The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Somalia has taken firm measures to safeguard national interests and uphold international diplomatic standards, underscoring Somalia’s commitment to protecting its sovereignty and adhering to international law.
The Ministry announces that Mr. Ali Mohamed Adan, currently serving as Counselor II at the Embassy of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia in Somalia, has engaged in activities incompatible with his diplomatic role.
These actions constitute a breach of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961), particularly Articles 41 and 42, which mandate diplomats to respect the laws of the host nation and abstain from involvement in its internal affairs.
As a result, Mr. Ali Mohamed Adan has been declared persona non grata and is required to depart Somalia within 72 hours of receiving this notice. This action reaffirms Somalia’s dedication to maintaining international diplomatic protocols and upholding its national sovereignty.
