I hope this email finds you well.
I would like to invite you to join us for a 7–10 minute live interview on The Daily Round-Up, hosted by Annisa Essack. The interview will focus on recent reports of possible Israeli plans to forcibly relocate Palestinians to Somaliland in exchange for international recognition, and the implications for peace and security in the Horn of Africa.
- Date: Thursday, 11 September 2025
- Platform: Zoom or Stream Yard (link to be provided upon confirmation)
- Why Somaliland’s recognition bid is surfacing now, and why U.S. and Israeli interest has intensified.
- The risks and implications of linking Somaliland’s recognition to the forced relocation of Palestinians.
- How armed groups like al-Shabab and IS-Somalia could exploit such a plan for recruitment and propaganda.
- The tension between Somaliland’s popular support for Palestine and its leadership’s pursuit of recognition.
- The broader geopolitical picture: U.S., Israel, and China competing for influence in the Horn of Africa.
- What this moment reveals about sovereignty, power asymmetries, and the price smaller nations pay in international politics.
