With unwavering optimism, the minister declared that Somaliland is closer than ever to achieving full recognition on the global stage.
“Somaliland is making remarkable strides, and this is the closest we’ve ever been to securing international recognition,” Bakaal said, highlighting the nation’s progress. He acknowledged challenges from opponents but emphasized Somaliland’s resilience in overcoming them.
The minister proudly underscored Somaliland’s reputation as a beacon of peace and stability, where citizens and visitors alike can move freely and pursue their goals in a secure environment. “Somaliland is recognized as a peaceful nation where safety is assured, and this strength must be further reinforced through recognition,” he added.
Somaliland’s determined campaign has gained significant momentum, with strategic outreach to Washington, including direct engagement with influential figures close to President Trump, such as supportive lawmakers.
Minister Bakaal expressed confidence that these efforts will bear fruit, despite attempts by adversaries to derail progress. “We remain vigilant and united, and we will succeed,” he affirmed.
This exciting development signals a bright future for Somaliland as it edges closer to its long-cherished goal of international recognition, promising greater opportunities for its people and stronger global partnerships.
