The current geo-politics of the horn of Africa and strategic position of Somaliland in the gulf of Aden as well as its proximity to the choke point of Bab- Almandam, an important shipping route in the region, vital for international trade and energy shipment.
Nearly 35 percent of global container trade passes through Bab almandab. Without a doubt this encouraged Israel to make a swift move to establish diplomatic relationship by recognizing Somaliland as a full sovereign and independent nation, challenging the status quo in the region, and marking a historic shift in international diplomacy and opening the door for new alliances.
In addition the government of Israel underscores its readiness to assist Somaliland in the areas of agricultural technology and water management systems of which Somaliland will surely benefit from such collaboration.
Verbatim, here is how this ground breaking event that was seen on a video call on the morning of December 26, 2025.The president of Somaliland and the prime minister of Israel while talking to the president of Somaliland had this to say over the phone,
"Before anything else I want you to know that I am signing now as we speak Israel’s official recognition of Somaliland and its right to self-determination, our friendship is seminal and historic. So I am very happy and very proud of this day. I want to wish you and the people of Somaliland the very best”
According to the Africa News Channel, while responding to a question whether the United States would recognize Somaliland as an independent country.
President Donald Trump made a statement that has sent shock waves in East Africa.. He said America is looking into it and that recognition of Somaliland is possibility. Not a denial, not a dismissal, a possibility.
At the same time a separate development intensified a speculation further. A video has emerged showing a separate American delegate on the ground of Somaliland.
Their presence alone has created some suspicion that Washington might be quietly moving from active observation to active engagement. Therefore the question many are asking is simple, yet deeply consequential. Is the United States preparing to redraw the political map of the horn of Africa.
Somaliland suffered thirty five years of isolation. In one stroke of a pen, the Government of Israel became the first nation to officially recognize the Republic of Somaliland as an independent and sovereign nation.
As result of this historic event the ongoing paradox of federal Republic of Somalia claiming that Somaliland is a part of Somalia was completely shattered and the capital city of Somaliland Hargeisa became the most watched cities in the horn of Africa as the people burst with an overwhelming and intense jubilation across all the cities of entire Somaliland.
The domino effect
As tor Somaliland the weight of this moment is very important. This diplomatic undertaking by Israel not only offers recognition, but possibility of prouder international engagement in global politics, and for Israel the move allainces with wide and expanding strategic ties beyond traditional engagement of diplomatic partners, practically in a region with a significant importance specially on ties with economic and security issues. Given these analysis there is a wide speculations that the governments of Ethiopia, South Sudan and India will follow suit .
In addition Greece and Qubrus supported the decision of Israel to recognizing Somaliland is much needed challenge against the Hegemony of Turkey in Somalia. These two nations went on to express their desire to engage Somaliland.
The latest development in the media confirms that Israel will be rewarded as the Republic of Somaliland in return will allow Israel to use the old post of Zaila for intelligent gathering.
The port of Zaila processes significant strategic implications and within very close proximity to Bab Al Mandab. For Israel it is akin to dream come true. This will definitely give Israel a much needed strategic depth.
This eventful ground breaking news did not sit well with several nations in the region. Egypt, Somalia, Turkey and Djibouti.
These four countries are sounding alarm with respect to Israeli recognition of Somaliland, citing existential threat, Turkey claims this amounts to red line while Egypt and Arab league condemn as an attack on Arab national security and the federal republic of Somalia is very furious citing an attack on its territorial integrity, and had already commenced its habitual chest beating at the gates of the international organizations.
Somalia requested an urgent meeting from the Arabword , Organisation of African Union and United Nations., intended to address the Israeli attack to its sovereignty, national unity and territorial integrity.
Both Arab world and AU did not respond. However the UN security held an emergency meeting on December 30, 2025. Many countries characterized the actions of Israel as unlawful supported the case of the federal Republic of Somalia. However, the US support for Israel was firm and unwavering. The US representative of United States
strongly reiterated that the government of Israel has a right to enter diplomatic relations with any nation in the world. This clearly confirms that the government of United States of America is in support of Israel recognizing the Republic of Somaliland.
Conclusion
Rage Omar, a senior journalist and native Somaliland who appeared on The African News Channel as a guest, his statement is germane in this context. Here is what he had to Say:
"In some ways the independent Somaliland is in the best interest of all Somali people, it is a place were they can come and do business, it is a place were they can seek security, it is a place were they trade with the outside world, it is place were they can educate their children, so until all Somalis where ever they live see that actually in their personal and families interest to have this country called Somaliland independent where they benefit from, that is the point I think at which the rest of the international community will also turn towards Somalia and say the independence of Somaliland is actually the solution to peoples problems in the region and internationally.’
I think heis alluding to the fact that Somaliland recognition may act as the missing remedy for Mogadishu Somalia to eventually wake up and strive for peace and establish sound governance. This is possible, particularly when the sole realizes the issue in pursuit cannot be realized . Some dormant sense wake up and guide the sole to the sound path. Let us hope so.
Notwithstanding hyperbole diplomatic out carry of the Federal Republic of Somalia regarding the recognition of Somaliland as The international community can no longer ignore the ongoing progress of Somaliland. It is an entity that works, despite its meagre economy. All government organs are functioning adequately. Stability and peace is prevailing through out of the country, while Somalia has failed assume the security of the country outside Mogadishu. In Somaliland Democracy is flourishing through multi-party system. Elections were held at presidential, parliamentarian and municipal levels;
