Africa’s regional governance bodies on Saturday rejected the recognition of Somalia’s breakaway region of Somaliland as an independent nation by Israel a day earlier, the first by any country in more than 30 years.

- ASSOCIATED PRESS

Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 during a descent into conflict and, despite having its own government and currency, had never been recognized by any nation in the world until Friday.

African Union Chair Mahmoud Ali Youssouf said any attempt to undermine Somalia’s sovereignty risks peace and stability on the continent.

He said the commission “firmly rejects any initiative or action aimed at recognizing Somaliland as an independent entity, recalling that Somaliland remains an integral part of the Federal Republic of Somalia.”
