the public. But yes, this is tragic. I would never imagined Somalis celebrating Netanyahu and his gang of killers. More than anything else, Xamar is to blame.

Anything he does will be performative. There's no way he didn't know about this.

Mohamed Farmaajo on X: "International law requires Israel to comply and respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Somalia. Recognizing a part of Somalia is a complete breach of this. Somaliland is an integral part of Somalia. Our people are firmly united in the defence of their sovereignty." / X

He's not coming back. I would be very surprised if he does. I do expect one thing. HSM will try to beat Cirro to Jerusalem.

You are giving HSM too much credit. He literally does not care about anything. He wouldn't mind if Somalia disappears as long as he keeps his loot. It baffles me how someone be so greedy, cruel, and shameless. Reer Khaatumo made their decision. I doubt they will go back on it. As for Jubaland and Pland, the general public is what matters regardless of Deni's and Madoobe's intentions.

Mogadishu is useless. I am more concerned about the non-Issak clans in the North would react. Reer Awdal are no position to resist considering what's going on. The rest are obviously not keen on the idea. The morons in Garowe and Kismayo are also getting ideas now. But in the larger context, this would pose a big headache to AU and subsequently UN considering how fragile things are in Ethiopia and the rest of the Horn. Somaliland was mentioned in 2025 American Right-Wing project. This seems coordinated. This makes Israeli made the first move considering how they flaunt every International Law.

Israel becomes first country to recognize Somaliland as independent state Hargeisa (HOL) — Israel on Friday became the first country to formally recognize the Republic of Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state, marking a major diplomatic milestone for the self-declared republic more than three decades after it broke away from Somalia. The recognition was announced Dec. 26, 2025, following a videoconference meeting between Somaliland President Mohamed Abdullahi “Cirro” and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to statements from both governments. The decision was formalized through a joint declaration of mutual recognition. advertisements Israeli officials said the declaration was signed by Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar and the Somaliland president and provides for the establishment of full diplomatic relations, including the exchange of ambassadors and the opening of embassies. In an official declaration issued by the Office of the President, Somaliland said it “warmly welcomes and deeply appreciates the historic and principled decision by the State of Israel to officially recognize its sovereignty and independence,” describing the move as a milestone in its long pursuit of international legitimacy. “This recognition represents a milestone in Somaliland’s longstanding pursuit of international legitimacy, reaffirming its historical, legal, and moral entitlement to statehood,” the statement said, adding that it reflects mutual respect and shared interests between the two sides. Netanyahu said the move reflects growing political, diplomatic and strategic alignment between Israel and Somaliland. “This declaration is in the spirit of the Abraham Accords,” Netanyahu said, referring to the U.S.-brokered agreements that normalized relations between Israel and several Arab states. He congratulated the Somaliland president and praised his leadership and commitment to promoting stability and peace. Somaliland’s presidential statement said the recognition underscores Somaliland’s record as “a stable, democratic, and responsible partner in the Horn of Africa,” and opens a new chapter for cooperation in security, diplomacy and development. Israel said it plans to immediately expand cooperation with Somaliland in agriculture, health, technology and economic development. Netanyahu also extended a formal invitation to the Somaliland president to visit Israel for further discussions on shared interests and priority issues. In response to Israel’s decision, Somaliland said it intends to accede to the Abraham Accords, describing the framework as a platform for cooperation, dialogue and regional peace. The statement said Somaliland is committed to building constructive partnerships, promoting shared prosperity and contributing to peace and stability across the Middle East and Africa. Sa’ar said relations between Israel and Somaliland had taken shape over the past year through sustained dialogue. He said his ministry had been instructed to move quickly to institutionalize ties across a wide range of sectors. “We will work together to promote relations between our countries and peoples, regional stability and economic prosperity,” Sa’ar said. Netanyahu also thanked Sa’ar, Mossad Director David Barnea and Israel’s intelligence services for their role in advancing the agreement, while wishing the people of Somaliland “success, prosperity and freedom.” Somaliland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the announcement, saying momentum was building and that further official statements were expected. Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 after the collapse of Somalia’s central government. It has since maintained its own government, security institutions and electoral processes, but until now had not received formal recognition from any country. The Federal Government of Somalia, which considers Somaliland an integral part of its territory, is expected to issue an official response to Israel’s announcement.

Good on Somaliland. Who can deal with the Mogadishu? Having said that, I see more conflicts coming in the North. I imagine mini-Isreal [UAE] will be next to recognize Hargeisa. So, Xaaji, what's Isreal is getting in return?

My buddy is telling me that there is effective fire fight inside the city neighborhoods as of tonight. Does anyone know what's happening? And how did things deteriorate so badly in 48 hours?

It's amazing seeing Trump humiliating Arabs and Europeans. The only true sovereign nations are China, Russia, and lesser extent Iranian.
