Israel's 2025 recognition of Somaliland's independence sparked joy and regional tension.
In December 2025, Israel became the first country to recognize Somaliland’s independence, sparking widespread celebration among its predominantly Muslim population.
Residents, many of whom endured brutal attacks during Somalia’s 1980s campaign, view the recognition as long-overdue validation of their sovereignty.
Despite global criticism and Somalia’s strong opposition, Somalilanders express pride in Israel, citing a lack of international condemnation for past atrocities.
