索马里兰总统高级外交事务顾问穆罕默德·奥斯曼·法达尔在本周发表的《中东眼》采访中表示，在土耳其在索马里的军事存在不断增加的情况下，索马里兰正在寻求深化与以色列的安全合作，包括获得防空系统。“我们需要防空系统，”法达尔说。“我们希望以色列支持我们对抗土耳其。“据法达尔称，土耳其在索马里部署F-16战斗机以及安卡拉不断扩大的无人机能力是哈尔格萨官员希望加强索马里兰防御的原因之一。土耳其今年向索马里部署了军用飞机，三架土耳其F-16参加了4月份在摩加迪沙上空的飞越，作为纪念索马里武装部队日的庆祝活动的一部分。这些言论让人们难得一睹索马里兰如何看待其与以色列发展的关系。近几个月来，有关以色列可能在伯贝拉港驻军的报道也有所增加。索马里总统哈桑·谢赫·穆罕默德周五声称，以色列计划在该市建立海军基地并使用其机场。索马里兰否认存在这样的协议。其国防部长6月表示，以色列没有军事存在，也没有就建立基地进行谈判。
Somaliland is seeking to deepen security cooperation with Israel, including by obtaining air-defense systems, amid Turkey's growing military presence in Somalia, senior Somaliland presidential foreign affairs adviser Mohamed Osman Fadal said in an interview Middle East Eye published this week." We need air-defense systems," Fadal said. "We want Israel to support us against Turkey." According to Fadal, the deployment of Turkish F-16 fighter jets in Somalia and Ankara's expanding drone capabilities are among the reasons officials in Hargeisa want to strengthen Somaliland's defenses. Turkey deployed military aircraft to Somalia this year, and three Turkish F-16s participated in an April flyover over Mogadishu as part of celebrations marking Somali Armed Forces Day. The remarks offered a rare glimpse into how Somaliland views its developing relationship with Israel.
不过，他确实证实以色列为索马里兰的军队和警察提供培训。索马里兰将以色列视为与土耳其、索马里关系的制衡力量哈尔格萨的官员将以色列描述为与索马里和土耳其之间日益密切合作的潜在制衡力量。穆罕默德·阿卜迪拉赫曼·哈桑，索马里兰外交部总干事，告诉中东眼，哈尔格萨的官员担心索马里政府正在考虑对索马里兰采取军事行动，土耳其可以提供协助。
In recent months, reports have also increased regarding the possibility of an Israeli military presence at the port of Berbera. Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud claimed on Friday that Israel was planning to establish a naval base in the city and also use its airport. Somaliland denied that such an agreement exists. Its defense minister said in June that there was no Israeli military presence and no negotiations over establishing a base. He did, however, confirm that Israel provides training to Somaliland's military and police. Somaliland sees Israel as counterweight to Turkey, Somalia tiesOfficials in Hargeisa have described Israel as a potential counterweight to the increasingly close cooperation between Somalia and Turkey. Mohamed Abdirahman Hassan, director-general of Somaliland's Foreign Ministry, told Middle East Eye that officials in Hargeisa fear the Somali government is considering military action against Somaliland and that Turkey could assist it.
然而，这一说法尚未得到独立证实，索马里联邦政府尚未宣布任何入侵索马里兰的计划。土耳其被认为是索马里的主要战略盟友之一。2017年，安卡拉在摩加迪沙开设了其最大的海外军事训练设施，此后培训了数千名索马里安全人员。2024年，土耳其和索马里签署了一项为期10年的国防和经济合作协议，其中包括援助建设、训练和装备索马里海军以及加强海上安全。
The claim has not been independently verified, however, and Somalia's federal government has not announced any plan to invade Somaliland. Turkey is considered one of Somalia's main strategic allies. In 2017, Ankara opened its largest overseas military training facility in Mogadishu and has since trained thousands of Somali security personnel. In 2024, Turkey and Somalia signed a 10-year defense and economic cooperation agreement that includes assistance in building, training, and equipping Somalia's navy and strengthening maritime security.
土耳其还扩大了在能源领域的参与，包括在索马里沿海的石油和天然气勘探。分析人士质疑索马里兰对土耳其的警告。并非所有人都相信索马里兰的警告。总部设在埃尔索的分析人士艾哈迈德·阿卜迪告诉《今日索马里》，在他看来，土耳其并没有对索马里兰构成重大威胁，这些声明主要是针对该地区以外的受众。据阿卜迪说，索马里兰正寻求与批评土耳其或支持以色列的西方国家站在一起，希望获得更大的国际支持和进一步的承认。
Turkey has also expanded its involvement in the energy sector, including oil and gas exploration off Somalia's coast. Analysts question Somaliland's warnings over TurkeyNot everyone is convinced by Somaliland's warnings. Mogadishu-based analyst Ahmed Abdi told Somalia Today that, in his view, Turkey does not pose a significant threat to Somaliland and that the statements are largely aimed at audiences outside the region. According to Abdi, Somaliland is seeking to position itself alongside Western actors that criticize Turkey or support Israel, hoping the secure greater international support and further recognition.
阿卜迪评估说，这一战略不太可能成功，部分原因是土耳其是北约成员国，土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普保持着联系。他说，如果索马里兰将其要求承认自己的成就和地位，而不是反对其他国家。这些报告还挑战了以色列和索马里兰之间更紧密的安全关系主要是由亚丁湾的胡塞威胁推动的假设。
Abdi assessed that the strategy was unlikely to succeed, in part because Turkey is a NATO member and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan maintains ties with US President Donald Trump. He said Somaliland would have a stronger case if it based its demand for recognition on its own achievements and status rather than on opposition to other countries. The reports also challenge the assumption that closer security ties between Israel and Somaliland are driven primarily by the Houthi threat across the Gulf of Aden.
哈桑告诉中东之眼，索马里兰不支持与胡塞的对抗，而是更喜欢直接的政治对话。索马里兰，以色列对胡塞武装威胁的态度存在分歧这一立场与胡塞武装多年来袭击以色列以及红海和亚丁湾的航线后以色列的态度有很大不同。这一差距可能表明，从索马里兰的角度来看，土耳其及其与索马里政府的关系目前是比胡塞武装更核心的安全问题。
Hassan told Middle East Eye that Somaliland does not support confrontation with the Houthis and instead prefers direct political dialogue. Somaliland, Israel differ over approach to Houthi threatThat position differs significantly from Israel's approach, after the Houthis have attacked Israel and shipping routes in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden over the years. The gap may indicate that, from Somaliland's perspective, Turkey and its relationship with the Somali government currently represent a more central security concern than the Houthis.
索马里兰于1991年宣布脱离索马里独立，此后一直维持着自己的治理和安全机构。报道称，以色列是目前唯一正式承认其主权国家的国家。
Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 and has since maintained its own governing and security institutions. According to the report, Israel is currently the only country to have formally recognized it as a sovereign state.
