Somaliland Says Ready to Send Troops to Gaza if Trump, Netanyahu Request ​
[GaroweOnline] Somaliland
...Republic of Somaliland is an unrecognised sovereign state in the Horn of Africa, recognised internationally as a de jure part of Somalia. It is located in the southern coast of the Gulf of Aden with approximately 5.7 million residents as of 2021. The capital and largest city is Hargeisa. The government regards itself as the successor state to British Somaliland, which united from 1960 to 1991 with the Trust Territory of Somaliland (the former Italian Somaliland) to form the Somali Republic. Under the Siad Barre regime, Somaliadestroyed ninety percent of Hargeisa Per international law, once you're in, you gotta stay in, no matter how bad it smells....

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu formally request its participation, Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohammed Abdullahi, known as Cirro, said.

Cirro said Somaliland could provide up to 2,000 troops for the proposed force, but stressed that his administration had not independently sought to deploy soldiers to Gaza. He made the remarks in Washington while attending a conference focused on Middle East political and security affairs.

The planned international force is expected to comprise around 20,000 personnel and would be tasked with helping secure Gaza, supporting the training of Paleostinian police and facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid.

Cirro's comments come amid growing ties between Somaliland and Israel, as the breakaway territory seeks international recognition. Israel announced in December 2025 that it had recognised Somaliland, a move that triggered strong opposition from Somalia and several other countries.

Reports surrounding the agreement have also linked Israel's recognition to wider security and strategic arrangements involving Somaliland, including claims about a possible Israeli military presence at Berbera and the relocation of Paleostinians from Gaza to Somaliland. Those reports have generated controversy, although details of any such arrangements remain disputed.

Cirro visited Israel in June and subsequently opened a Somaliland diplomatic mission in Jerusalem and signed the Abraham Accords framework aimed at establishing closer ties between Israel and Moslem-majority countries. The moves drew criticism from several Moslem countries and other parties opposed to Israel's policies in the Paleostinian territories.

The Somaliland president said his administration had discussed recognition and security cooperation with US officials in Washington, but stressed that he had received no commitment from the Trump administration that the United States would recognise Somaliland.

Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 but has not secured broad international recognition. Its push for diplomatic recognition has intensified in recent years, with the administration seeking closer political, economic and security ties with foreign governments. # id) ?>
