China’s involvement in Somaliland’s eastern regions, as detailed, reflects a calculated and dangerous geopolitical strategy aimed at destabilizing the region. This interference appears to be directly linked to Somaliland’s growing diplomatic relationship with Taiwan, a move that has clearly irked Beijing. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is reportedly collaborating with sanctioned ISIS operatives, such as Liban Mohamed, a known figure in Somalia’s extremist networks. By leveraging figures like Mohamed and engaging with local clan leaders, China is exploiting existing tensions to undermine Somaliland’s stability and sovereignty.In Sanaag, the CCP has allegedly armed Warsangali clan militias, fueling an already fragile environment. The recent meeting between the Warsangali Sultan and a CCP representative, followed by the clan’s declaration of war against Somaliland, underscores the deliberate nature of this interference. China’s actions seem designed to deepen internal divisions and weaken Somaliland’s capacity to govern its territories effectively.
This destabilizing effort is not confined to Sanaag. In Sool, evidence reportedly shows China supplying truckloads of weapons to SSC militias, further exacerbating conflict in the region. By arming and empowering these groups, the CCP is escalating violence and creating broader regional instability. Such actions reveal a broader geopolitical strategy that prioritizes undermining Somaliland’s sovereignty in favor of China’s global ambitions.
The alleged partnership between the CCP and sanctioned terrorists highlights a troubling disregard for international norms and counterterrorism efforts. By engaging with extremist networks, China demonstrates a willingness to exploit terrorism as a tool for advancing its geopolitical goals, regardless of the implications for regional peace and security.
For Somaliland, the ramifications of this interference are profound. The sovereignty, peace, and international aspirations of Somaliland are at stake, as external actors manipulate local dynamics to serve their broader strategic interests. This situation demands urgent attention and coordinated efforts to expose and counter these destabilizing activities, ensuring that Somaliland can maintain its territorial integrity and pursue its aspirations for recognition on the global stage.
