Скачать или смотреть Israel's Somaliland recognition: Genocide Distraction or Gaza Solution?

Israel's recognition of Somaliland signals a strategic grab for a Horn of Africa foothold - what Somaliland and Somalia stand to lose. Israel appears motivated by distraction from global condemnation for genocidal activity in Gaza, and complementing this securing strategic access to maritime routes, potential port/overflight rights, intelligence basing and economic partnerships - moves that expand its regional footprint and counter rival influence (Iran, Turkey). More nefarious motivations could include opening resettlement options for Gazans. That calculus reshapes local politics by emboldening Somaliland's separatist project, provoking pushback from Somalia and neighbouring states, and creating new diplomatic tensions within the AU as capitals weigh sovereignty norms against lucrative bilateral deals.
