Mogadishu [Somalia], December 15 (ANI): Somalia on Tuesday severed diplomatic ties with Kenya, accusing it of meddling in its internal political affairs weeks before a crucial general election, The New York Times reported.
In an announcement broadcast on state television, Osman Dubbe, the Minister of Information, said Somalia was breaking off relations because Kenya had violated his country s sovereignty adding that Somalia would recall all its diplomats from Kenya and gave Kenyan diplomats seven days to leave the country. The federal government of Somalia reached this decision as an answer to the political violations and the Kenyan government s continuous blatant interference recently in our country s sovereignty. The current leadership of the Kenyan government is working on dividing the two nations, who share common interests, Dubbe said.
