MOGADISHU – The Federal Government of Somalia has faulted a statement by the IGAD Executive Secretary Dr. Workneh Gebeyehu regarding the relations between the Federal Republic of Somalia and Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.

In an official statement, Somalia said the comments by the Executive Secretary falls short of condemning the Ethiopian Government of violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Somalia contrary to the fundamental principles of UN, AU, IGAD and other international laws.

“The Federal Government of Somalia disagrees with the content of the statement issued by the Executive Secretary and consider it to be in favor of the Ethiopian Government,” the statement reads.  

The Federal Government of Somalia further stated that it calls upon Executive Secretary to immediately apologize, withdraw the statement and take the appropriate action.

“The Federal Government of Somalia understands the importance of regional stability and cooperation and has always been an active participant in efforts to promote peace and integration within the IGAD region,” concludes the statement.
