Ethiopia's recognition of the Republic of Somaliland sets a precedent, inspiring other nations to recognize Somaliland's sovereignty. Much like Serbia's stance on Kosovo, Somalia's rejection doesn't deter Somaliland's statehood. The Republic of Somaliland controls its territory!

BRICS Policy Dialogue Officials touch base in Hargeisa, holding undisclosed talks with President @musebiihi & Somaliland's Foreign Affairs Minister. With recent high-profile Chinese meetings, questions arise about Western nations' engagement. The diplomatic landscape is shifting!

Even though including Somaliland in the NDAA was a historic move, the President of the United States made a mistake by not inviting the HoA's blossoming democracy, Somaliland, to the 2022 U.S.-Africa summit. @POTUS @SecBlinken @CNN

Ethiopia has agreed to meet Somalia face-to-face for the first time, following Somalia's request and Turkiye’s mediation. While a positive step, sources note no further progress yet. This week’s talks are key and could finalize the Somaliland-Ethiopia MoU.

Tensions are rising between Djibouti and Somaliland, whose leaders have accused each other of destabilisation. Djibouti denies any ill intent towards its neighbour, but is having trouble digesting a deal Somaliland signed with Ethiopia in January.

Ethiopia and Sudan's challenges to the upcoming IGAD meeting in Uganda, with agenda items focusing on them, may turn it into a mere photo opportunity unless other member states opt to defer the summit, diminishing its diplomatic impact.

As the Federal Government of Somalia seizes control of the majority of Al-Shabaab terrorists' strongholds, which are affiliated with Al-Qaeda & ISIS, the Horn of Africa's terrorist groups seek new bases. Security cooperation and greater vigilance are required from the HoA states.

China stands for the UN Charter and supports countries in safeguarding sovereignty and territorial integrity. Somaliland is part of Somalia. The world today has seen too many tragedies of wars and conflicts. People want peace and development through dialogue and cooperation.
