  1. Somalia Is Breaking Apart: Federal System Collapsing in Real Time - SL360 │ Episode 10

    Somalia Is Breaking Apart: Federal System Collapsing in Real Time - SL360 │ Episode 10

    For decades, Somalia’s leaders and their foreign backers have pushed a dangerous myth — that Somalia’s federal system is “working,” that unity is returning, and that Mogadishu is rebuilding a functioning state.   But the truth is far different.   In this episode of Somaliland 360, Abdifatah Qalinly exposes how Somalia’s federal project was engineered more to counter Somaliland than to solve Somalia’s deep internal conflicts — and how that obsession has helped accelerate Somalia’s internal fragmentation (Puntland, Jubaland, Galmudug) instead of healing it.   Inside This Episode:   • Segment 1 – The Myth of Unity: How the “federal Somalia” narrative hides a collapsing state.
• Segment 2 – The Real Source of Instability: Why internal corruption, clan divisions, and denial fuel chaos.
• Segment 3 – The Security Argument That Doesn’t Add Up: How federal dysfunction weakens counterterrorism and governance.
• Segment 4 – Somaliland’s Working Model: Peaceful power transitions, local governance, and stability built for Somaliland’s needs.
• Segment 5 – Turning Conflict into Cooperation: Why Somalia’s best шанс is to stop fighting Somaliland and rebuild from within.   🎧 Key Message: 
Somalia cannot rebuild by obsessing over Somaliland — it can rebuild only by confronting its own reality.
If Somalia accepts Somaliland as an independent neighbor, it can finally focus inward, learn from what works, and pursue real stability.   Somaliland stands as a proven model of democracy, stability, and locally rooted governance in one of the world’s most volatile regions.   📺 Presented by: Blueprint Media / Somaliland 360

    Somalia’s Propaganda Exposed: Why Recognizing Somaliland Brings Stability, Not Chaos │ Somaliland 360 │ Episode 9

    For decades, Somalia’s leaders and their foreign backers have pushed a dangerous myth — that recognizing Somaliland would destabilize Somalia, spark new wars, and threaten the fragile security of the Horn of Africa. But the truth is far different. In this episode of Somaliland 360, Abdifatah Qalinly exposes how Mogadishu’s fear campaign has been weaponized to block Somaliland’s recognition — and how this lie has protected power, not peace. 🧩 Inside This Episode: • Segment 1 – The Myth of Destabilization: Why Somalia blames Somaliland for its own chaos.• Segment 2 – The Real Source of Instability: How corruption and failure empower extremism.• Segment 3 – The Security Argument That Doesn’t Add Up: Why recognition strengthens, not weakens, the region.• Segment 4 – Somaliland: The Stabilizer of the Horn: A record of peace, democracy, and progress.• Segment 5 – Turning Fear into Opportunity: The world must choose — reward failure or recognize success. 🎧 Key Message:Recognition of Somaliland does not destabilize the Horn of Africa — it anchors it. Somaliland stands as a proven model of democracy, stability, and good governance in one of the world’s most volatile regions. 📺 Presented by: Blueprint Media / Somaliland 360🎙️ Host: Abdifatah Qalinly #Somaliland360, #BlueprintMedia, #Somaliland, #Somalia, #HornOfAfrica, #Recognition, #SomalilandIndependence, #SomalilandNews, #SomalilandRecognition, #BlueprintSomaliland, #SomaliaPropaganda, #Geopolitics, #AfricaNews, USA, #China, #Turkey, #Qatar, #RedSea, #Recognition,

    Somalia’s War on Somaliland: Foreign Masters, Corruption, and the Fight for Recognition │ Somaliland 360 │ Episode 8

