LIVE: Will Trump Accept Military Base Deal with Somaliland to Counter China? | Firstpost Africa

Somalia’s breakaway region Somaliland is mulling a barter deal with the United States. Somaliland, which has been on a long quest to seek independence is ready to offer the United States a military base. In return, it seeks recognition. Somaliland’s representative to the US Bashir Goth recently said in an interview that the region is ready to host a US military base at its Berbera port. In 1991, Somaliland declared unilateral independence for Somalia which firmly opposes the move. The territory is strategically located along the Gulf of Aden. Experts say Donald Trump could show interest in this barter deal. Granting recognition to Somaliland will give the US a military edge in the critical Red Sea region. Watch for more details.

  3. I regret to be African, because some people in Africa are very stupid. Instead of uniting Africa to be United States of Africa, they are divided into two countries, and the west part is allowing US base there after thousands of Somalian where killed doing the United States and Somalia crisis in the early 80s and 90s.

  4. FACTS in ground of the land of “somaliland”

    “somaliland”, which claimed its independence from Somalia after the fall of the military central government. Civil war erupted in southern Somalia, where civil society became nonexistent in all of Somalia, and the tribes and tribal leaders became the peace-keeper for their tribes, and working with bordering tribes in the interest of peace. And each tribe started governing its own land.

    “somaliland” or the Isaaq tribe differed little bit in that mentality – tribes controlling its territory – in that, it started bringing back colonial mentality, since the leaders and “politicians” were tied to foreign entities, the same foreign entities that were bent upon for the Somali state to collapse.

    Come 2024, “somaliland” or the Isaaq clan only control – of the former ‘British Somaliland’ protectorate, which gained independence with ‘Italian Somaliland’ in 1960 – 3 districts; Sahil, majority of Togdheer and Marodi Jeh.

    They have lost control to 90% of Sool, to Sanaag except 15-20% which the Isaaq clan habitate and Erigavo which is shared city between Isaaq and Harti (sub-tribe of Daarood), and last but not least part of Togdheer, which has become a district on its own and is called Ayn.

    All these territories, before mentioned, are habited and owned by the Harti tribe (sub-clan of Daarood). And then there’s Awdal district, which is a contested district between the Gadabiirsi tribe, who habitate and own that land, who are part pro-somaliland and part against somaliland.

    And as of to date, Erigavo (the capital of Sanaag district and controlled now by “somaliland”) is deserted by the majority of its inhabitants, the Harti tribe and may turn into a war zone, if a settlement is not reached by two administrations; “somaliland” and ‘Khatumo State (a semi-autonomous state governed by the central government of Somalia).

    I paraphrase Somaliland, as “somaliland” in my dictation, because they claim to govern and control land, which is no longer under their administration, and whose inhabitants do not want to be part of “somaliland” or consider themselves as part of it, in which thousands of individuals lost their lives to attain that objective.

    And frankly, parts of these districts, which “somaliland” claims to govern and control are areas it has never ever controlled or governed, nevertheless, claim to do so.

    If U.S.A. has become a colonial and empire like predecessor, namely; ‘British Empire’. Then U.S.A. should do as it feels like and choose one Somali tribe over another. However, if U.S.A. is the same U.S.A. we know for democracy, liberty and self determination, then U.S.A. should change its conduct and foreign policy in the Horn Africa. And work with the United Nations recognised, nevertheless weak, but still the only central government of Somalia.
