Not if, but when' New president says world will recognise breakaway state Somaliland
The Guardian
|May 31, 2025
The new president of Somaliland says his state, which broke away from Somalia in 1991, is on the brink of securing international recognition – a development that would inflame tensions in the tumultuous Horn of Africa.
In an interview in the presidential palace in the capital, Hargeisa, Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi told the Guardian it was "likely" that Somaliland would finally win acceptance of its right to self-determination. "Recognition is on the horizon," said Abdullahi, 69.
Such a move would infuriate Somalia, unsettle regional powers in the strategic peninsula and fan broader concern that it sets a precedent for secessionist movements across Africa.
