IGAD Calls for Restraint and Respect for Somalia's Sovereignty Amid Emerging Developments

In this regard, IGAD has taken note of reports concerning the opening of a Somaliland embassy in Jerusalem and reiterates its longstanding position that Somalia's unity and territorial integrity must be fully respected. The Secretariat expresses concern over any action or initiative that undermines the sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia, and underscores that such actions risk heightening tensions and undermining regional peace, stability, and cooperation.- IGAD -
