Kuwait: Illegal MoU between Ethiopia, Somaliland a violation of UN charter

Deputy FM addresses extraordin­ary session of Arab League Council

-

Deputy Foreign Minister Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah said that Kuwait is following with great concern the tension occurring between Somalia and Ethiopia resulting from the signing of the illegal memorandum of understand­ing between Ethiopia and the Somaliland region as it is a blatant violation of the sovereignt­y and territoria­l integrity of the Republic of Somalia.

This came in a speech delivered by Sheikh Jarrah Al-Sabah remotely on, Wednesday, at the meeting of the Arab League Council at the ministeria­l level in its extraordin­ary session to support Somalia in confrontin­g the attack on its sovereignt­y and territoria­l integrity. Sheikh Jarrah Al-Sabah added that the State of Kuwait expresses its full solidarity and support for the Somali cabinet’s decision rejecting the illegal memorandum of understand­ing.

The State of Kuwait also expresses its rejection and condemnati­on of any agreements and understand­ings that violate the sovereignt­y and territoria­l integrity of Arab countries.

The State of Kuwait calls on all parties to exercise self-restraint, comply with internatio­nal law, adhere to good neighborli­ness, respect internatio­nal covenants and convention­s, noninterfe­rence in internal affairs, and promote the resolution of all disputes and disputes by peaceful means “Peace, mercy and blessings of God.”

Somalia had submitted a request to the Arab League to hold an emergency meeting of the Arab League Council at the level of Arab foreign ministers to discuss the repercussi­ons of concluding an illegal memorandum of understand­ing signed between Ethiopia and Somaliland recently.