    Somaliland 360 – Episode 8: “Somalia’s War on Somaliland: Failure, Foreign Masters, and the Road to Recognition.” For over 30 years, Somalia has been the world’s number one failed state, yet instead of rebuilding its nation, it has waged a relentless covert and overt war against Somaliland — a peaceful democracy it hasn’t governed since 1991. This episode exposes how Mogadishu has sold its sovereignty to China, Turkey, and Qatar, using foreign loans, weapons, and influence to undermine Somaliland’s progress while ignoring famine, terrorism, and poverty at home. 🎯 Meanwhile, Somaliland has achieved what Somalia could not — stability, democracy, and resilience without foreign armies or billions in aid.From Berbera’s strategic rise to Somaliland’s global partnerships with Taiwan and the diaspora, this is the story of two nations moving in opposite directions — one collapsing, one ascending. 💥 In this powerful episode, Abdifatah Qalinly breaks down: ·       Why Somalia is obsessed with destroying Somaliland’s success. ·       How Mogadishu sold its sovereignty to foreign powers. ·       The human cost of Somalia’s corruption and neglect. ·       Why Somaliland’s democratic model is winning global respect. ·       And why recognition is now inevitable. 📌 Watch, share, and subscribe to Somaliland-360 for unfiltered, fact-driven analysis from the Horn of Africa. 🔔 Subscribe here → www.youtube.com/@Somaliland360📺 Presented by Blueprint Media #Somaliland360, #Somaliland, #Somalia, #HornOfAfrica, #USA, #China, #Turkey, #Qatar, #RedSea, #Recognition, #BlueprintMedia,

  4. Washington Breaks the Silence: H.R. 5300 and America’s First Step Toward Recognizing Somaliland │ Somaliland 360 │ Episode 7

    Washington Breaks the Silence: H.R. 5300 and America’s First Step Toward Recognizing Somaliland │ Somaliland 360 │ Episode 7

    On September 18, 2025, the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee quietly made history. Hidden inside the State Department Reauthorization Bill (H.R. 5300) was Section 305 — a bipartisan provision directing the establishment of a U.S. representative office in Hargeisa and the creation of separate travel advisories for Somaliland, officially distinguishing it from Somalia. For Somaliland, this marks the beginning of official U.S. engagement — the first step in a strategic four-phase plan: 1️⃣ Diplomatic ties through a representative office2️⃣ Military cooperation via Berbera and Red Sea security3️⃣ Economic and investment partnerships4️⃣ Formal recognition In this episode, host Abdifatah Qalinly breaks down: ·       Why H.R. 5300 changes U.S.–Somaliland relations forever ·       How this mirrors the paths of Kosovo and South Sudan ·       What America gains from a foothold in Somaliland amid the global power race with China, Russia, and Turkey ·       And why September 18 may be remembered as the day Washington broke its silence 🎧 Watch the full episode to understand the turning point in Somaliland’s road to recognition.

    Trump Declares the One Somalia Policy Dead│ Somaliland 360 │ Episode 6

    For over thirty years, U.S. foreign policy clung to the One Somalia Policy—pouring billions of dollars into Mogadishu in the hope of rebuilding a unified state. The result? Somalia remains unstable, divided, and leaning toward China and its allies. Now, President Donald J. Trump has officially ended that failed approach. In its place, he has opened the door to recognizing Somaliland—a stable democracy, a strategic ally, and a rising partner at the gateway of the Red Sea. In this episode of Somaliland 360, Abdifatah Qalinly explores: ·       Why the One Somalia Policy failed after decades of support ·       How Somaliland built peace, democracy, and security on its own ·       Why Trump’s pivot is both a counter to China and a new U.S. alliance strategy ·       What recognition could mean for the Horn of Africa, global shipping, and world order 📌 This is more than diplomacy—it’s a turning point in history. 👉 Subscribe to Somaliland 360 for more in-depth conversations:www.youtube.com/@Somaliland360 #Somaliland, #Somalia, #Trump, #Recognition, #HornOfAfrica, #USForeignPolicy, #China, #RedSea, #Berbera, #BlueprintMedia, #Somaliland360,
