RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has issued an official statement confirming its unwavering support for the sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia. In a decisive diplomatic stance, Riyadh explicitly rejected the recent declaration of mutual recognition between the Israeli occupation authorities and the Somaliland region.
The Ministry characterized the recognition as an action that entrenches “unilateral separatist measures,” asserting that such steps are in direct violation of international law. By condemning the move, the Kingdom highlighted that legitimizing these actions undermines the legal frameworks that govern state sovereignty and threatens the stability of the Horn of Africa.
Reaffirming the deep brotherly ties between the two nations, Saudi Arabia pledged its full backing to the Federal Government of Somalia in preserving its national unity. The statement serves as a clear message to the international community regarding the Kingdom’s position: the integrity of the sisterly nation of Somalia is paramount, and any attempts to fracture it through external agreements with occupation authorities are unacceptable.
