Hargeisa (Hornpost.com) Financial Times magazine reported from a senior official of the United States government that the first conversation between the Presidency of Somaliland and the United States government was focused on an agreement that would make it possible to recognize Somaliland and allow the United States to have a military base on the shores of Berbera.
According to the magazine, this information is limited to a discussion between the two sides but no full result has been reached yet.
The talk about President Trump’s recognition of Somaliland has been very high in recent times, and it has been asked what he can do to exchange recognition for Somaliland at the moment.
The port of Berbera, which is warming the Gulf of Aden, is a place that is currently being heavily neglected because it could be part of the crisis in the Red Sea, where the attacks by the Houthi group fighting in Yemen could not be carried out.
Somaliland is a self-governing state for 40 years after it regained its independence from Somalia but not a single international government recognized Somaliland as independent.
The United States government led by President Trump is expected by the people of Somaliland to recognize it as an independent government.
United Kingdom used to have Somaliland as strategic base during the African colonial period and they have a great relationship in many aspects between Somaliland and the UK and the people of Somaliland have great hope that the UK itself will dare to recognize Somaliland.
