Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, and the President of the Republic of Somaliland signed a joint and mutual declaration.

Prime Minister Netanyahu congratulated the President of Somaliland, Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdallah, and praised his leadership and commitment to promoting stability and peace. The Prime Minister invited the President to pay an official visit to Israel.
The President thanked Prime Minister Netanyahu for his historic declaration and expressed appreciation for the Prime Minister’s achievements in fighting terrorism and advancing regional peace.
“The Prime Minister thanks Foreign Minister Sa’ar, the Head of Mossad David Barnea and the Mossad, for their contribution to today's development and wishes the people of Somaliland success, prosperity, and freedom,” said the statement from Netanyahu’s office.

The Walz Somalialand in Minniesomalia?

What the hell is "Puntland"? What do they have against Somalia?
“Look!!! A squirrel!”
Yep
“While Somalia is overwhelmingly Muslim, early evidence suggests Christian presence in coastal areas from the 7th-10th centuries, with more organized missions and the grand, but now ruined, Mogadishu Cathedral built by Italians in the 20th century; today, ancient churches are scarce, but historic sites linked to early Christianity exist in nearby regions like Eritrea (Adulis) and Ethiopia (Aksum), showing the wider Horn of Africa’s Christian past.”

Interesting history. Hope they can grow and keep their civilization and independence.
Before WWII, Somaliland was British and Somalia (and Puntland?) was Italian. Djibouti was French. So, it would make sense that Somaliland would be more democratic leaning thanks to British colonialism. In contrast Somalia & Puntland would be more fascist and authoritarian (Mussolini and his autocratic predecessors).

The Historical Land of Punt
Location: A mysterious, legendary kingdom in ancient Egypt’s records, believed to be in the Horn of Africa (Somalia, Eritrea, Ethiopia) or Southern Arabia (Yemen).

It’s just recognizing what is reality. Somaliland is an independent country with or without anyone’s permission. Relatively normal unlike its infamous neighbor.
Like Iraqi Kurdistan.
