       > The US is building 5 new bases in Somalia. The bases will
       house the elite US-trained "Lightening" Brigade. Somalia's
       lightening brigade has been leading the fight against the terror
       group Al-Shabaab. But is that their only target? The military
       build-up comes as tensions are rising between Somalia, Ethiopia
       and the disputed region of Somaliland. Should Ethiopia and
       Somaliland be worried? Palki Sharma tells you.

       > Last week, Somalia signed a military and economic deal with
       Turkey in a move that is assumed to be a response to Ethiopia's
       port agreement with Somaliland. So in this video, we'll explain
       what this deal means and whether it might deter Ethiopia's

       Israel becomes first country to formally recognise Somaliland as
       independent state

       > Dec 26 (Reuters) - Israel became the first country to formally
       recognise the self-declared Republic of Somaliland as an
       independent and sovereign state on Friday - a decision that
       could reshape regional dynamics and test Somalia's longstanding
       opposition to secession.

       "Any Link To Expel Palestinians..." Muslim Nations Slam Israeli
       Recognition of Somaliland | 4K
       --- Quote ---
       > Muslim-majority nations strongly condemned Israel’s decision
       to recognize Somaliland, warning it threatens Somalia’s
       sovereignty and regional stability. The joint backlash, joined
       by the EU and the OIC, also rejected any suggestion of
       relocating Palestinians, cautioning that the move could inflame
       tensions across the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea region.

       Israel’s Somaliland Gamble Backfires | Somalia, AU & Turkey Lead
       Global Outrage - WATCH
       --- Quote ---
       > A major diplomatic storm is unfolding after Israel’s formal
       declaration recognizing Somaliland as an independent state, a
       move that has triggered swift, sharp and united condemnation
       across Africa, the Horn region, and beyond. In this video, we
       break down the global reaction, what it means for regional
       stability, and why world powers are calling this a dangerous
       geopolitical precedent. Somalia and the African Union responded
       within hours, denouncing the recognition as a direct threat to
       Somalia’s territorial integrity and a challenge to long-standing
       international norms. Foreign ministers across the continent
       described Israel’s move as a violation of sovereignty, warning
       that selective or unilateral recognition could destabilize
       fragile borders across Africa and ignite wider tensions. WATCH
