Israel's statement regarding its recognition of the independence of the Somaliland region constitutes a new example of the Netanyahu government's unlawful actions aimed at creating instability at both regional and global levels.

This step by Israel, which persists in its expansionist policies and makes every effort to prevent the recognition of the State of Palestine, constitutes an overt interference in Somalia's internal affairs.

Decisions regarding the future of the Federal Republic of Somalia and the Somaliland region must be taken in a manner that reflects the will of all Somalis.

Türkiye, which attaches importance to peace and security in the Horn of Africa and steadfastly supports Somalia's territorial integrity, will continue to stand by the Somali people.

France condemns in the strongest possible terms the attack perpetrated today at the Imam Ali Mosque in Homs, which reportedly killed at least eight worshippers.

This despicable terrorist act, like the one that targeted the Mar Elias Church in Damascus last June, is part of a deliberate strategy aimed at destabilizing Syria and the transitional authorities.

The Federal Government of Somalia categorically and unequivocally rejects the deliberate attack to its sovereignty and the unlawful step by Israel purporting to recognize the northern region of Somalia.

The Somaliland Region is an integral, inseparable, and inalienable part of the sovereign territory of the Federal Republic of Somalia.

The Federal Government underscores that Somalia is a single, indivisible sovereign state, and no external actor has the authority or standing to alter its unity or territorial configuration. Any declaration, recognition, or arrangement that seeks to undermine this reality is null, void, and without any legal or political effect under international law.

Matters relating to Somalia's unity, governance, and constitutional order remain the exclusive prerogative of the Somali people, to be resolved solely through lawful, constitutional, and peaceful means.

Somalia further reiterates its principled and unwavering support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination, and its firm rejection of occupation, forced displacement, demographic engineering, and settlement expansion in all their forms.

In this regard, Somalia will never accept to make the Palestinian people stateless.

Somalia makes clear that it will not permit the establishment of any foreign military bases or arrangements on its territory that would draw Somalia into proxy conflicts or import regional and international hostilities into this region.

The Federal Government of Somalia warns that illegitimate actions of this nature seriously undermine regional peace and stability, exacerbate political and security tensions in the Horn of Africa, the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, the Middle East and the wider region.

Such actions contravene the collective responsibilities of states to combat terrorism, including Al-Shabaab and ISIS, and risk creating enabling conditions for terrorist groups to exploit political instability and undermine ongoing peace and security efforts.

He (Zelensky) doesn’t have anything until I approve it.

So we’ll see what he’s got.
