And of course there are strategic reasons for Israel's declaration of Somaliland's independence, and one of the obvious reasons in my opinion is the possibility of a future campaign against the Houthis in Yemen. Yup, Yemen's Iran-backed rebels. Somalia is too close to Yemen geographically.
However Somalia erupted yesterday in massive protests over Israel's recognition of Somaliland (photo below). But on the other hand some Somalis were shown proudly wearing the Israeli flag. A chaotic situation for real. Now I can't wait to see what Abdul will have to say about this? Will he tell the Somalis that they are Arabs too and Muslims like him to make sure to keep them in the Arab league, or will he F. it up and call them "Abeed" giving them a "compelling argument" to side with Israel???? That massive protest in Somalia yesterday clearly showed different opinions on this Israeli recognition.
