A proposed #EastAfricaAlliance would link #Somaliland, #Ethiopia & #SouthSudan through #Berbera, #Trade, #Energy & regional security. Supporters envision #BerberaAddisAbabaJuba corridor, but SL’s unresolved status remains the critical hurdle. @WalidPhares @MadeySiyad @Ahmed_Abdlahi

Why might Washington finally #RecognizeSomaliland? As #RedSea insecurity spreads & competition with #Iran & #China intensifies, #Somaliland’s strategic location & #PortOfBerbera could give the #US a compelling new reason to reconsider its longstanding policy.

@stevenacook argues that #SaudiArabia made a strategic error by opposing #Israel’s recognition of #Somaliland, overlooking new source of pressure on #Houthis & #Iran in #RedSea. The decision reflects #Riyadh’s wider struggle to separate strategic interests from regional rivalries.

#Saudi-#UAE rivalry is no longer confined to #GulfPolitics. From #Yemen & #Sudan to #Somaliland, #Somalia & the #RedSea, #CompetingAlliances & #ProxyStrategies are reshaping #RegionalPower — with the #Poorest populations paying the #HighestPrice.

@mrubin1971 argues that #Washington cannot secure the #RedSea or counter #Iran & the #Houthis w/t embracing #Somaliland. He says #BerberaPort, SL's stability & its pro-Western orientation make it a strategic partner the U.S. can no longer afford to ignore.

@realDonaldTrump says #US will "take care of things" if #Yemen's #HouthisBlockade #RedSea #shipping. As tankers reroute & #OilMarkets react, #Somaliland's #StrategicLocation & #BerberaPort emerge as increasingly important to #RedSeaSecurity & #GlobalTrade.

A new policy analysis argues #Somaliland is already receiving "#OperationalRecognition" through expanding #Security, #Maritime & #Economic partnerships.

A new @EmiratesPolicy report says #Ethiopia & #Somaliland are most likely to expand #Economic & #MaritimeCooperation through #BerberaPort w/t immediate diplomatic recognition, citing regional #Geopolitics, #RedSeaSecurity & #AddisAbaba's long-term search for reliable #SeaAccess.

A retired U.S. intelligence officer @emiliotgonzalez says #Washington should recognize #Somaliland, arguing that #Berbera's #StrategicLocation could secure #BabElMandebStrait, counter #China & #Iran, strengthen #Counterterrorism efforts & advance #America's long-term security interests in the #HornOfAfrica.

An #Israeli @real_IHN_isback is urging #Somaliland to protect its #Sovereignty as int'l interest in the territory grows.
