Somali Government Condemns Illegal Arms Shipment by Ethiopia to Puntland

Mogadishu (SONNA) – The Somali government has issued a strong condemnation of a recent illegal shipment of arms and ammunition from Ethiopia to the Puntland Regional Government. This move has been described as a significant threat to Somalia’s national security and sovereignty.

In a press release, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Somalia revealed that two armed vehicles crossed the Ethiopian border into Puntland without any prior diplomatic communication, directly violating Somalia’s sovereignty.

The Ministry highlighted that this is not an isolated incident. Previous illegal arms shipments from Ethiopia have been reported, with deliveries made to cities in the Galmudug Regional Government and by air to Baidoa in the South-West Regional Administration.

The Federal Government of Somalia has called for an immediate cessation of these illegal arms activities, warning that such actions could severely undermine regional peace and stability. The government has also urged international allies and neighboring countries to condemn these actions and bolster efforts to ensure peace and security in the region.
