Dive into the high-stakes world of Horn-of-Africa diplomacy as Somaliland’s newly elected President Abdirahman Cirro breaks a 30-year precedent and opens formal talks with Qatar. In this episode, we unpack:

·       The History: Why every previous Somaliland leader refused Doha’s overtures—and what changed under President Cirro.

·       Qatar’s Agenda: From deep-water port dreams to soft-power maneuvers, discover the strategic gains Qatar seeks in Berbera and beyond.

·       Recognition at Risk: How this diplomatic pivot could reshape Somaliland’s quest for international statehood—and unsettle longstanding allies like the UAE, U.S., and EU.

·       Domestic Fallout: Hardline separatists, clan elders, and business elites weigh in on the promise—and peril—of Gulf investment.

·       Sovereignty Red Lines: What Somaliland must demand to protect its independence while pursuing economic opportunity.

Join us for unfiltered analysis, insider perspectives, and candid debate on whether this bold move is a masterstroke—or a gamble that could jeopardize decades of peaceful progress.
