International recognition of Somaliland
As of October 2026, Somaliland is recognised as a sovereign state by one UN member state – Israel. The Republic of Somaliland was proclaimed on 18 May 1991 claiming to be the legal successor to the State of Somaliland which gained independence from the United Kingdom on 26 June 1960 and merged into the Somali Republic five days later. Somalia continues to claim Somaliland as an integral part of its territory, considering it to be one of its federal member states. In 2020, Taiwan and Somaliland began engaging in ambiguous, high-level relations. On 26 December 2025, Israel became the first country and UN member state to formally recognise Somaliland as an independent country.
