US relying on UAE military presence in Somaliland as Trump takes aim at alleged ‘Houthi infiltration’ in Somalia
|
[HodhodYemenNews] Satellite imagery have shown that the United Arab Emirates has deployed advanced Israeli multi-mission radar systems, the ELM-2084 3D AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array), Radar to northeastern Somalia, specifically to the Puntland
...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion...

The emergence of the satellite imagery comes amid accusations that the UAE has been conducting suspicious military flights to Somaliland
 ...Republic of Somaliland is an unrecognised sovereign state in the Horn of Africa, recognised internationally as a de jure part of Somalia. It is located in the southern coast of the Gulf of Aden with approximately 5.7 million residents as of 2021. The capital and largest city is Hargeisa. The government regards itself as the successor state to British Somaliland, which united from 1960 to 1991 with the Trust Territory of Somaliland (the former Italian Somaliland) to form the Somali Republic. Under the Siad Barre regime, Somaliadestroyed ninety percent of Hargeisa Per international law, once you're in, you gotta stay in, no matter how bad it smells....

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
The UAE has taken responsibility for establishing a military base for the Zionist entity and for deploying its defensive military technology in Somaliland in mid-2024, in an effort to reduce Yemeni military operations against Israel.
It is worth noting that the "ELM-2084" system is produced by the Israeli company "Elta," a subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), and is widely used in air defense systems, including the Iron Dome system.
In recent years, Abu Dhabi has succeeded in persuading local authorities in Somaliland of the need to establish an Israeli military base in exchange for Israel working toward official recognition of the so-called "Republic of Somaliland," to secure an Israeli military presence overlooking the Bab al-Mandeb Strait and the Gulf of Aden.
The revelation of the deployment of Israeli radar systems in Somaliland coincides with new claims made by US President Donald Trump

The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements.

He indicated that he had granted US forces the freedom to act in response to threats in Somalia — a statement that signals a possible American inclination to expand the scope of military confrontations in the Horn of Africa.
