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


Sign us up. If the Brits ever just up and hand the key to Diego Garcia over to the Chinese, here's your backup plan.
