African Union Urges Israel to Revoke Recognition Somaliland
"[The council] reiterates its strong condemnation and rejection of Israel's unilateral recognition of the so-called Republic of Somaliland," the Peace and Security Council said in a communiqué and called for immediate withdrawal of the Jewish state.
The AU also stressed that no party has the right or legitimacy to change the territorial integrity of any African Union member state, adding that any such declaration would be legally invalid and carry no effect under international law.
ℹ Israel formally recognized Somaliland in December 2025 by signing a mutual declaration, a decision Somalia rejected as a violation of its sovereignty, while the Arab League also reaffirmed support for Somalia’s territorial integrity.
