AU calls for immediate revocation of Somaliland’s recognition by Israel

The African ‍Union’s Political Affairs Peace and ‍Security council called on Tuesday for the “immediate revocation” of Israel’s ⁠recognition of Somaliland.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sara visited Somaliland on Tuesday on a trip that was denounced ‍by Somalia, 10 days after Israel ‍formally recognized ‍the self-declared ⁠republic ‌as an independent and ⁠sovereign ‍state.

“The (AU) Council strongly condemns, ⁠in the strongest terms, the unilateral ‌recognition of the so-called ‘Republic of Somaliland’ by Israel,” it said in ‍a post on X after a ministerial meeting.
