Netanyahu for, Trump against: Why are nations divided over recognizing Somaliland

Netanyahu for, Trump against: Why are nations divided over recognizing Somaliland

Published by Parlour News

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was the first to recognise Somaliland as an “independent and sovereign state”, decades after the region has been vying for the recognition since 1991 when it unilaterally seceded from Somalia. People of Somaliland gathered to celebrate Israel’s announcement of recognising Somaliland’s statehood on December 26, 2025.(AFP) The territory is located in the Horn of Africa, in the northwestern part of Somalia, sharing coastline with the Gulf of Aden and bordering Djibouti. “I congratulated the President of Somaliland, Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdallah, and praised his leadership and commitment to promoting stability and peace. I invited the President to pay an official visit to Israel,” Netanyahu wrote in a post on X. However, his move did not sit well with several nations across the world, including Israel’s staunchest ally United States. ‘Just say, No’ United States President Donald Trump, when asked about whether he would follow Israel into recognizing Somaliland as a sovereign state, did not sound enthusiastic about the idea and said that he has to “study” his Israel’s pitch on …

President Donald Trump speaks during an event on “Trump Accounts” for kids in the Roosevelt Room of the White House as Michael Dell and his wife, Susan look on, Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo) President Donald Trump during a lengthy Cabinet meeting on Tuesday said he did not want Somali immigrants in the U.S., saying residents of the war-ravaged eastern African country are too reliant on US social safety net and add little to the United States. The president’s comment came days after his administration announced they are halting all asylum decisions following the shooting of two National Guard soldiers in Washington. The suspect in last week’s incident is originally from Afghanistan but Trump has used the moment to raise questions about immigrants from other nations, including Somalia. “They contribute nothing. The welfare is like 88% or something. They contribute nothing. I don’t want them in our country,” He said. “Their country is no good for a reason. Your country stinks and we don’t want them in our country.” Disclaimer: We do …

Sudan, Somalia Or Somaliland? US, Israel Turn To Africa For Gaza Relocation

Sudan, Somalia Or Somaliland? US, Israel Turn To Africa For Gaza Relocation

Published by Webster

Jerusalem: The US and Israel have reached out to officials of three East African governments to discuss using their territories as potential destinations for resettling Palestinians uprooted from the Gaza Strip under President Donald Trump’s proposed postwar plan, American and Israeli officials told The Associated Press. The contacts with Sudan, Somalia and the breakaway region of Somalia known as Somaliland reflect the determination by the US and Israel to press ahead with a plan that has been widely condemned and raised serious legal and moral issues. Because all three places are poor, and in some cases wracked by violence, the proposal also casts doubt on Trump’s stated goal of resettling Gaza’s Palestinians in a “beautiful area.” Officials from Sudan said they have rejected overtures from the US, while officials from Somalia and Somaliland told The Associated Press that they were not aware of any contacts. Under Trump’s plan, Gaza’s more than 2 million people would be permanently sent elsewhere. He has proposed the US would take ownership of the territory, oversee a lengthy cleanup process …
