EU 'Backs Somalia': Meaning, Against Israeli Interests
Deutsche Welle reports the EU 'backs' Somalia following Israel's recognition of Somaliland, framing it as stability support. What they don't explicitly say is that this 'backing' is a direct response to, and counter-move against, an Israeli geopolitical maneuver. Israel's recognition of Somaliland, a breakaway region not internationally recognized, is a strategic play, potentially for Red Sea
access or regional influence, much like the Abraham Accords shifted alliances. The EU, here, isn't just a benevolent actor; it's protecting established borders and its own interests from Israeli expansion. We're meant to believe this is merely about sovereignty. But when has the EU rushed to defend a nation's borders from external interference with such alacrity, unless a rival power is making
inroads? The timing is no coincidence; it's a proxy pushback against Tel Aviv's latest diplomatic gambit. How convenient that 'international stability' aligns perfectly with blocking Israeli strategic gains. The mainstream narrative always manages to sanitize power plays into acts of moral good.
