Does this include the likes of TURKEY, UAE, China and Iran?
This is the hammer blow that will pivot Ethiopia more towards China.

Ethiopia pivoting more to China means more political influence and relevance for Somaliland in regards to the US? right?
Inevitably yes. With the Chinese pulling strings in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya too especially with the amount of Chinese debt Kenya has taken on lately with Lapsett corridor. The Horn is pretty much a slam dunk for the Chinese. That only leaves Somalia and Somaliland up for grabs.
I think Somaliland would have gone down the Chinese route too, but the US through proxies like the UAE (investments) and Taiwan (relationship) neutralized that early on. The UAE built the Airport, Road, Port and is building a naval base. And just like that when all is complete, the US can now swoop in on Berbera under the guise of needing to confront the Chinese momentum. Next, the “Taiwanese” will drill for oil in Somaliland 
as the price of oil shoots up.
The Ethiopians have also been cosying up to Somaliland lately with all that shuttle diplomacy and upgrading their representative in Hargeisa to Ambassador. This has nothing to do with Zaylac as suggested by many. This is more to do with Ethiopia preferring the pipelines for the gas and oil they will be drilling soon, to go through Somaliland to Berbera rather than Djibouti (after the recent war do you wanna put all your eggs in Djibouti). Abiy probably also promised to divert more traffic to the Berbera corridor during his recent trip to the UAE. Djibouti is probably fuming at this point and has invited Egyptian military cooperation to try to slap some sense back into Ethiopia.
Interesting times.
Looks like 2022 and 2023 will be very exciting years for Somaliland…
