Mohamed Yusef Ali, the defence minister of Somaliland, has dismissed news reports that Israel is in negotiations to open a military base there. Speaking on the sidelines of a conference in Tel Aviv, Yusef Ali told Reuters that Israel is training Somaliland’s military and police but denied “rumours” about a military base. Israel recognised Somaliland as an independent state in December, a move Somalia rejected and called a “deliberate attack” on its sovereignty.
