Somaliland’s former president, Muse Bihi Abdi, said authorities must disclose the details of any agreement that led to Israel recognising the territory as an independent country.
In a lengthy self-recorded video address, Abdi, who remains an influential leader in Somaliland due to clan dynamics, stated that Somaliland’s constitution does not permit any action that contradicts Islamic principles.
He stressed that Somaliland would neither support actions that harm Muslims nor take advantage of the suffering of any Muslim community.
“The government has not yet disclosed what was agreed upon with Israel, and they are expected to do so,” Abdi said.
“If it turns out that the agreement violates our constitution, harms any Muslim, or fails to equally serve our mutual interests, then we will speak out about it.”
