Somaliland sacrifices recognition for the sake of Arabs

[Ghandi23]

Israel was one of 35 countries that recognised Somaliland's brief independence in 1960. However, it does not currently hold direct diplomatic ties with Somaliland. In February 2010, Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesperson Yigal Palmor was quoted in the Haaretz Daily that his government was ready to recognize Somaliland again. Although, he stated that the Somaliland government has not contacted the Israeli government to seek ties.

In 1995, former President Egal of Somaliland also wrote a letter to Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin seeking to establish diplomatic ties between the two countries. In September 2001, it was also reported Somaliland was looking towards Tel Aviv after Saudi Arabia banned imports of livestock from the country due to Rift Valley fever. During this time several Israeli businessmen were also in the nation's capital Hargeisa. However, President Kahin who succeeded Egal is reported to have avoided approaching Israel to prevent straining fragile relations with the Arabs and Muslim world, which it heavily relies for its livestock trade.

Can you fathom the insanity? SL keeps talking about how amazing the Berbera port is yet they would have faired much better if they had sovereignty.

We gave up decades of potential all so a reer myi can sell his camels to Arabs.

If Somaliland tries to establish ties with them, they risk livestock trade with the Arabs which is the backbone of their economy, also there is no guarantee they get recognition afterwards even if they did establish ties with Israel

If they would stop business so we could progress, it only goes to show the nature of our relationship. It's almost as though without Arabs, our nation would disappear. What happened to showing a spine?

We depend on them, but they don't depend on us. Unless we find other trade partners, this dependency will continue unfortunately

Is Israel going to buy millions of livestock every year?

 

[Awdalia Rising]

I would give Israel a military base before these smelly Arabs. Weak Arabs are not known for fighting if you’re giving out bases give it to the big dogs.

f*ck the arabs, I don't SL to be recognized by a fucking Zionist imperialist apartheid country. And why they hell we would isolate ourselves from our Muslim countries?

Enough with the Ummah talk. How many Muslim nations have "normalized" with Israel? Why do we have to hold out for Arabs when they won't even do it for themselves? Also, why do it at our detriment?

Your hatred for Israel is a faulty one. The land was conquered by Britain and the deal was to give 30% of the population, which was Jewish, 55% of the land. All of it was the barren desert. If the Palestinians accepted it then, they'd be living in peace today.

tldr; Palestinians chose violence over peace with Israel and lost yet Somalis are expected to side with them even though it's against our best interests. Okay.

Ok f*ck the ummah as well. It is still the same for me.
Your ignorance about the history of that region and about Israeli terrorists groups, is showing up. Go and study more

I think we should start diplomatic ties with Israel, they’ve technologies that can benefit us in somaliland example we have a water problem, prior to the creation of Israel most of Palestine was semi Desert, but now they’ve technologies that can recycles water and Desensitise it. I do sympathies with the Palestines but we need to think about our country first and foremost. Don’t know how Somalis can put other people first but never think about what’s going on back home in their country.

To hell with Israel, Somaliland is not that desperate for recognition. And any politicians that creates ties with them will get most likely killed. Stop apeing other people, be original.
Think outside of the box, and don’t let your hate for Islam overwhelm you hindu boy
