On Sovereignty and Diplomatic Violation
"As you are all aware, on December 26, 2025, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, committed a grave violation against the sovereignty of Somalia. While Somalia has endured numerous historical hardships and complex challenges, it has never faced an infringement of the nature witnessed on December 26th."
The Recognition of Somaliland
"This occurred when he [Netanyahu] illegally declared recognition for the Northwestern Regions of our country as an independent state. This action is categorically unacceptable; it represents a fundamental breach of international law, bilateral agreements, and the established norms of global governance."
Constitutional and Territorial Integrity
"This is a direct assault on the sovereignty, independence, and the territorial and human unity of the Federal Republic of Somalia. We state clearly and emphatically: the Northwestern regions—known as Somaliland—remain an indivisible part of the Federal Republic. We are ensuring this fact is communicated and reinforced to the international community."
Regional and Global Security Implications
"We are informing the world that Netanyahu’s attempt to fragment Somalia constitutes a threat to regional stability and global peace. Such a precedent encourages extremist elements and secessionist movements globally. This is a trajectory toward instability that we warn against in the strongest possible terms."
National Resolve
"The Somali citizenry, including politicians, scholars, and civil leaders, have demonstrated a unified resolve to protect our nation’s sovereignty. This serves as a definitive message to Netanyahu and similar actors: these malicious efforts are destined for failure. We extend our gratitude to the brotherly nations and international organizations that have stood firmly against this violation."
