Foreign Ministry said the African Union itself determined that the union between Somaliland and Somalia was never ratified and fundamentally malfunctioned, making #Somaliland’s pursuit of international recognition “historically unique and self-justified.”
The statement references the AU Fact-Finding Mission to Somaliland (2005), which concluded that the failed 1960 union provides Somaliland with a distinct and lawful case in African political history.
