Time for Trump to recognize Somaliland
AEI ^ | Sep 24, 2025 | M Rubin

It is no longer the 19th century, and so British recognition of a Palestinian state, let alone that of Canada and Australia, means absolutely nothing. Contrary to arguments that Israel “occupies” Gaza, the would-be state has never been a stand-alone entity. Control over disputed territories passed from the Ottomans to the British to the Jordanians and Egyptians. It is telling that neither Jordan nor Egypt recognized the West Bank and Gaza as a Palestinian state. Most Palestinians came from outside the region, as early 20th-century censuses show.

If Canberra, Ottawa, and London — the Axis of Pandering — wish to promote a Palestinian state, Washington should lead by moral clarity: It should recognize Somaliland.

Consider the two cases: Hyperventilating progressives citing Hamas aside, there has been no genocide, let alone starvation, in Gaza. Major newspapers shamed themselves by posting photos of cerebral palsy victims and those with other severe conditions, seeking to deceive audiences into believing they represent ordinary Gazans. Some pre-cropped photos even show fat terrorists in the background. Meanwhile, there has been a real and documented genocide in Somaliland, where Somali forces under dictator Siad Barre sought to eradicate the Isaaq clan.

The UN is complicit in the horrific acts carried out against the Jews on 7 October 2023.

Everyone is lying and distorting the truth so that the end result will be as follows:

Israeli Jews = Nazis
PALEOstinian Arabs = Jews

THEREFORE the people that had a real genocide carried out on them 1933-1945 and on 7 October 2023 are now the perpetrators of the worst crimes committed in humanity.

End result = Create a HAMAS/PLO/Islamic Jihad/ Hezbollah/ Al-Nusra Front, Yemenite Houthi state right on and inside Israel. That way the UN will finally get it’s wish - destroy Israel.

My thoughts as well.

If Somaliland has a recognized legal government we no longer need to shelter refugees.

The Somali refugees can return to their homeland.

Am I right?

No thank you. We have more than enough Somali refugees living here and taking over cities. That is no way to fight back.

Well, I agree that it’s impossible to recognize Minneapolis anymore, and I lived there for over 20 years.

Hey, look! There's Somaliland. What a shit hole!

(My guess regarding Trump's recognition of the place)

Not anymore. Now it’s a Somali colony. I used to love to visit Minneapolis when I was in the area. Now, I wouldn’t go there by choice in the daytime, and not even on a dare after dark.
