The Chairperson of the African Union Commission rejects any recognition of Somaliland and reaffirms the African Union’s unwavering commitment to the unity and sovereignty of #Somalia.
The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, H.E. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, has taken note, with deep concern, of recent developments relating to Somaliland.
In this regard, the Chairperson of the Commission unequivocally reaffirms the longstanding and consistent position of the African Union, grounded in the principles enshrined in the Constitutive Act of the African Union, in particular the respect for the intangibility of borders inherited at independence, as affirmed by the 1964 decision of the Organization of African Unity.
The Chairperson of the Commission @ymahmoudali firmly rejects any initiative or action aimed at recognizing Somaliland as an independent entity, recalling that Somaliland remains an integral part of the Federal Republic of Somalia. Any attempt to undermine the unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Somalia runs counter to the fundamental principles of the African Union and risks setting a dangerous precedent with far-reaching implications for peace and stability across the continent.
The Chairperson of the Commission reiterates the African Union’s unwavering commitment to the unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Somalia, as well as its full support for the efforts of the Somali authorities to consolidate peace, strengthen State institutions, and advance inclusive governance.

Israel’s unilateral recognition of Somaliland is a violation of UN charter on sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Moreover, Israel itself is a pariah state today within the international community, therefore this flagrant action doesn’t change much for SL.
Somaliland joins the likes of Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Taiwan etc.
#Ethiopia should respect the soveriegnity and territorial integrity of neighbouring countries. The only way to secure access to the sea is through bileteral negotiations. Better refrain illegal attempts that could only undermine stability of the Horn of Africa and Red Sea region.
The floods have disrupted movement of people and goods, impacting the livelihoods of people all across Jubaland. This has led to increased price of food and exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in the state. #JubalandFloods#ElNino
Waging war in #Somalia from #US where he was welcomed to live in peace & learn, calling for destruction, force displacement of women, children & elders instead of calling peaceful & civilised way of resolving local conflict, tragedy.

A Somali giant has passed on. Sheikh Mohamud Mohamed Abdi, the author of the first ever Somali Translation of the Holy Quran has died today in Nairobi, Kenya.
May Allah reward Sheikh Mohamud with His mercy and bless him with Janatul Firdows.
Quote of the day:
“Somalia belongs to the Muslim, but it belongs to the Somali Muslims, not every Muslim. We need to to tell our people that Abu Salah, Abu Ubaidah, Abu Qahtan have nothing to do with Somalia. This is a land for Jama, Alasow and Qawdhan.” - @HassanSMohamud
