I say give it to them in return for investment for our country and equipment for our army

I saw this earlier today

Also keep in mind Siilanyo stopped by the Dubai this week.

My verdict,

They will get that base, thru desperate to confront the Huthi threat

I hope they get the base. More cooperation between somaliland and the gulf nations is needed

It would only be worth it if they recognized Sl, otherwise being in anyway part of the revolting war in the Yemen, even tangentially, would not be worth it, morally speaking. #muslimlivesmatterexceptwhentheydon't

As long as they as they pay us every year I don't mind

We need the extra revenue and we need Berbera to be seen as an alternative to Djoubiti

@merka what do you think

@merka what do you think

I don't like it. We shouldn't get involved in this Sunni vs shia war. There's no real benefit for SL other than some government officials getting rich.

UAE won't sell any military equipment since they buy everything from the US. SL won't be able to get any unless they make an under the table deal.

UAE isn't even a real military power (60k personnel). Somaliland can get better deals from other countries if they really want a foreign base. A deal with Russia would be interesting.

I am still waiting to hear what they offer in return for the base

We can use it as leverage just like what happened with the port deal.

Make countries fight each other on who can offer a better deal.

Good news for Somalia. SL people kiss good bye to your recongnization project, for The base will be run by Egyptian military and Egypt was against separation of Somalia since day one. The deal is SL will enjoy with tourism projects, electricity projects, and improvement of infrastructure but no separation( just federal state under Somalia). That's fair enough. Now don't mess your projects when Egyptians come. Be content and stop these illusions of separation. The Arab said no to separation of Somalia and same UAE government is paying for SNA salaries and training them.
