Somalia cuts diplomatic ties with Kenya citing interference

Somalia has severed diplomatic ties with neighbouring Kenya, accusing it of violating Somali sovereignty and meddling in its internal affairs before a general election. In a televised broadcast late on Monday, Information Minister Osman Dubbe said Somalia had ordered all its diplomats in Kenya to return, while Kenyan diplomats in Somalia have been ordered to leave within seven days. “Kenya continues meddling in our internal political affairs and it has ignored our previous calls to stop violating our sovereignty,” Dubbe announced on state-run SNTV. “We, therefore, declare that we have cut ties with Kenya over its poor violations on Somalia’s sovereignty.”

Somalia cuts diplomatic ties with Kenya over political interference

Somalia announced it has severed diplomatic ties with Kenya, accusing it of interfering in Somalia s sovereignty. Tensions had been rising between the neighbours as Kenya hosted the President of Somaliland, a breakaway state not recognised by the central government in Mogadishu which considers the territory part of Somalia. Somali Information Minister Osman Dube announced the government’s decision in a televised speech late on Monday, saying its diplomats had been ordered to return and Kenyan envoys in Somalia have been ordered to leave within seven days. The Somali government considers the people of Kenya a peace-loving community who want to live in harmony with other societies in the region. But the current leadership of Kenya is working to drive the two sides apart, he said in Mogadishu.
