Military deals with foreign forces rarely bring peace to Muslim lands. Look at what happened elsewhere. May Allah protect our Somali brothers.

Honestly, I fear this will just escalate tensions. The Ummah needs unity, not more bases for outsiders to dictate terms.

Self-interest is one thing, but inviting foreign militaries is a dangerous game. The Horn of Africa doesn't need more proxy conflicts.

True that. Regional stability is fragile. Any cooperation that angers neighbors could backfire bad. We should learn from history.

As a Muslim from the diaspora, it's painful to see our homelands become chessboards. Somaliland's stability shouldn't be traded for short-term gains.
