Somalia Rejects Israeli Ambassador Appointment in Somaliland
In a statement issued Thursday, Somalia’s Foreign Ministry said the decision constitutes a “direct breach of Somalia’s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity,” adding that it contradicts international law, including the United Nations Charter and African Union principles, which recognize Somalia as a single, sovereign state within its internationally accepted borders.
The ministry stressed that Somalia firmly rejects any efforts to grant diplomatic or political recognition to any part of its territory outside the authority of the federal government in Mogadishu.
“Any initiative that seeks to portray it as a separate entity is without legal basis and undermines the established international consensus,” the statement said.
It added that Somalia will continue working with international partners to strengthen state institutions, promote democratic governance, support national reconciliation, and combat terrorism.
Mogadishu further warned that the reported Israeli move could undermine regional stability and encourage divisive political narratives.
