#Israel made history by #RecognizingSomaliland, but @msfreund says the real challenge begins now. In a new commentary, he argues that #Jerusalem should actively encourage the #UnitedStates, #Ethiopia, & other partners to engage #Somaliland diplomatically. With #Berbera’s strategic importance growing & #RedSeaSecurity becoming a global concern, he says Somaliland deserves more than symbolic recognition—it deserves a place among the world’s nations.
