Toronto – Following the announcement of Abdirahman Mohammed Abdullahi as the winner of Somaliland’s election, the United States has praised the process as “impressive,” signaling that Somaliland may soon be recognized as an independent state.
This statement was issued by the U.S. Embassy in Mogadishu, Somalia, which still considers Somaliland an integral part of its territory, despite Somaliland’s de facto independence for over three decades.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the embassy stated:
“The United States congratulates the people of Somaliland on their recent election and PRESIDENT-ELECT @Abdirahmanirro on his election. Somaliland’s impressive record of elections and peaceful transfers of power is a model for the region and beyond.”
