Press Statement (for immediate release)

Mogadishu, Somalia
April 19, 2024

The Federal Republic of Somalia welcomes the Communiqué issued by the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Capri, Italy, from April 16 to 19. We appreciate its emphasis on the Horn of Africa and Somalia, and commend the G7's commitment to advancing peace, security, and stability in the region. We recognize their efforts to tackle food insecurity, poverty, armed conflict, extreme weather, and displacement, and value the ongoing humanitarian aid and international cooperation in addressing these challenges.

Somalia is devoted to upholding peace and security in the region and is eager to bolster its collaboration with the G7 and other international partners to ensure enduring peace and prosperity in the Horn of Africa. However, dialogue with Ethiopia remains unattainable until it revokes the illegal memorandum of understanding with the northern region of Somalia (Somaliland) and demonstrates full respect for Somalia's unity, sovereignty, and principle of non-interference.

Somalia appreciates the recognition of its progress in the institutional, macroeconomic, and security sectors. We remain committed to intensifying our fight against Al Shabaab and enhancing our institutional framework. The smooth transition of security responsibilities from the African Union Transitional Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) is vital for national stability. Somalia is actively collaborating with the African Union and international partners to plan and execute this transition effectively while continuing to develop its security capabilities with support from the global community.

🌐 Diplomatic Briefing 🌍

January 3rd, 2024

Diplomatic briefing provided by: Acting Foreign Minister and State Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, H.E. Ali Mohamed Omar.
Attendees: Ambassadors and charge d'affaires of foreign missions residing in Mogadishu.

Subject: Protesting Ethiopia's Breach of Somali Sovereignty through Unlawful MOU Signed with Northern Somalia Leader and Call for Immediate Action from the Security Council

Your Excellency,

I am holding this briefing to convey my country's deep concern and strong objection to the recent actions of the Federal Government of Ethiopia, which constitute a direct encroachment upon the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Somalia.

1. The Federal Government of Somalia is deeply concerned about the recent actions of the Federal Government of Ethiopia, which constitute a direct encroachment upon Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

2. On January 1, 2024, the Ethiopian Prime Minister, Mr. Abiy Ahmed, and the Leader of the Northern regions of Somalia (Somaliland), Mr. Musa Bihi, entered into a Memorandum of Understanding that unilaterally grants Ethiopia access to 20 KM of the Somali coastline on the Red Sea. This agreement was made without the consent or endorsement of the Federal Government of Somalia and effectively violates the country’s constitution and established international laws and norms.

3. Ethiopia’s unilateral actions undermine the principles of state sovereignty and territorial integrity, which are fundamental pillars of the United Nations Charter and the established norms of international relations. Disregarding these principles adversely impacts regional stability and establishes a troubling precedent for international relations.

4. The recent action of the Ethiopian Prime Minister undermines Somalia's efforts to remove and eliminate the terror group Al-Shabaab, which emerged after the last Ethiopian intervention in Somalia in 2006-2007. This move will undoubtedly provide propaganda and recruitment opportunities for the terror group to destabilize the region, as they have already begun to exploit it.

5. The region requires stability to improve the standard of living for its residents. Somalia and Ethiopia have endured sufficient animosities in the past, and it is time to move beyond such conflicts and work to create a peaceful environment where the young population can thrive.

6. We call on the Ethiopian Prime Minister to rescind the January 1, 2024, unlawful agreement he made with a regional authority within the sovereign state of Somalia.

7. Given the gravity of the situation and its serious implications for regional and international peace and security, we urge the international partners, through its esteemed platforms, to inform your esteemed leaders and request a swift condemnation of Ethiopia’s flagrant violations and ensure their immediate compliance with international law, thereby respecting the unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia.

8. The preservation of international law and the sovereignty of nations is paramount for fostering a tranquil and stable international community. We trust that the international community you represent will take decisive action to address this matter and uphold these fundamental values.

I thank you for your attendance and attention. If you have any questions, you may ask.

Press Statement (for immediate release)

Mogadishu, Somalia
January 03, 2024

The Federal Government of Somalia expresses deep dissatisfaction and disappointment with the recent statement made by the Executive Secretary of IGAD regarding the relations between the Federal Republic of Somalia and Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. The statement unfortunately falls short of condemning the Ethiopian Government of violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Somalia contrary to the fundamental principles of UN, AU, IGAD and other international laws.

The Federal Government of Somalia disagrees with the content of the statement issued by the Executive Secretary and consider it to be in favour of the Ethiopian Government. The Federal Government of Somalia calls upon Executive Secretary to immediately apologize, withdraw the statement and take the appropriate action.

The Federal Government of Somalia understands the importance of regional stability and cooperation and has always been an active participant in efforts to promote peace and integration within the IGAD region.
