Election financing is central to democracy, fairness & public trust. Yet external funding poses serious risks - undermining sovereignty & influencing national agendas. Recent global cases, like Sarkozy’s sentencing, remind us of the need for transparency & strong safeguards…

Per the #Somaliland Journalists Association and @hrcsomaliland, 25 journalists have been detained this year. This crackdown on the media is not only unconstitutional but also raises credibility issues for the leaders who promised respect for the media when they were in opposition

Exactly - reliable partners matter. The Republic of Somaliland has already proven itself: democratic governance, stability in a volatile region, and a people ready to secure their own future. America needs allies, not dependents - and Somaliland is ready.

Today, of all days, it really is high time that #Somaliland achieved international (re-)recognition. There really is no better example of a nation that fulfils all criteria, and remains a beacon of hope in a most troubled region.

From Zeila to Berbera, from caravan forts to nomadic sanctuaries - the Republic of Somaliland has always been a crossroads of civilizations. A thousand years of trade, culture & resilience prove: we were never peripheral, always central. #Somaliland #History #Trade

For the Republic of #Somaliland, this opens doors: a U.S. office in Somaliland & fair travel advisories. Yet, what’s vital is for the Somaliland Recognition Act to move forward as soon as possible.
