That is pure evil. I am sure such a base would be the most attacked in the world and I would gladly join the attacking party. 

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

I doubt it really they also planning a base in Port Sudan and perhaps even in Eritrea. Israel has completely dismantled Iran’s nuclear programme an outcome I scarcely imagined possible. I never expected Iran to be so vulnerable; its capabilities appear to have been utterly decimated.

“I believe that a serious conversation about U.S. recognition of Somaliland is both necessary to advance clarity about America’s national security interests, and is long overdue. A stable, long-term, and clearly defined partnership between the #U.S. and #Somaliland would be mutually beneficial,Somaliland would be a strong economic partner committed to integrating into the American global security system, which is critical to the safety and prosperity of Americans” - Senator

Trump says U.S. is ‘Looking Into’ Somaliland proposal tied to Gaza refugee plan

 

Saturday August 9, 2025

Washington, D.C. (HOL)  – U.S. President Donald Trump has addressed reports that Somaliland has expressed interest in taking in displaced Gazans in exchange for U.S. recognition of its independence.

The president was asked about the matter on Saturday while signing a peace agreement between the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia, long-time rivals.

“We’re looking into that right now. Good question, actually, and another complex one, but we’re working on that right now,” Trump responds, avoiding a direct answer.

His remarks follow an offer from Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi Cirro, who proposed granting the U.S. a military base in the strategic port city of Berbera and access to valuable mineral resources, including lithium, as part of a broader bid for international recognition.

In an interview with Bloomberg, President Cirro said Somaliland has built “good relations” with both the U.S. Department of Defense and the Department of State, signaling growing ties between the self-declared republic and Washington.

This marks the first time a sitting U.S. president has publicly spoken to the media about Somaliland. Cirro described Trump as a “business-minded” leader with whom his administration could work closely and expressed hope that the United States would become the first country to recognize Somaliland.

Somaliland, which declared independence from Somalia in 1991, has not been recognized by any state. A few months ago, the U.S. ambassador to Somalia warned that recognizing Somaliland could strain relations between Washington and Mogadishu, urging the U.S. to halt discussions on the matter.

Sen. Cruz Calls for U.S. Recognition of Somaliland

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Africa and Global Health Policy, sent a letter to President Trump urging the administration to formally recognize the Republic of Somaliland as an independent state.

Excerpts and highlights from the letter: 

“Somaliland has emerged as a critical security and diplomatic partner for the United States, helping America advance our national security interests in the Horn of Africa and beyond. It is strategically located along the Gulf of Aden, putting it near one of the world’s busiest maritime corridors. It possesses capable armed forces and contributes to regional counterterrorism and piracy operations. It has enabled the opening of a Taiwanese Representative Office in the capital of Hargeisa, sought to strengthen ties with Israel, and voiced support for the Abraham Accords…

“Somaliland faces mounting pressure from adversaries, due in no small part to its role as a partner for the United States and our allies. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is using economic and diplomatic coercion to punish Somaliland for its support for Taiwan, as well as to undermine that support...

“Despite these threats, Somaliland remains committed to forging closer ties with the U.S., and is actively engaged in enhancing military cooperation, counterterrorism efforts, and economy and trade partnerships. To do so to the greatest effect, and the greatest benefit to American national security interests, it requires the status of a state. I urge you to grant it that recognition.”

Kudos to Somaliland. While HSM is busy displacing civilians, Irro admin seems to be making inroads with the neocons and their Zionist allies.

Having said, Irro admin is making four crucial mistakes:

1. Dragging China into the Somalia-Somaliland issue,

2. Offering base to the Americans,

3. And the very mention of Israel which is committing mass genocide,

4. And most importantly, a divided North that will definitely result in new Somali civil war.

These are interesting times indeed the Chinese are a real problem and i believe the USA is really feeling the heat of the Chinese pressence in Africa. The offering of base isnt to Bad though it will make us a hot spot in the region with shabaab in the south houthis in the north. but if America can bring its security forces i think we could manage. A dividing noth is indeed a problem that is a concern for sure . But we are lucky on Somaliland side that  puntland and Jubbaland are at odds with mogadishu admin.

You guys are out of touch to the American reality. Ted Cruise and company will be endangered species in American electoral map very soon. The MAGA crowd isn't interested in dusty places in Africa or even Israel. In terms of base,  Djibouti is 10 minute away to reach Berbera and America doesn't even has the money to open more bases. 

Soon criminal Netanyahu will disapear and all these propoganda will go down with him.

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

I rather doubt that the war in Gaza is close to over, Within Israel, Mr Netanyahu is increasingly perceived as something of a national hero  he has severely weakened Hezbollah nearly destroyed thei leadership nassrallah dead  hamas leader dead , exposed Iran’s vulnerabilities, seized significant portions of Gaza, and displaced much of its population. Meanwhile, the expansion of settlements in the West Bank continues unabated, with little resistance from Washington. The momentum now seems to be gathering towards a far more decisive outcome perhaps even the permanent displacement of the Palestinians and the settlement of Israelis in Gaza once the inhabitants are driven out.

Turning to the United States, the Trump movement is presently preoccupied with resolving the crisis in Ukraine, a venture through which Mr Trump appears intent upon securing for himself the Nobel Peace Prize if he does he has solved the most difficult conflict in recen time. he might even solve the long standing conflict between Somaliland and Somalia and force them into real talks with real results, Similar how Bush administration created the South sudan and Sudan talks in Kenya where collin powell mediated  , i see similar things happening.

Somaliland meanwhile, is enjoying an unprecedented degree of American support. The Democrats, ever hesitant and forever awaiting a miracle from the political bunker in mogadishu, consistently failed to champion its cause. Yet under the new administration, the Somaliland Recognition Act has been introduced, with senators and congressmen openly calling for formal recognition.

This, however, is about more than the establishment of a military base i think. It is equally about countering China’s expanding influence, for Beijing now dominates Kenya, Djibouti, and Ethiopia. Whoever in Somaliland first conceived of forging relations with Taiwan demonstrated remarkable foresight and strategic  thinking it think it was siilaanyo who build the relations and Biixi who brought it forward. The proposed American base is less an end in itself than a means of ensuring a distinct strategic presence one not entangled with the crowded military theatre of Djibouti, where China, Japan, France, and others already compete for space and influence there.
