According to the Bloomberg agency, elected last autumn Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullah, also known as IRRO, lobby in Washington with the support of the efforts of this semi -automatic region to recognize him as a sovereign state. In May, in an interview with the British “The Guardian” Irro admitted that he convinced American diplomats and politicians, and “recognition is on the horizon.”
In return, Somaliland offers Americans access to Berber's airport and port, which would provide Washington with controlling important shipping routes at the entrance to the Red Sea, where Huti's Huti rebels supported by Iran attack ships related to the USA, Israel.
In addition to the strategic location of Somaliland, the United States is tempted by lands of crude oil and lithium resources. Somaliland's openness to the acceptance of Palestinians from the Gaza Zone is not without significance in these negotiations, which the US President is very much about.
Although Washington has not confirmed the readiness to recognize Somaliland and still works closely with Somalia, supporting her in the fight against Islamic terrorists, the Trump administration apparently loses his patience to the government in Mogadish, as evidenced by Somalia's travels to travel to the USA.
Somaliland is looking for world recognition
Somaliland is a territory lying on the Gulf of Adeń in northern Somalia. After obtaining independence in 1960, it merged with Somalia, who was previously administered by Italy. Somaliland broke up with the Somalia government in Mogadiszu in 1991 and has been striving for international recognition of independence since then
Currently, this 6 million territory is appreciated for stable democracy; He not only has his own president selected in the election, but also his own currency and passport. For decades, Somaliland leaders tried to take advantage of this success to gain recognition from the world. However, so far only neighboring, conflicted with Somalia, Ethiopia recognized his sovereignty.
