Algeria is part of a collective Arab and Islamic movement against the Zionist entity’s recognition of Somaliland – Algerian Al-Hiwar newspaper

Algeria, along with a number of Arab, African and Islamic countries, signed a joint statement condemning the Zionist entity’s recognition of the territory of “Somaliland” within the Federal Republic of Somalia.

The statement, issued by the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, included the participation of Jordan, Egypt, Comoros, Djibouti, Gambia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Maldives, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia,

Sudan, Türkiye, Yemen, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

The statement affirmed the “categorical rejection” of the Zionist measure, warning of its dangerous repercussions on peace and security in the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea region.

And on international peace and security, describing the recognition as “a flagrant violation of international law and the Charter of the United Nations.”

The signatory countries expressed their full support for the sovereignty of the Federal Republic of Somalia, and their rejection of any attempts to undermine its territorial integrity or threaten its territorial integrity.

The statement also linked the Zionist move to attempts to displace the Palestinian people, emphasizing the rejection of any plans of this kind.

The absence of the UAE, Morocco, and Bahrain from the statement is not noticeable, in reference to the difference in positions between Arab countries towards the transgressions of the Zionist entity and the issues of normalization.
