FRANCE 24 English Recognition of Somaliland by Israel divides the country • FRANCE 24 English

People gathered in several towns in the breakaway region of Somaliland on Sunday to celebrate its recognition by Israel — a decision condemned by the Somali president as a “threat” to stability in the Horn of Africa. Israel’s recognition of Somaliland was criticised by the African Union, Egypt, Turkey, the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council and the Saudi-based Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, and the European Union insisted Somalia’s sovereignty should be respected.
