However, some analysts are afraid that Somaliland was violating the region, as Al Shabb, and the United States, which are concerned about the Egyptian, Turkey and African Union, can close US allies as partners in Africa.

Timing can be good. Reviewing Trump management To close the Embassy of MogadishThe capital of Somalia, asked for security risks. Houthis’s sustainable attacks increased the concern of an international shipping and instability in the region. As China Trade War warms, a new US share in the continent can help China.

Mr. Abdullahi plans to visit Washington in the coming months. The agreement presented, includes a US military base on the coast of 500 miles of the area embracing the Gulf of Aden. This type of entrance would be a critical attendance at a strategic vantage point to monitor a large shipping route and monitoring conflict In the region including Somalia.

Last month in Hargeisa, Edna Adan was sorted by the piles of folders in the office.

However, there is no country, a country that signs the ability to sign security contracts and access international markets, to officially participate in its ability to provide global recognition International Sports or Properly handle the airspace.

“We have rejected our voice,” said Adan. “We rejected from one place to explain our story.”

Somaliland took a risk of the former president until last year, until last year’s global focus on independence. On January 1, he said it was Somaliland in 2024 Signed the deal To allow a marine unit on the coastal line in exchange for the recognition of Ethiopia.

Ethiopia is never open to recognize Somaliland as an independent state. But the contract was on the way a large diplomatic and military posture Comezes with Somalia and Ethiopia’s long-lasting enemies, Eritrea and Egypt have been raised in a wider regional confrontation. After the Turkish mediation, Somalia and Ethiopia agreed to end their disputes in December.

However, there is another impact from the stand: Somaliland’s strategic assets, including natural resources, are noteworthy.

Saturday’s Prime Minister of Somalia, Somali State News Agency arrived in the controversial area for the planned trip declareAn action of Somaliland’s Foreign Ministry named “Provocative” and “term”.

“If the United States is recognizing Somalia, it will be seen as a great decline for China,” he said. “Somalia should fall down this path, it is involved in the fight against China, which will never run.”

In addition to the fact that Somaliland’s recognition can plant long-term problems in the region, some analysts say this can link to US sections.

Without the support of Bipartisan, Somaliland can be seen as a pet for Republicans, and leads to a decline in future democratic management.
