Somaliland Recognition: Why Israel Acted and How Africa is Responding

Head of the African Governance and Diplomacy Programme at SAIIA, Steven Gruzd, joins Central News TV to discuss Israel’s recognition of Somaliland. The move has sparked intense debate across Africa and the Middle East, raising questions about Israel’s motivations, the geopolitical stakes in the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea, and the implications for regional stability, international law and separatist movements on the continent.

SAIIA’s leading experts are available for interviews in person or virtually. We can also arrange for press to conduct interviews on-site at our headquarters in Johannesburg or at our Cape Town office.
The views expressed are those of the interviewees and do not necessarily reflect the views of the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA).
