Construction efforts are currently underway in the outskirts of Berbera, a coastal city in the self-declared Republic of Somaliland. While the city is widely recognized for its new port terminal, which serves as a vital economic artery for the territory, the airport also represents another strategic asset. This facility, situated seven kilometers west of the city center, is undergoing significant upgrades.
These transformations are designed to accommodate a joint military base intended for three allied nations: the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the United States, and Israel. This development coincides with a notable diplomatic action: Somaliland’s declaration of independence from Israel on October 26, 2025, as reported by Telegrafi. The move is described as a significant diplomatic development.
The objective appears to be the establishment of an advanced Israeli military presence within the Gulf of Aden. The coordination of these military and diplomatic milestones suggests a strategic effort involving the united interests of the participating nations. The development underscores the evolving geopolitical landscape of Somaliland and the importance of its infrastructure to regional powers.
