The African Union has unleashed fierce criticism of Israel's controversial recognition of Somaliland as independent, calling it a "dangerous precedent" that threatens regional stability. 🔥 The bloc demanded immediate reversal of the decision during emergency talks this week.
In a fiery statement, the AU Peace and Security Council warned the move "directly attacks Somalia's sovereignty" and could "ignite tensions in the Horn of Africa." 🚨 They emphasized that no external power can redraw Africa's borders, declaring Israel' December 26 recognition legally void.
🌐 The council urged all 55 AU member states to rally behind Somalia at the UN and reject what they called "21st-century colonialism through diplomatic means." While supporting dialogue within Somalia, the bloc vowed to block any attempts to fragment African nations.
This diplomatic earthquake comes after Israel became the first country to formally recognize Somaliland last month, sparking outrage in Mogadishu. 💥 Analysts say the move could reshape alliances in one of the world's most strategic maritime regions.
