Egypt, Turkey, and Djibouti Condemn Israel’s Recognition of Somaliland. CAIRO, Egypt — December 26, 2025 — Egypt, Turkey, and Djibouti have jointly condemned Israel’s recent move to recognize the Somaliland region as an independent state, describing it as a threat to global stability and a violation of international law.
In a series of urgent telephonic consultations, the Foreign Ministers of the four nations expressed their firm support for the unity and sovereignty of Somalia.
The discussions were hosted by Egypt’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Badr Abdul Atty, who received calls from his counterparts in Somalia, Turkey, and Djibouti.
The ministers characterized Israel’s recognition of Somaliland as a direct assault on the sovereignty of the Federal Republic of Somalia and emphasized their rejection of any measures that seek to fragment the Somali state or undermine its stability.
During the exchanges, the diplomats warned that acknowledging the independence of breakaway regions sets a dangerous precedent that threatens international peace and security. They stressed the importance of respecting state sovereignty as enshrined in the United Nations Charter and called for the international community to support the legitimate institutions of the Federal Government of Somalia.
The ministers also linked the situation in the Horn of Africa to broader Middle Eastern security dynamics, emphasizing their rejection of any plans to deport the Palestinian people or force them from their lands.
They argued that creating new, illegitimate realities in the region contradicts international legitimacy and hinders the pursuit of security and development.
The diplomatic quartet concluded by stating that the imposition of parallel entities or recognition of separatist movements is formally and decisively rejected by the global community. They pledged to coordinate efforts to ensure stability in the Horn of Africa and to uphold Somalia’s sovereignty on the world stage.
Further details regarding the next steps in this diplomatic effort are expected to emerge in the coming days.
