Sunset 1-2-26



Recognizing Somaliland isn’t a radical gamble. It’s a long-overdue admission of reality.

For more than three decades, Somaliland has done what Somalia has not: govern itself, secure its territory, hold elections, and keep jihadists out—without massive U.S. troop deployments or endless foreign aid.

Somaliland is a self-declared independent republic in northwestern Somalia, separate since 1991, with its own stable government, currency, and military, while Somalia is the internationally recognized federal state controlling the rest, often unstable and struggling with militancy, with both entities claiming sovereignty over the same territory.

While Washington kept pretending Mogadishu controlled the map, Somaliland quietly built a functioning state along one of the world’s most strategic waterways.

This isn’t about symbolism or diplomatic etiquette. It’s about rewarding competence over corruption, stability over chaos, and facts over fictions.
