Wariyuhu Fikradi dhan ee Video ga aan u sameeyay toos bu ugu nuuxnuuxsaday, Qoralki tweet ka ku qorna na kor bu u akhriyay 🙏🏾 Fariintaas way Gudubtay. The Whole Purpose of the Video and the Tweet 👉🏾Who earns American Partnership, Somaliland or Somalia? 👉🏾How and in what ways is Somaliland different from Somalia? After delivering the distinction, not only by pointing at the flag but also by highlighting Somaliland’s achievements, he loudly read this part and then asked the question right after: "Somaliland National Army receives zero support, aid, or contributions from any foreign government, while maintaining zero piracy, terrorism, or instability, demonstrating a strong commitment to USA partnerships and remaining free from China’s influence." I was very happy he read this part loudly and then asked the right question: - Who earns American Partnership, Somaliland or Somalia? Here is everything the USA would like and want to see in Somaliland and ny partner country in strategic location : No piracy. No terrorists. No aid or external support. Strong commitment to USA No China influence. Meanwhile, Somalia, despite the billions the USA has kept pouring into it, is still struggling with all these issues. As President Trump said, they are totally two different countries. #Somaliland #Hargeisa #DonaldTrump #USA #SomalilandRecognition #USSomalilandRelations #HornOfAfrica

The Ethiopian ambassador has just echoed one of Somalia’s strategies: bargaining with the world against Somaliland, a narrative that seems to be falling apart. It appears Ethiopia is echoing Muqdisho’s narrative of using Al-Shabaab’s existence as a bargaining chip in the region. The argument is that recognising Somaliland would empower Al-Shabaab and break the fragile stability inside Somalia. What should Ethiopia be more worried about internal eruptions, its northern frontier, or Al-Shabaab inside Somalia? The Somalian president Hassan has repeated this claim multiple times in interviews, both during the 2024 MoU crisis and following Israel’s recognition in 2025. Everyone else rejected these claims. The idea itself has been debunked by reality, exposing how poorly informed the world was about the situation. It would be very unfortunate if Ethiopia fell for the same narrative. - On 14 August 2025, Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz @tedcruz pushed Somaliland’s recognition to the highest level, sending a letter to Donald Trump @POTUS @realDonaldTrump urging him to recognise Somaliland. - The very next day, on 15 August, Somalia’s ambassador to the US used the same bargaining tactic, warning that any move against Somalian unity could allow Al-Shabaab to take over. - On 26 December 2025, Somaliland received its first recognition from Israel. So, did Al-Shabaab get enough of a boost to take over Muqdisho or attack Somaliland? Ironically, Israel’s @gidonsaar response to these claims was that refusing to recognise Somaliland could allow terrorism to expand. Ethiopia @AbiyAhmedAli is failing to read the room, and that is precisely what has brought it to where it is today. For Somaliland, recognition may once have seemed like a gamble that could cost it land. But the stakes are no longer the same. In fact, Somaliland has become an increasingly important strategic outlet for Ethiopia, particularly for trade and access to the sea when every where else is blocked.
