Today






While the world debated the 'legality' of Somaliland, Israel identified its utility. This is the difference between a state that shapes its destiny and those who merely endure it.

​Israel didn't just recognize a nation they secured a vital piece of the global maritime puzzle that Ethiopia and others fumbled. By offering a naval base and a gateway to the sea, we provided a golden key to regional dominance. Ethiopia stared at the door, paralyzed by fear and hesitation, while Israel walked right through it.


​Today, Tel Aviv holds the strategic advantage we offered on a silver platter. Israel’s intelligence, technology, and regional influence are now anchored in our territory, creating a 'Berbera Axis' that redefines power in the Horn of Africa.

For Ethiopia, this is the cost of being stupid and slow, we don't wait fools : the naval base they didn't have the courage to claim is now the cornerstone of Israel’s Red Sea security strategy.
​Some wait for the future; others, like Israel, arrive early and claim it.

Israel has, to a significant extent, become a diplomatic pariah since the outbreak of the war. Apart from US President Joe Biden's visit on 18 October 2023, just over a week after the attacks of 7 October, very few heads of state or government have chosen to visit the country. the secessionist hargeisa are the second, israel is much isolated

I do not believe the situation is likely to alter the broader regional landscape in any meaningful way. There is little that Israel can realistically do at this stage. While the recognition of Somaliland has been discussed in some circles, it seems highly improbable that other states would follow suit, including countries such as the UAE or Ethiopia.

Ethiopia, in particular, would be extremely reluctant to pursue any policy perceived as undermining Somalia's territorial integrity. The African Union is headquartered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia maintains troops in Somalia, and Somalia remains strategically important to Ethiopian security interests. Although Addis Ababa briefly flirted with the Memorandum of Understanding with Somaliland, external actors quickly exerted pressure. Turkey and China reportedly made it clear that proceeding further could have serious consequences. Egypt would likely deepen its engagement with Somalia, Ethiopia could face diplomatic isolation within the African Union, and Turkey might reconsider its military support, including the provision of drones and other defence equipment.

In many respects, Somalia outmanoeuvred both Ethiopia and Somaliland diplomatically. As for Israel, it is difficult to see what meaningful leverage or assistance it could offer Somaliland under the current circumstances. the E visa is still in place Khatumo state is still strong , possible conflict between the gadabuuris and isaaq might re accure , there were some conflicts in sheikh as well.

Neither Somaliland nor Israel cares diplomatic bulshiiit. We choose israel to solve of all our problems at once.

1. Water development: from now on we will have the technical capabilities to drill Kms deep and turn our semi arid land to a sustainable ecosystem. Large scale enough to boost our population and farmlands.

2. Defence technology : without buying useless tanks or fighter jets . We will focus on Drones that can reach any where we want. And Israel is happy to work with us in this field. Low cost and very effective.

3. Aviation: We offer Israeli business community to establish an exclusive transit hub for us directly from berbera Airport to Israel. 90% of our diaspora are more than happy to take this new route. A big lose for Ethiopia again. Because many use Addis and jijiga now.

4. We can use Israel to Access American core institutions. Including their Congress.

I can go on and on how we can use Israel as a leverage to reach beyond you can imagine now. No body sees us as a joke any more. We can be direct threat to any one who fk with us including your tiny Djibouty Oven.
