I'm flying Rough Rubies and Emeralds out of Somaliland (Hargeso). And I'm flying it into the UK. I need help making the Mineral license and the export licence in Hargeso. If I leave without these documents my shipment will withheld. I can pay for anyone's time who helps me obtain them. And if you have any information about gemstones it would be much appreciated. Thank you

Hello, i am currently writing an article which also touches on the recognition of Somaliland by Israel and i was wondering what the reaction of Somalilanders was to the initial news, also how was that opinion changed or not changed now, more than half a year later. I appriciate any response and if anyone could point me in a direction of some source talking about this it would be really appriciated.

I made a stupid mistake. I posted on social media that I wanted to kill Trump. For that crime, I received eight years of probation. I recently finished my probation, but I still have a felony on my record, which has made it difficult for me to find a job.

I’ve decided to move to Somaliland. It has always been my goal to join the military, but I can’t join the American military because of my criminal record. Does anyone have any idea how I could join the Somaliland military?

As far as I can tell, Israel's recognition hasn't generated the anticipated domino that the Somaliland leadership apparently banked on. Question is does Somaliland have any cards left to play or the strategy was to shoot at this one opportunity with Israel and pray for God to do the rest?

I am a solo traveller interested in visiting Somaliland in November 2026 for maybe 3 days

Does anyone know who can offer a private tour for the duration?

Thank you so much :)

Somaliland's national anthem, "Samo Ku Waar" ("Live in Eternal Peace"), carries deep emotional significance for many people, including me.

I used to sing this anthem as a student in the large choir at Qudhac-dheer Primary School in Hargeisa around 2005.

I believe every Somalilander should know and be able to sing our national anthem.

This is something I've genuinely wondered about and would love to learn more about from those who know our history.

Given that Habarjeclo has such a long stretch of coastline, what led our ancestors to settle mainly in the Hawd, Ogo, and Nugaal instead of developing larger coastal communities in Guban and along the Xeeb?

Was it because of grazing conditions, freshwater availability, trade patterns, security, disease, or historical migrations?

I'm especially interested in hearing from anyone whose familiar with Habarjeclo oral history. This isn't meant to compare clans or start arguments I'm simply trying to better understand our history.

We all see the news reports but I want to hear it from the actual people , how do Somalilanders view the state of Israel and the situation and Gaza? Do you as Somalilanders sympathize with the people of Palestine???

I was considering buying farmland but I’m diaspora and don’t have anyone I can reliably look into this for me right now. How much does it even cost for a few hectares and does anyone know more about farming in Somaliland? Thanks

I can't be the only one who's noticed this.

Every time I post or comment from a Somaliland perspective in r/Somalia, it gets mass downvoted almost immediately, and I was eventually blocked. Meanwhile, pro-union opinions are completely welcome.

It makes me wonder: if the goal is unity, why is there so little tolerance for different opinions? If people can't even discuss the issue without being silenced or buried in downvotes, how is there supposed to be any meaningful conversation?

Has anyone else here had the same experience, or is it just me?

35 years of conflict, What is different now than the past three decades?

What the Israel-Somaliland deal shows is that recognition works better as a resource, something with exchange value that powerful actors deploy to extract something else in return

At last i have visited and its really a beautiful country, been here for 3 days and the people are soooo nice and welcoming 💪🏾 i had a post about how to get here but unfortunately deleted but going from questions to actually being here is so surreal.

Thinking about hosting a house party in Hargeisa, Somaliland. As far as I know, it’s not really a thing here, so I’m curious

Hey guys, it must be hard to be Somali when the President insults yall regularly. He has said Somalia is a shithole that has nothing except people killing each other. He says Somalis in America are garbage. He says your leader Ilhan Omar married her own brother and is a crook.
I don’t think any country or people have been as insulted as Somalis have by a sitting American President.
How do you deal with such humiliation?

ASC everyone,

An elderly Somali woman is stranded in Dubai. Her e-Visa for Hargeisa was approved and paid for, but she never received the visa PDF needed to travel.

We've called the Somali immigration numbers and sent emails, but no one is responding. I have a flight to catch and don't want to leave her stranded.

If anyone has a contact within Somali Immigration or knows someone who can help, please DM me. JazakAllah khair.

Somalia’s are making new stories now🥀
