Capital of Somaliland, a de facto state in the Horn of Africa
All Africa reports ongoing talks between Somali authorities and international partners. Discussions cover security, border management, government institutions, port development, and stabilisation efforts. The AU mission in Somalia relies on UN support for logistics, financing and coordination, while the US has signalled shifts in funding and policy that could affect future operations.
Somaliland’s president says the breakaway region is ready to contribute up to 2,000 troops to a US-led International Stabilization Force in Gaza if formally asked, while other nations weigh participation and Israel’s recognition boosts Somaliland’s international profile.
