Dar es Salaam. Somalia’s ambassador to Tanzania and permanent representative to the East African Community (EAC) has welcomed the bloc’s move to reaffirm Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, saying the statement sends a strong signal against unilateral actions that threaten regional stability.
The remarks follow a statement issued by the EAC Secretariat in Arusha on Sunday, in which the regional bloc said it “recognises the Federal Republic of Somalia as a single sovereign state under the authority of the Government of the Federal Republic of Somalia” and urged all parties to act within established regional and international legal frameworks on sovereignty and territorial integrity.
