LIVE: Trump's Envoy Defends Israel's Right to Recognise Somaliland | Firstpost Africa | N18G

The Horn of Africa has taken centre stage in a developing geopolitical crisis following Israel’s decision to become the first nation to recognise Somaliland. This move has triggered a sharp response from the international community. While Donald Trump expressed opposition to the recognition, his envoy, Tammy Bruce, vigorously defended Israel’s right to sovereign diplomacy during an emergency UN Security Council meeting. The dispute has drawn heavy criticism from Somalia, which views the recognition as a threat to its territorial integrity, and Turkey, a key Somali ally. The Somali President is set to hold talks with President Erdogan in Turkey today (December 30). As Somaliland occupies a vital strategic position near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait—a corridor for 30% of global trade—the recognition by Israel adds a high-stakes layer of complexity to an already volatile maritime region.
