Press Statement (for immediate release)
Mogadishu, Somalia
June 23, 2025
The Federal Republic of Somalia strongly condemns the recent attack carried out by the Islamic Republic of Iran against the State of Qatar, an act that constitutes a blatant violation of international law and poses a serious threat to regional peace and stability.
The Federal Republic of Somalia expresses its full solidarity to the Government and people of the brotherly State of Qatar and reaffirms its unwavering support for Qatar’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity. Somalia remains steadfast in its commitment to a rules-based international order, anchored in the respect for national sovereignty, the inviolability of borders, and the peaceful resolution of disputes through dialogue and mutual understanding.
We urge all parties to exercise restraint and call on the international community to stand united in upholding peace and respect for sovereign states.
