S2 Ep38: Israel Recognized… What? A Primer on Somaliland

from Regent Israel Institute Podcast · host Regent Israel Institute

On December 26, 2025, Israel quietly made history, becoming the first country in the world to recognize Somaliland. What is Somaliland? Does it deserve recognition? And what is Israel hoping to achieve? To address these topics, Dr. Nolte sat down with Siobhan Guiney, who worked on democratization, governance, and electoral politics in Somaliland during the 2000s, and who has advocated for recognition of Somaliland since that time.
