Somalia’s foreign ministry denounces Israel’s “deliberate attack” on its sovereignty by recognizing its northern region of Somaliland as an independent state, warning that this would “undermine regional peace.”
“Illegitimate actions of this nature seriously undermine regional peace and stability, exacerbate political and security tensions,” the ministry says in a statement.
