HARGEISA (KAAB TV) – Somaliland said that the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump is a man who has the courage to give Somaliland recognition.
The Minister of Information, Ahmed Yassin Ali Ayaale, said that he hopes Trump to recognize Somaliland, which can make it possible for a positive change to take place in the region.
“Donald Trump, who is known for his honesty has taken over the United States. We have courage, let’s exchange interests, announce the recognition of Somaliland to the world and everything will happen,” said the Minister.
In the last few months, the media has captured that the United States will recognize Somaliland as a separate country when Trump comes to power, this is the hope of the people of Somaliland and politicians who support Somaliland in the Republican Party that has taken over power in the United States.
Although it is not clear the steps Trump will take, there are efforts in the US House of Representatives, committees and lawmakers who want Washington to have direct contact with Hargeisa.
This new campaign is driven by the concern of the United States about the growing influence of China in the region who is now a close friend of the Somali government.
The Somali government is spending a lot of money to prevent the relationship between Hargeisa and Washington, while the Somali Ambassador to the United States said that Somaliland’s recognition could be a problem for their cooperation with Washington.
