History

In 2002, Germany considered recognising Somaliland and establishing a military base in the country. They did not do so and the naval base was instead established in Djibouti.[1][2][3] German naval ships already operated from Berbera.[1] In September 2012, at the mini-summit on Somalia on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly, the German government re-affirmed its continued support for Somalia's government, territorial integrity and sovereignty.[4] In 2019, the German ambassador to Kenya and Somalia visited Hargeisa and met with Muse Bihi Abdi.[5]
