💨 Abstract

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar met Somaliland's president, 10 days after Israel recognized Somaliland as an independent state. This move, despite Somalia's objections, is seen as strategically important due to Somaliland's location near key shipping lanes. Other countries, including Ethiopia and potentially Turkey and India, may follow suit, driven by economic and security interests. The UAE already has significant investments in Somaliland's port and airport.
