23 Apr 2025 –\u00a0Somalia\u2019s recognition of SSC-Khaatumo as its sixth Federal Member State (FMS) has radically shifted the Horn of Africa\u2019s geopolitical dynamics, with implications for Israel, Palestine, and Ansar Allah (\u201cthe Houthis\u201d).
\n<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The geopolitical dynamics of the Horn of Africa region are always volatile, but more so now than ever. The world\u2019s attention is most drawn to the region by Ansar Allah\u2019s disruption of crucial maritime routes in the Red Sea in support of Palestine and Donald Trump\u2019s despicable proposal to remove and dump the entire population of Gaza in war-torn Sudan,\u00a0Somalia, and\/or Somaliland, the unrecognized Somali secessionist state. <\/span><\/p>\n

Both the US and Israel have considered recognizing secessionist Somaliland as a state in order to turn it into a US\/Israeli military enclave on the Gulf of Aden, near the mouth of the Red Sea and just across from Houthi-controlled Yemen. However, on April 14, when the federal government <\/span>recognized <\/a> SSC-Khaatumo as Somalia\u2019s sixth Federal Member State (FMS), the formal boundaries of the secessionist state radically shrank to roughly 45% of what was the former British Somaliland. What will Israel and\/or the US recognize now? A Somaliland with its territory cut in two? There is also nationalist resistance in northwestern Somaliland, where the people of Awdal region want to be part of the Somali nation.<\/span><\/p>\n

I spoke to <\/span>Dr. Abdirahman M. Abdi Hashi <\/a>, senior advisor to Abdiqadir Ahmed Aw-Ali <\/a>, the leader of the new regional state of SSC-Khaatumo, about the implications of Somalia\u2019s recognition of SSC-Khaatumo. <\/span><\/p>\n
