A statement from the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) reaffirmed that Mogadishu remains a sovereign member State of the regional organization, whose unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity are fully recognized by international law.
The text specified that any unilateral recognition is contrary to the United Nations Charter, the African Union (AU) Constitutive Act, and the Agreement establishing the Authority.
The Secretariat urged all international partners and stakeholders to respect international law and support dialogue and processes that strengthen peace, stability, and cooperation in the region.
Finally, it reaffirmed its solidarity with the Government and people of Somalia, as well as its commitment to inclusive political processes and regional cooperation in support of lasting peace, stability, and prosperity for that African nation and the IGAD region as a whole.
