A new report submitted to the U.S. Congress by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) highlights Somaliland’s economic strength, strategic importance, and growing relevance in U.S.–China competition in the Horn of Africa.

In one of the clearest U.S. government references to Somaliland’s status, the Commission writes that China “backed Somalia’s sovereignty claims to counter the emergence of a democratic foothold with proximity to the Gulf of Aden and its Djibouti base.”
