  9. This piece argues that #Somaliland’s @Abdirahmanirro visit to #Israel reflects a growing strategic alignment linking #Israel, #india, #UAE, #Greece & #Somaliland. The emerging partnership could reshape #RedSeaSecurity, #TradeRoutes & regional #Geopolitics.

  18. A discreet #Israel delegation stayed nearly a month in #Hargeisa, #Somaliland before recognition, conducting #intelligence vetting & assessing #security risks tied to #extremist networks. Here’s how quiet diplomacy reshaped #RedSea #geopolitics.

  19. The site of said base/station would also be contentious, as a similar Ethiopian plan revived Gadabuursi-Issa tensions in the #Awdal (West) region of #Somaliland, and ignited a proxy war with former Somaliland ally #Djibouti. #FRUD now openly supports Somaliland, while Djibouti has been claimed to train Awdal militias on its soil. Awdal has very recently known its own Las Anod moment with non-Issa protests in capital Borama leading to security forces firing on the crowd (19 dead).

    „Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Somalia's capital to protest Israel's recognition of the self-declared Republic of Somaliland, waving Somali flags and chanting patriotic songs in a show of national unity.“

    »Israel's formal recognition of Somaliland prompted claims by Somalia's president that Israel had reached an agreement with the breakaway republic to resettle Palestinians from Gaza or establish an Israeli military base there as part of an effort to destabilize the region. Somaliland rejected the assertions as 'baseless allegations'«

  23. Reports on #Somalia's new entry ban for #Taiwan passports fail to explain Taiwan's advice against citizens visiting #defacto independent #Somaliland too. Missing piece: Per UN's #ICAO, Somaliland airspace (but not airports, land borders) falls under #Mogadishu air traffic control.

  24. As Jaffa Tel Aviv and Washington, DC, quietly court #Somaliland as a destination for Gaza’s displaced, this British-controlled enclave on the Red Sea emerges as both a strategic imperial launchpad and a potential open-air prison for Palestinians – armed, trained, and surveilled by London: thecradle.co/articles/sights-s

  25. Last year, #Djibouti had supported #Somaliland against the #Puntland-supported #Dhulbahante clan. The latter, which fought to escape state repression and a possible #genocide, has since routed Somaliland’s army, founded the region of #SSCKhatumo and officially rejoined #Somalia.

    #Ethiopia

  26. An immediate consequence has been for former #Somaliland ally #Djibouti to support #Awdal’s #Gadabuursi clan against Hargeisa. The site of the Ethiopian naval base, on Gadabuursi territory, is located at barely 25 km from Djibouti’s border.

    #Somalia #Ethiopia

  27. The setting up of an Ethiopian naval base in Zeila, #Awdal, has been the main focus of Somali outcry against #Ethiopia’s encroachment of her sovereignty. It has also brought into question whether #Turkey would be obliged to intervene against it, after the naval MoU signed with #Somalia over the training of a Somali maritime force, the protection and exploitation of the Somali EEZ.

    #Somaliland #Djibouti

  28. The Somali response had initially been exceptionally firm and her position strong on all accounts. #Somaliland was uniquely weakened to begin with, including on account of #SSCKhatumo’s secession last August. The MoU also weakened #Awdal’s loyalty. All of #Somalia’s partners and major international organizations sided with Mogadiscio, including #Ethiopia’s all-weather partner #China. Ethiopia seemed to hesitate.

  29. A stray #Houthi missile landed in #Somalia

    Despite initial reports the object may have been an Ethiopian drone, authorities from #SSCKhatumo - the region that seceded from #Somaliland and reunited with Somalia last year - confirmed it was a Houthi missile. It made no casualties.

    #Ethiopia #Yemen

  30. One way forward could be a dialogue with Mogadiscio, that seemed to have been miraculously restarted last year — two days before the Ethiopian MoU was inked. It nevertheless proved federal #Somalia was willing to go in that direction. Another clue is the lack of federal funding allocated to #SSC-#Khatumo so far. Whether memory of the #Ishaaq #genocide can be grappled with and relations normalized, within or outside of federal Somalia, is another issue entirely.

    #Somaliland #Ethiopia #SSCKhatumo

  31. They follow in that the example of the #Dhulbahante, which managed to defeat #Somaliland’s army with the support of #Puntland last August, and were formally reunited as the 6th region of federal #Somalia in October (#SSC-#Khatumo).
