Minister of the presidency says the exclusive rights offered to the US are part of Somaliland’s push for global recognition.
Somaliland is willing to grant the United States exclusive access to its mineral resources and military bases as it seeks international recognition, according to Minister Khadar Hussein Abdi. The region, which declared independence from Somalia in 1991, recently received recognition from Israel, a move condemned by Somalia. Somaliland has valuable resources like lithium and coltan, and its leader has also hinted at potential agreements with Israel. The US has not yet made a definitive stance on Somaliland’s status amid shifting diplomatic dynamics.
