Somaliland 360 – Episode 8: “Somalia’s War on Somaliland: Failure, Foreign Masters, and the Road to Recognition.”

For over 30 years, Somalia has been the world’s number one failed state, yet instead of rebuilding its nation, it has waged a relentless covert and overt war against Somaliland — a peaceful democracy it hasn’t governed since 1991.

This episode exposes how Mogadishu has sold its sovereignty to China, Turkey, and Qatar, using foreign loans, weapons, and influence to undermine Somaliland’s progress while ignoring famine, terrorism, and poverty at home.

🎯 Meanwhile, Somaliland has achieved what Somalia could not — stability, democracy, and resilience without foreign armies or billions in aid.
From Berbera’s strategic rise to Somaliland’s global partnerships with Taiwan and the diaspora, this is the story of two nations moving in opposite directions — one collapsing, one ascending.

💥 In this powerful episode, Abdifatah Qalinly breaks down:

·       Why Somalia is obsessed with destroying Somaliland’s success.

·       How Mogadishu sold its sovereignty to foreign powers.

·       The human cost of Somalia’s corruption and neglect.

·       Why Somaliland’s democratic model is winning global respect.

·       And why recognition is now inevitable.

On September 18, 2025, the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee quietly made history. Hidden inside the State Department Reauthorization Bill (H.R. 5300) was Section 305 — a bipartisan provision directing the establishment of a U.S. representative office in Hargeisa and the creation of separate travel advisories for Somaliland, officially distinguishing it from Somalia.

For Somaliland, this marks the beginning of official U.S. engagement — the first step in a strategic four-phase plan:

1️⃣ Diplomatic ties through a representative office
2️⃣ Military cooperation via Berbera and Red Sea security
3️⃣ Economic and investment partnerships
4️⃣ Formal recognition

In this episode, host Abdifatah Qalinly breaks down:

·       Why H.R. 5300 changes U.S.–Somaliland relations forever

·       How this mirrors the paths of Kosovo and South Sudan

·       What America gains from a foothold in Somaliland amid the global power race with China, Russia, and Turkey

·       And why September 18 may be remembered as the day Washington broke its silence

For over thirty years, U.S. foreign policy clung to the One Somalia Policy—pouring billions of dollars into Mogadishu in the hope of rebuilding a unified state. The result? Somalia remains unstable, divided, and leaning toward China and its allies.

Now, President Donald J. Trump has officially ended that failed approach. In its place, he has opened the door to recognizing Somaliland—a stable democracy, a strategic ally, and a rising partner at the gateway of the Red Sea.

In this episode of Somaliland 360, Abdifatah Qalinly explores:

·       Why the One Somalia Policy failed after decades of support

·       How Somaliland built peace, democracy, and security on its own

·       Why Trump’s pivot is both a counter to China and a new U.S. alliance strategy

·       What recognition could mean for the Horn of Africa, global shipping, and world order

📌 This is more than diplomacy—it’s a turning point in history.

➡️ Senator Ted Cruz’s letter urging President Donald Trump to formally recognize Somaliland.

➡️ Trump’s historic remark: “We’re looking into that right now.”➡️ Why Somaliland’s location, democracy, and resources make it indispensable to U.S. strategy.
➡️ The deals on the table: military access at Berbera, critical minerals, trade, and regional alliances.
➡️ And most importantly—what recognition would mean for the people of Somaliland, who built peace and democracy against all odds.

This isn’t just about recognition.

It’s about power, security, and the future of the Red Sea.
