The United States 🇺🇸 has a clear opportunity to establish a strategic foothold in the Republic of Somaliland—anchored in Berbera, a gateway to one of the most critical maritime corridors on earth.

Berbera is more than geography—it is strategic access.
•A deep-water port along the artery connecting the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean
•One of Africa’s longest runways, originally developed as a NASA emergency landing site, highlighting its exceptional length and capability
•Immediate proximity to the Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint, a linchpin of global trade

This corridor carries immense global weight:
•Around 15% of total global trade transits these waters
•Nearly 30% of global container traffic moves through this route
•Close to 10% of the world’s seaborne petroleum flows across this corridor
