The Federal Parliament of Somalia, convening in a historic extraordinary joint session on Sunday, unanimously adopted a resolution categorically rejecting Israel’s recognition of the Somaliland region, Somalia National News Agency (SONNA) reported.
In a decisive legislative move, both the House of the People and the Upper House declared the recognition “null and void,” asserting it has no legal validity under international law.
The resolution, titled “Resolution on the Rejection and Prevention of the Violation By Israel of the Sovereignty, Territorial Integrity and Independence of the Federal Republic of Somalia,” was passed during the 1st Extraordinary Meeting of the 7th Session at the Parliament headquarters in Villa Hargeisa.
The document firmly establishes that the Northwestern Regions (Somaliland) constitute an “inseparable part” of the sovereign territory of the Federal Republic, and that any claim to secession or international recognition is “devoid of any legal basis”.
