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.

#Israel’s #Recognition of #Somaliland marks more than a diplomatic breakthrough. It signals a strategic return to the #HornOfAfrica as the #RedSea, #Houthi threat & #Iran reshape Israel’s #security calculations after #October7.

@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.
