US Representative Scott Perry has introduced a bill to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs aimed at officially recognizing Somaliland as an independent state. This move underscores growing support within the US Congress for Somaliland’s quest for sovereignty. The bill reflects a significant shift in diplomatic relations, potentially impacting both regional stability and US interests in the Horn of Africa.

Recognizing Somaliland could also influence international perceptions and encourage other nations to consider similar actions. As the legislative process unfolds, the implications of this bill could be far-reaching for Somaliland’s future and its relationship with Somalia.
