June 18, 2026 (DJIBOUTI, Djibouti): The Secretariat of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) reaffirms its commitment to the sovereignty, unity, territorial integrity, and political independence of the Federal Republic of Somalia, in accordance with the IGAD Treaty, the Constitutive Act of the African Union, and the Charter of the United Nations.


In this regard, IGAD has taken note of reports concerning the opening of a Somaliland embassy in Jerusalem and reiterates its longstanding position that Somalia’s unity and territorial integrity must be fully respected.

The Secretariat expresses concern over any action or initiative that undermines the sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia, and underscores that such actions risk heightening tensions and undermining regional peace, stability, and cooperation.
