Somalia Cancels All Agreements With UAE Over Alleged Sovereignty Violations
Somalia’s federal government has cancelled all agreements with the United Arab Emirates, including defence, security and port-related deals, accusing Abu Dhabi of interference that undermines Somalia’s unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity.
According to Arab media and an official statement issued by Somalia’s Council of Ministers, the decision was taken after authorities concluded that the UAE had engaged in activities posing a serious threat to Somalia as an independent and sovereign state. The cabinet stated that such actions violated international principles that require respect for the sovereignty of other nations.
