Israel becomes first country to recognise Somaliland

[Blain2]

Leave it to them to create fitna around the globe. Any opportunity to instigate, there they are.

Recently in United Nations, Sunni country Somalia used its vote against Iran (to activate snap back sanctions against Iran).

God knows which other Sunni and zionist countries pushed them to do that, but once you play these games you will burn yourself.

And why are you sitting in judgement of the Somalis? The RSS bastards in your country openly support mass Palestinian and Muslim genocide so what moral high ground does India/Indians have here to criticize Somalia and how it votes?

We are witnessing a significant potential realignment in the Horn of Africa that goes far beyond bilateral relations. The warming ties between Israel and Somaliland and the formal diplomatic recognition by Israelis indicate a major strategic play in the broader Middle East and Red Sea security architecture.

Here is the breakdown of why this matters:

1. The Strategic Imperative (The 'Why'): For Israel, especially in a post-October 7 world, securing the Red Sea shipping lanes against Houthi (and by extension, Iranian) threats is existential. Somaliland, which functions as an independent state and controls crucial coastline along the Gulf of Aden, offers a stable, strategically located partner outside the immediate hostile neighborhood. It is a modern revival of Israel’s classic 'Periphery Doctrine.'

2. The UAE Factor & The New Alliance Bloc: One cannot view this in a vacuum. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the crucial linchpin here. The UAE is already a major power broker in Somaliland (managing the Berbera Port) and is Israel’s key partner in the Abraham Accords. We are seeing the consolidation of an Israel-UAE axis projecting power into Africa. They are aligning their interests to secure waterways and counter common adversaries.

3. The Counter-Alignment: This emerging bloc is moving directly against opposing forces in the region:

Iran & The Houthis: An Israeli foothold in Somaliland complicates Iran’s efforts to dominate the Red Sea via its proxies in Yemen.

Turkey & Qatar: These nations are heavy backers of the central government in Somalia (Mogadishu), competing with the UAE for influence across the Horn.

The Bottom Line: If Israel has recognised Somaliland, it challenges international norms (the African Union and UN recognise a unified Somalia) but acknowledges the reality on the ground. It is a high-stakes move to cement a pro-Western, anti-Iran alliance commanding the southern gate of the Red Sea. The chessboard is being rearranged.

As long as Israel acts like a colonial dagger in the Middle East, that region will be in turmoil. Hopefully, Israel's 'Somaliland' move will backfire like attacking Qatar a few months ago.

What did we say? Palestine is only the beginning. Israeli ambitions go far beyond its borders. Everyone watched Palestine crumble. We warned that inaction will cost Islamic countries their own neck. Well, you are starting to see a glimpse of what is in store.

When the northern fronts in Lebanon and Syria folded, the Gaza war was essentially over. But, hey, 'freedom' came to Syria, right?!

Well I don't think we will. And I don't think we should. But if our governments decide to go for it,well they might as well go for it. I don't know if the ones are a bit different from Somalis in general,I'm not fond of Somalis. Generally very criminal and entitled people those who come to Europe illegally or under the pretext of being refugees or asylum seekers.

I wouldn't want to support any plan that wants to move Palestinians from the Holy Land to any other place. That would be a disaster.

As per this Indian source, this will be the destination for Palestinians.

Not impossible but I don't see Israelis have the balls to displace the nearly 2 million Gazans anywhere. Sooner or later, there are going to be deployments of Islamic militaries in Gaza between the IDF and the Gazans and even if that doesn't happen, the Gazan resistance still has enough firepower to kill many Israelis before the logistics for any displacement could be worked out.

I am not following the so-called 'Somaliland' thread until just now. My guess would be to neutralize the Yemeni threat to the Red Sea/Israel as the number one objective with possibly also preventing any Turkish gains in Somalia.

I think Greece is being co-opted by Israel to take on Turkey, whether they privately wish to or not I think they may end up doing so from momentum.

This is unfortunate for Greece, I do not believe the soul of the nation fits to this

At this stage, I do not disregard any Machiavellisn, unethical and inhuman change in the world, if they see an open door, they will tirelessly plan to make it happen

With perfect timing the bad Somali press

This looks fake. The Afghan Taliban have their own white flag; they don't use the traditional Afghan national flag.
Not that it would matter if and when the Afghan Taliban would recognize 'Somaliland' or not (they probably won't).

The Gazans are not going anywhere anytime soon.

I think you are right, it was not legitimate
