India Denies Fake Claims of Talks with Somaliland

India recently said that some social media posts claiming that India's Prime Minister had talks with the President of Somaliland and that India might recognize Somaliland as a country are not true.

The Indian government said these posts are fake.

Somaliland is a region that declared independence from Somalia a long time ago but is not recognized by most countries, except Israel.

There have been some discussions about Somaliland joining a group called the Abraham Accords, which includes countries that have made peace agreements.

Somalia's president has warned that Israel's recognition of Somaliland might cause problems in the region.

There have been protests in Somalia against this recognition.

Somaliland's president says more countries might recognize them soon.
