Somaliland hits out over Somalia’s offer to Trump of Berbera airbase and port

Somalia’s Somalian region has refused to attempt to monopolize the port and air base in Berbera.

The city is located in strategic Aden Bay on the northern coast of Maliland. The territory, which declared independence in 1991 as Somalia went down to the civil war, said the facility did not give up.

Somalia’s Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, a letter from a replacement to US President Donald Trump, proposed a port and airbase in Somalia, and all four will strengthen their US security.

Somalia’s Foreign Minister Dahir Aden dismissed the movement as “desperate.”

Given before Trump began, Somalians hoped that the United States would be the world’s first nation that recognized its own declared republic, which hoped to recognize the Republic of its own declaration, which has been a de facto country for almost 34 years.

ADAN said in response to the letter, “There is nothing to do to prevent the awareness of the upcoming Sorillle Land,” ADAN posted on X.

Somalia’s recently expanded port in Berbera is operated by DP World in the UAE.

“The United States is not stupid. They know who should be dealt with with the Berbera port.”

The United States has long played an important role in helping Somalia for a long time to fight the Islamic armed forces related to Al Qaeda and Islamic National Group.

Al-shabab, which controls the territory of southern and central Somalia, is considered the most successful affiliate of Al-Qaeda.

Observators say Mogadishu is afraid that Trump will reduce US support as in his first term.

In December, the Somali government signed a $ 600,000 (£ 692,000) contract with Washington’s best lobby company for advice on US commercial relations.

According to a letter to Trump on March 16, Reuters explains how exclusive control of the offered airbase and port can help the United States to respond to the influence of other international players in the horns of Africa.

“This strategic asset provides opportunities to strengthen the participation of the United States in the region, while also preventing external competitors from establishing a position in this important corridor.”

However, the establishment of the federal Somalia may also be scouted by President Moha Mood’s proposal of Bosa Soma, located in the semi -autonomous northeastern region of Fun Trend.

Officials have not yet mentioned this letter, but according to Somalia’s online publications, the proposal was made without consultation. The relationship between Puntland and Mogadishu can be more tense.

The second airbase mentioned is located in the northwest of the capital, Baledogle, and American soldiers have already trained Somali troops to fight Alshabab.

This is not the first time that the port of Soril Land has become a source of dispute.

Last year, Turkey began to end the disagreement of escalation through local disputes after the inland Ethiopia signed a marine contract with Sorilland to build a port.

Somalia responded by calling Somalia as part of the territory, calling it “act of invasion.”
