Somalia stands against Israel due to its recognition of Somaliland
In a statement posted on social media, Mohamud wrote: “The illegal aggression of PM Netanyahu in recognising a part of Somalia's Northern region is against international law.” He further emphasized Somalia’s position, adding: “Meddling with Somalia’s internal affairs is contrary to established legal & diplomatic rules. Somalia & its people are one: inseparable by division from a far,” according to statements shared online.
Israel on Friday became the first country to formally recognize Somaliland as an independent state, a decision that has drawn criticism from Türkiye as well as multiple nations across Africa and the Middle East, according to reports.
Somaliland has operated outside the control of Somalia’s central government since declaring independence in 1991. Despite functioning as a self-governing entity with its own administrative, political, and security structures, it has not secured formal international recognition. Efforts by the region’s leadership to gain global acceptance have so far been unsuccessful, while the Somali government has been unable to reassert authority over the territory.
The federal government in Mogadishu continues to view Somaliland as an inseparable part of Somalia and rejects any recognition of its independence. It maintains that any direct engagement or agreements with Somaliland constitute an infringement on Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
