For those who don't follow the rump #Somalia🇸🇴 failed state closely (or at all), check out the summary of events this week by @RAbdiAnalyst. Why should the #USA🇺🇸 still recognize — much less fund with tax dollars — an unelected regime whose own Supreme Court says is illegal?😵💫
#BREAKING
What a week !
Somalia now in severest full-blown constitutional crisis in decades.
A timeline:
💠 11 October: Opposition leader Sheikh Sharif lodges petition with Supreme Court challenging incumbent President's unilateral constitutional changes, electoral model and term extension.
💠 4 November: President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud (HSM) dismisses Supreme Court Chief Justice Bashe Yusuf Ahmed via Facebook announcement, appoints ally and ruling party JSP member to pre-empt adverse ruling on the opposition petition by the Supreme Court - a gross violation of the rules which give Bashe security of tenure, protects him from outright dismissal by the chief executive.
💠 5 November: A five-member Supreme Court panel of judges (minus Bashe) goes ahead and rules that HSM is in office unlawfully, that his term ended in May 2026, that the Parliament's own mandate ended in April 2026, and further directed that all political parties engage to agree a new electoral framework, before organising fresh elections in 90 days.
The verdict effectively nullifies HSM's unilateral term extension, invalidates both his electoral model (the so-called OPOV) and the April-May 2027 poll timetable.
Opposition alliance SFC members welcome ruling.
💠 5 November: A defiant HSM vows to press ahead with his electoral scheme. Ruling party and regime hardliners pick the cue and allege Bashe conspiring with 'foreign enemies' to subvert the state and democratic aspiration of the Somali people.
💠 5 November: Security forces reportedly storm Supreme Court; judges who made the ruling manage to escape dragnet, go underground; all airport police and airlines instructed to stop the lawmen from leaving the country...

Somaliland President Inaugurates Newly Equipped Police Hospital

In 1971, India recognised that territorial claims alone could not settle Bangladesh’s future. In Somaliland’s case, the legal question goes one step further: can a failed political union permanently extinguish the sovereignty of a state that existed before the union was created?

Trade and economic cooperation must become the foundation of stronger India-Somaliland relations. From infrastructure, ports and logistics to healthcare, education, agriculture, energy and technology, opportunities for mutually beneficial collaboration are immense.

In Indian civilisation, the Bindi is more than an ornament placed upon the forehead. It represents identity, consciousness, wisdom and the awakening of the third eye
If India’s expanding diplomatic outreach to Africa and the world were imagined as a human body, I would describe Somaliland as the Bindi on its face.

My sincere gratitude to His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Somaliland @Abdirahmanirro for graciously taking time out of his busy schedule to engage in a meaningful discussion on strengthening India-Somaliland relations, particularly in trade, economic cooperation and mutually beneficial partnerships. I am deeply honoured by his thoughtful gesture of presenting me with a memento from Somaliland.
I had the privilege of presenting His Excellency with a painting by a paraplegic artist from Varanasi @punam_vns the parliamentary constituency of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The artist’s remarkable journey embodies resilience, dedication, determination and devotion just like the story of Somaliland. I also presented a book co-authored by Amit Bagaria and me, highlighting the transformational policies of the Indian government under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership.
I look forward to building stronger bridges of friendship, trust and cooperation between India and Somaliland.

While 🇮🇱Israel locks in recognition and deeper ties with Somaliland, 🇮🇳India has a clear economic opening.
Berbera Port is already one of Africa’s best-performing deep-water ports, UAE 🇦🇪 DP World-operated, with 500k TEU capacity (expanding). Ranked near the top in Africa, it is a real gateway to Ethiopia’s 120M+ market and the wider Horn.
India is already a major trading partner (pharma, machinery, food, goods).
Time to scale investment in the Berbera Economic Zone, logistics corridors, and trade.

Waxaan fariin ka helay walaal reer Somaliland ah, mana aan iska celin karin inaan la wadaago adduunka.
Reer Somaliland
Waad ku mahadsantihiin inaad calankayaga u qaaddeen sidii calankiinna oo kale. Taasi waa wax aan ku faano oo aan weligeen idiin xusuusan doonno. Ilaahay ha barakeeyo idinka, dalkiinna iyo dadkiinna, jacaylka inaga dhexeeyana ha sii waaro 🇦🇪
I am deeply grateful 🙏🏻

Somaliland, dhulkii gabayga, geesinimada iyo gobannimada.Dhul ay maansadu tahay xusuusta ummadda, baduhuna qarniyo badan isku xireen ganacsato iyo ilbaxnimooyin kala duwan; dhul ay karaamadu mar walba ka qaalisan tahay dahabka. Laga soo bilaabo Hargeysa, wadnaha Somaliland, ilaa Berbera, albaabka taariikhiga ah ee Badda Cas; laga bilaabo buuraha Sheekh ilaa xeebaha Saylac, waa dal iyo dad ay soo dhiseen taariikh, ganacsi, diin, suugaan, geesinimo iyo adkaysi aan caadi ahayn.
Waa dad dalkooda gacmahooda dib ugu dhisay, nabad ilaashaday xilliyo adag, aqoonsigooda iyo dhaqankoodana sharaf iyo faan ku sita meel kasta oo ay dunida ka joogaan.
Reer Somaliland waxay si fiican u garanayaan in calanku uusan ahayn maro keliya. Waa xusuus, naf-hurnimo, sharaf, aqoonsi iyo hoy.
Sidaas darteed, waa muuqaal aad u qurux badan in maanta reer Somaliland ee ku nool Imaaraadka Carabta ay nala dabaaldegayaan Maalinta Calanka UAE, iyagoo si sharaf iyo jacayl leh kor ugu qaadaya calankeenna.
Idinku calankeenna ayaad sharaftaan, annaguna saaxiibtinimadiinna ayaan sharfaynaa.
Laba shacab oo sharaf iyo faan leh. Laba dal oo ay badda iyo saxaruhu taariikhdooda qaabeeyeen. Saaxiibtinimo ku dhisan ixtiraam iyo walaaltinimo.
Guul iyo Gobannimo!
Ilaahay Somaliland ha barakeeyo, dadkeedana sharaf, nabad iyo barwaaqo ha siiyo. Saaxiibtinimada Somaliland iyo Imaaraadkuna ha sii xoogaysato jiilba jiilka ka dambeeya.
Ilaahay ha barakeeyo Imaaraadka. Ilaahay ha barakeeyo Somaliland. Ilaahayna ha waarajiyo saaxiibtinimada labada shacab.

🇲🇦🤝In the quiet strength of Somaliland, a new story is being written. While the world looks elsewhere, this resilient land in the Horn of Africa is quietly laying the foundations to become a vital hub of trade, connection, and possibility. In the coming years, this nation may just surprise everyone. 🌍✨ #Somaliland #HornOfAfrica #Morocco #Trade
