Grateful to the Government of India and PM @narendramodi for reaffirming India’s longstanding ties with Somalia and reiterating support for Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. India&Somalia share a long history of trade, cooperation, and people-to-people relations🤞
Scotching rumours on #Somaliland, India reiterated its longstanding ties with Somalia and stressed the importance of respecting the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, the @MEAIndia said.
@ZacGoldsmith You should know better Zac.
There is no unified entity called 'Somaliland' that represents everyone in northern Somalia. Ignoring this reality risks more conflict, more displacement, and long-term instability in Somalia and the wider region.
@YvetteCooperMP@FCDOGovUK UK government reaffirming Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity at the recent UNSC meeting is the right decision. It is a responsible choice that protects stability, respects all communities, and avoids rewarding division and violence. END

Why Israel’s unilateral recognition is dangerous for northern Somalia:
1/ Israel illegally recognised break-away region “Somaliland,” but it’s not even clear what exactly was recognised.
In the former British Somaliland Protectorate, there are now 2 political entities, not one.
@YvetteCooperMP@FCDOGovUK 14/ This is why Israel’s illegal move is not a step toward stability. It deepens divisions and legitimises a broken and contested political project driven by one clan.
