The recognition of Somaliland as an Israeli geopolitical weapon |
The recognition of the so-called Somaliland by Israel does not constitute a neutral diplomatic gesture nor a peripheral detail of its foreign policy.
It is a deliberate political operation, embedded in a broader strategy of power projection by the Zionist state, aimed at legitimising unilateral processes of secession that corrode central principles of international law, especially that of the territorial integrity of states, enshrined by the African Union.
By replacing collective norms with opportunistic recognitions, the Zionist regime turns sovereignty into a geopolitical bargaining chip. This is not about self-determination, but rather the instrumentalisation of territorial fragmentation as a tool of power.
Rupture is rewarded when it serves external strategic interests, and international legality is ignored when it becomes an obstacle.
