Republic of Somaliland’s President H.E. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi Irro has declared that Somaliland’s foreign policy remains firmly rooted in peace, mutual respect, and good neighbourly relations, while warning neighbouring countries against actions that threaten regional stability.
Speaking on current regional affairs, President Irro said that Somaliland has recently faced hostility from several countries and specifically urged both Djibouti and Somalia to respect peace and maintain constructive neighbourly ties.
“Many countries today have shown hostility toward Somaliland. I tell Djibouti and Somalia to respect peace and good neighbourliness,” President Irro stated.
The Somaliland president emphasized that the government’s diplomatic approach is based on peaceful coexistence and international respect.
“Somaliland’s foreign policy is founded on good neighbourliness, peaceful coexistence, and mutual respect,” he added.
Alongside regional concerns, President Irro addressed the severe drought conditions continuing to affect many parts of Somaliland. He revealed that the ongoing drought has forced many families to leave their homes searching for water and pasture in other regions.
“In many parts of the country, the drought still continues. I pray to Allah to send us good and beneficial rain,” the President said.
He further called on citizens to unite in prayer and solidarity during the difficult period.
“Many people have migrated from their regions to other areas. We pray that Allah accepts our supplications, grants us beneficial rainfall, and relieves us from the drought,” he said.
As the Eid celebrations get underway, President Irro also urged Somalilanders to uphold their traditional values of compassion and social unity by supporting relatives, neighbours, and vulnerable members of society.
“I remind everyone to look after their relatives and neighbours so that we may all celebrate Eid together in happiness,” President Irro concluded.
