NEW YORK, United Nations – The State of Kuwait has delivered a firm condemnation of Israel’s recent actions in the Horn of Africa, characterizing the move as unacceptable interference in the internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Somalia. Addressing the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on Tuesday, the Kuwaiti delegation reaffirmed its absolute support for the unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Somalia.
During the urgent session convened to address the diplomatic crisis, Kuwait’s representative denounced the Israeli recognition of the Somaliland region. The delegation emphasized that such actions constitute a violation of international law and the principles of the UN Charter, which mandate respect for the sovereignty of member states. Kuwait warned that external meddling in Somalia’s domestic affairs threatens to destabilize not only the country but the wider region.
The Kuwaiti diplomat expressed unwavering solidarity with Mogadishu, stating that the security and stability of Somalia are integral to Arab national security. By rejecting the fragmentation of the Federal Republic, Kuwait aligned its position with the broader consensus of the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. The delegation urged the international community to stand firm against any attempts to redraw borders or legitimize separatist entities.
This statement at the Security Council reinforces the diplomatic shield surrounding Somalia. Kuwait’s intervention highlights the unified stance of the Gulf nations in protecting the territorial integrity of their brotherly nation. The diplomat concluded by pledging Kuwait’s continued political and diplomatic support to the Federal Government of Somalia as it defends its national unity against foreign aggression.
