Somaliland Government Condemns the Planned Visit of the Prime Minister of Somalia to Las’anod.

Apr 11, 2025

Hargeisa, 11th April 2025 – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Republic of Somaliland strongly and unequivocally condemns the planned visit by the Prime Minister of Somalia to Laas Anod. This provocative act constitutes a blatant violation of Somaliland’s sovereignty and poses a serious threat to regional peace and stability.

Such an ill-timed visit undermines ongoing efforts to promote peace and stability in the region. The Government of Somaliland regards this as a serious escalation and firmly asserts that the Government of Somalia will bear full responsibility for any resulting tensions and destabilization.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Republic of Somaliland calls the African Union (AU), the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the United Nations (UN), the Arab League, and all international partners to recognize that the reckless actions of Somalia’s leadership continue to pose a direct threat to regional peace and security. For decades, Somaliland has withstood these provocations, steadfastly remaining a pillar of stability and a constructive force in the region.

The Government of Somaliland calls on responsible regional and international actors to take swift and collective action to address Somalia’s destabilizing conduct. Failure to act will only deepen instability and enable the rise of non-state actors in this already fragile region, leading to intensified threats such as displacement, migration, humanitarian crises, and transnational security risks.

The Republic of Somaliland reaffirms its commitment to peace, dialogue, and regional cooperation. However, it will take decisive actions in defense of its sovereignty and security against any threats.
