Somali Land Leaders to Allow US and Israel at Berbera
The Chairman of the Somaliland Region, Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi "Eiro," announced his intention to host military bases for foreign powers, including Israel and the United States, at the port of Berbera to enhance security and trade, with the possibility of granting those countries access to the bases if they show interest. The region, which seceded from Somalia in 1991, is seeking international recognition by strengthening its security and economic stature, citing the model of Djibouti, which hosts foreign forces and generates substantial revenue. Eiro aspires to turn the port into a regional trade center and achieve American recognition after a meeting with President Trump. However, he faces opposition from neighboring Djibouti and the Somali government, along with regional and international tensions involving Turkey and other countries in the area. Reports indicate that the region could face security risks, especially from the Houthis, if it hosts foreign military bases.
