Somaliland existed and operated as a country before #Somalia ever existed.

The word “somaIiIander” doesn’t exist ! It’s a made up word that certain radicaI separatists created

Somaliland has built an exceptionally strong and disciplined army over the last 35 years, successfully securing its borders and protecting its regions from deadly terrorist groups, while also helping to suppress piracy at sea and actively contributing to regional peace and stability. Because of Somaliland’s long-term commitment to security and nation-building, its neighbouring countries — Djibouti, Ethiopia, and even Somalia itself — have never lived with constant fear that their borders are at immediate risk from cross-border terror infiltration or violent incursions coming from Somaliland’s side. Now compare that reality with Somalia: for the past 34 years, the UN, EU, USA, UK, and many other international partners have spent billions of dollars on Somalia’s security sector, military development, and stabilization efforts. And this year marks the 20th anniversary since African Union peacekeepers were first deployed to Somalia — a full two decades of international intervention, training, funding, and frontline sacrifice. Yet after 20 years, Somalia’s security remains heavily dependent on foreign forces, who are still the ones securing the most critical and sensitive locations in the country: the ports, the airports, key government offices, and even the presidential offices themselves. This is not a minor gap — it is a fundamental indicator of a state that has not yet achieved independent security capacity despite enormous global investment and support. Even worse, the territories that Somalia’s international partners invested billions into building and defending are being abandoned every day, one area after another — and the most recent example, Adan Yabal, made that reality painfully evident to everyone watching. When a government cannot hold and protect the areas that were rebuilt, trained, funded, and defended for years, it raises a serious question: where did all that investment go, and why is security still collapsing? If you truly want to understand the difference between Somaliland and Somalia, the answer is not complicated — it comes down to the mindset of the political class in each country. Somaliland’s political leaders, despite limited resources and lack of international recognition, have remained visionary, strategic, and committed to making the national interest the first priority. Their leadership is defined by long-term thinking: building institutions, defending the homeland, protecting communities, and securing borders with a sense of responsibility and purpose. Meanwhile, Somalia’s political leadership has too often operated with a mindset driven by personal benefit, corruption, and the constant milking of the state. For many of them, the first question is not “How does this strengthen the country?” but rather “What do I gain from this project?” — a kind of leadership that is purely transactional, short-sighted, and self-serving. This is the core difference: a leadership culture built on national vision and responsibility versus a leadership culture trapped in transactions, corruption, and personal interest.

In Mogadishu, groups of citizens holding radical beliefs gathered in crowds and sent hostile messages toward #Israel, openly calling on the Al‑Shabaab jihadist group to join what they claim is the people’s voice to terrorize Israel, after Israel recognized the peaceful and friendly State of #Somaliland—an act they believe violated Somalia’s sovereignty.
