The Government of Republic of Somaliland strongly condemns the continued interference and deliberate destabilizing actions carried out by the Federal Government of Somalia in relation to the violent incidents that occurred today in Borama, Awdal Region.
These actions are calculated, coordinated, and clearly designed to inflame tensions, spread disinformation, and deepen divisions within the peaceful and cohesive communities of Somaliland. Such conduct constitutes a grave violation of international norms and the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states.
The Republic of Somaliland will not tolerate externally orchestrated attempts to undermine public order, weaken national unity, or incite violence against its citizens. Our security institutions remain fully committed to protecting civilians, restoring calm, and upholding the rule of law with utmost professionalism and restraint.
The government of Somaliland deeply regrets the loss of civilian lives during the resent unrest. The relevant institutions are working to commission an inquiry to establish the facts surrounding these tragic events. His Excellency, the President has called for calm and patience, reaffirming the government will continue to engage with community leaders, civil society, and all relevant stakeholders to ensure stability, accountability and peaceful resolution.
The Ministry calls upon regional organizations, the African Union, the United Nations, and all responsible members of the international community to unequivocally reject and condemn these provocative and destabilizing actions by the Federal Government of Somalia, and to respect the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and hard-won peace of the Republic of Somaliland.
Somaliland’s stability and democratic achievements are irreversible. No external interference will succeed in reversing the progress our people have made over the past three decades.
