BREAKING
All attempts to dismember Somalia are henceforth ended, and @_AfricanUnion has taken a historic stand in support of Somalia.
The Heads of State and Government of the continent gathered at the Thirty-Ninth (39th) Ordinary Session of the African Union Assembly in Addis Ababa from 14 to 15 February 2026 DECLARED
THE PRESERVATION OF THE SOVEREIGNTY, TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY, UNITY, AND STABILITY OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF SOMALIA
THE STATEMENT READ:
“WE, the Heads of State and Government of the African Union, gathered at the thirty-ninth
(39th) Ordinary Session of the African Union Assembly in Addis Ababa on 14 to 15 February 2026;
REAFFIRMING the AU’s respect for the preservation of the sovereignty, territorial integrity, unity and stability of the Federal Republic of Somalia;
RECALLING the principles enshrined in the Constitutive Act of the African Union, in particular Article 3(b) on the defence of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of Member States, and Article 4(b) on the respect of borders existing on achievement of independence;
STRONGLY REAFFIRMING its unwavering commitment to the sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia, in accordance with the Constitutive
Act of the African Union, specifically Article 4 of the Protocol Relating to the Establishment of the Peace and Security Council of the African Union, as well as the Charter of the United Nations;
REAFFIRMING the longstanding commitment of the African Union and its predecessor, the Organization of African Unity (OAU), to the principle of the intangibility of borders inherited, as solemnly pledged by all Member States in Resolution AHG/Res. 16(I)
adopted by the Assembly of Heads of State and Government at its First Ordinary Session in Cairo, Egypt, from 17 to 21 July 1964;
We hereby declare the following:
1. EXPRESS DEEP CONCERN over the unilateral recognition of the “so-called
Republic of Somaliland” by Israel as an independent entity which threatens
sovereignty, territorial integrity, unity and stability of the Federal Republic of
Somalia;
2. STRONGLY CONDEMN and REJECT all acts of external actors, in particular the unilateral recognition of the “so-called Republic of Somaliland” by Israel in the strongest terms and CALL for its immediate revocation;
3. FULLY ENDORSE the Communique of the Peace and Security Council (PSC) of
the African union (AU) [PSC/MIN/COMM.1324 (20260] adopted on 6 January 2026 at the Ministerial level, condemning and rejecting the unilateral recognition of the ‘so-called Republic of Somaliland’ by Israel; and the statement by H.E. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, Chairperson of the AU Commission, issued on 26 December 2025, rejecting any initiative or action aimed at recognizing the northern region of
Somalia (Somaliland) as an independent entity, which runs counter to the
fundamental principles of the African Union and the UN and risks setting a
dangerous precedent with far-reaching implications for peace and stability across the continent;
STRESS that no actor has the authority or standing to alter the territorial
configuration of an AU Member State, and that any such declaration is null, void, and without legal effect under international law;
STATE that any attempt to alter borders by force, or illegal means to undermine
the unity and territorial integrity of an AU Member State, contravenes the
Constitutive Act and sets a dangerous precedent with far-reaching implications for peace, security, and stability across the continent;
REGRET that such actions might threaten peace and stability in the continent, particular the Horn of Africa, hinder joint security initiatives, and establish an unacceptable precedent inconsistent with established principles;
CALL UPON all Member States and international partners to reaffirm Somalia’s sovereignty and unity, reject all illegal acts undermining these principles, and stand in solidarity to uphold African unity.
