Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said his country opposes any Israeli presence in Somaliland, warning that recognition of the breakaway region by Israel could export regional conflicts to the Horn of Africa.
"We have never attacked Israel. We never have created problem to Israel. We don't want Israel to come to us and bring their problem to us,” Mohamud told Turkish national broadcaster TRT World in an exclusive interview.
He described the move as a "very sad situation,” urging respec for international law.
Mohamud said Israel’s recent actions are not "compatible or convenient” with international law, pointing to Gaza and a long history of conflict in the Middle East.
"It's very sad that now that has been transferred to Somalia,” he lamented.
