RIYADH, April 19 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) — The foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, Bangladesh, Algeria, Palestine, Türkiye, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Kuwait issued a joint statement Saturday condemning Israel's announcement of the appointment of a diplomatic representative to Somaliland, calling it a flagrant violation of Somalia's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The ministers said the move constitutes a breach of the principles of international law, the United Nations Charter, and the Constitutive Act of the African Union.
They reaffirmed their rejection of all unilateral measures that undermine the unity of states or infringe upon their sovereignty, and expressed unwavering support for Somalia's legitimate state institutions as the sole representative of the Somali people.
The joint statement warned that such actions set a dangerous precedent risking stability in the Horn of Africa, with broader implications for regional peace and security.
