Somali Foreign Minister Condemns UK Ambassador’s Comments as “Unacceptable”In a recent statement.The UK Ambassador compared Somalia and Somaliland in a tweet while praising the work of a UK-based organization, HALO Trust, This intentional equivocation of sovereignty to parts of Northern Somalia by European Ambassadors must be seriously reprimanded by the Somalia Ministry of Foreign Affair..
Somalia’s Foreign Minister, Ahmed Moallim Fiqi, has warned foreign diplomats sternly, cautioning them against using the phrase “Somalia and Somaliland.” In a recent statement, the Minister emphasized that referring to the two as separate entities is “utterly unacceptable” and amounts to a “blatant attack” on Somalia’s sovereignty and unity.
The fragmentation of a unified entity and its reclassification under two distinct names is utterly unacceptable and constitutes a blatant attack on the sovereignty and unity of Somalia, The British diplomat seems to have inadvertently violated diplomatic protocol when his tweet conveyed a complete unfamiliarity with the geopolitical tension triggered by the illegal maritime Memorandum of Understanding that the Somaliland administration signed with Ethiopia in January 2024.
