Somalia Threatens Bab el-Mandeb Strait Access Curbs
"Any Country interfering in Somalia's internal affairs and compromising its territorial integrity and sovereignty will face repercussions, including potential restrictions on access to the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait," Somalia's Ambassador to Ethiopia Abdullahi Warfa wrote on X.
He did not name specific countries, but Somalian media reports indicate the remarks target Israel, which recognized Somaliland's independence late last year.
Israel's move has been condemned by many countries, as well as international and regional organizations.
