The Republic of Somaliland reasserted its independence on May 18, 1991, building on its sovereign status first achieved on June 26, 1960, when it gained independence from the United Kingdom. It is essential for the international community to understand that Somaliland is not a breakaway state from Somalia. Rather, it was an independent country that voluntarily entered into a union with the former Italian Somalia—a union that was never legally ratified and eventually failed....

African Food Security launches a sustainable farming initiative in Somaliland to boost local agriculture and food security through community partnerships.

The latest failed attempt by Somalia’s government to block President Muse Bihi Abdi’s successor, President Muse Irro, from visiting Kenya in May 2025 offers yet another clear window into the deep-seated resentment and unprovoked hostility Somaliland faces—simply for existing, governing effectively, and engaging the world as a responsible and dignified actor. The diplomatic ruckus surrounding Irro’s Nairobi visit, where Somalia demanded Kenya deny him entry or restrict his diplomatic engagements, fell on deaf ears....

Hargeisa, April 16, 2025 – In a move that signals the end of a decades-long diplomatic balancing act, the Republic of Somaliland has formally withdrawn from dialogue with Somalia, following what it describes as a “flagrant provocation” by the Prime Minister of Somalia, who visited the city of Las Anod on April 12, 2025. The Somaliland Council of Ministers, in an emergency session convened today, issued a communique condemning the visit as an “unlawful breach of international norms and an incitement to conflict.” Las Anod, a city within the internationally recognized borders of Somaliland, has been a flashpoint in recent years amid renewed tribal and political tensions....

After years of building relationships with congressional Republicans and conservative think tanks, officials in Somaliland believe President Trump will grant their ultimate wish: statehood. The Cold War-era airstrip, its asphalt gleaming in the sunlight, stretched toward the coastline on the Horn of Africa. A few miles away, dock workers unloaded cargo at a port on the Gulf of Aden, a vital global shipping route frequently under attack by Houthi rebels from Yemen....
