The Revolution Leader, Sayyed Abdul‑Malik Badr al‑Din al‑Houthi, affirmed that the Israeli enemy’s announcement recognizing the Somaliland region as a separate entity from Somalia is a hostile position aimed at targeting Somalia and its African surroundings, as well as Yemen, the Red Sea, and the countries on both shores of the Red Sea.
In a statement issued regarding the latest developments in Somalia, the Revolution Leader said: “This Zionist hostile move, which aims to establish a foothold in Somalia to target the region, and also seeks to fragment the countries of the region as part of a plan not limited to Somalia—whose declared title is ‘Changing the Middle East’—is something our entire nation must confront in all forms.”
He pointed out that the Israeli enemy’s announcement in itself is false and has no value in the balance of truth or law. It is an act of aggression with aggressive objectives and a hostile program, issued by an usurping entity that lacks legitimacy for itself—so how could it grant recognition to others?
He added: “However, the Israeli enemy will work behind this move to expand the circle of recognition and cooperation with it from other parties and countries, and will seek to make the Somaliland region a foothold for hostile activities against Somalia, African countries, Yemen, and Arab countries, in a way that threatens the security of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. It will also work toward further dismantling and fragmentation of other countries in the same manner it pursued in Somalia.”
The Revolution Leader stressed the need for the Arab and Islamic stance to be firm , serious in standing alongside Somalia and supporting the Somali people, thwarting the Israeli enemy’s schemes, exerting pressure on traitors collaborating with it in the Somaliland region, and taking measures at the international level, including adopting a firm position within all international institutions in support of Somalia.
He said: “We affirm our firm stance with the brotherly Somali people against the Israeli enemy, and that we will take all possible supportive measures to stand with them. This includes considering any Israeli presence in the Somaliland region a military target for our armed forces, as it constitutes aggression against Somalia and Yemen and a threat to regional security that requires decisive measures. We will not accept that any part of Somalia be turned into a foothold for the Israeli enemy at the expense of Somalia’s independence and sovereignty, the security of the Somali people, and the security of the region and the Red Sea.”
The Leader called on all countries on both shores of the Red Sea, as well as the Arab and Islamic world, to take practical steps and measures to prevent the Israeli enemy from violating Somalia and other Muslim and independent countries.
He also emphasized the necessity for the entire nation to stand in support of and in solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people, noting that any failure in this regard gives the Israeli enemy the opportunity to advance its conspiracies against other countries. He stressed that it is an enemy of the entire nation and a danger to the countries of the region unless its aggressive conspiracies are confronted with firmness, seriousness, and responsibility.
Below is the text of the statement:
In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
In an aggressive step that falls within the framework of the Zionist enemy’s conspiracies against our Islamic nation, the Israeli enemy announced its recognition of the Somaliland region as a separate entity from Somalia, in a hostile position aimed at targeting Somalia and its African surroundings, as well as Yemen, the Red Sea, and the countries on both shores of the Red Sea.
This Zionist hostile move seeks to establish a foothold in Somalia to target the region, and also aims to fragment the countries of the region as part of a plan not limited to Somalia, but whose declared title is changing the Middle East. All of this is something our entire nation must confront in all forms.
The Israeli enemy’s announcement in itself is false and has no value in the balance of truth or law. It is an act of aggression with aggressive objectives and a hostile program, issued by an usurping entity that lacks legitimacy for itself—so how could it grant recognition to others?
However, the Israeli enemy will work behind this move to expand the circle of recognition and cooperation with it from other parties , countries, and will seek to make the Somaliland region a foothold for hostile activities against Somalia, African countries, Yemen, and Arab countries, in a way that threatens the security of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. It will also work toward further dismantling and fragmentation of other countries in the same manner it pursued in Somalia.
In the face of this Zionist aggression against Somalia and the region, we affirm the following:
The necessity for the Arab and Islamic stance to be firm and serious in standing alongside Somalia and supporting the Somali people, thwarting the Israeli enemy’s schemes, exerting pressure on traitors collaborating with it in the Somaliland region, and taking measures at the international level, including adopting a firm position within all international institutions in support of Somalia.
We affirm our firm stance with the brotherly Somali people against the Israeli enemy, and that we will take all possible supportive measures to stand with them. This includes considering any Israeli presence in the Somaliland region a military target for our armed forces, as it constitutes aggression against Somalia and Yemen and a threat to regional security that requires decisive measures. We will not accept that any part of Somalia be turned into a foothold for the Israeli enemy at the expense of Somalia’s independence , sovereignty, the security of the Somali people, and the security of the region and the Red Sea.
We also call on all countries on both shores of the Red Sea, as well as the Arab and Islamic world, to take practical steps and measures to prevent the Israeli enemy from violating Somalia , other Muslim and independent countries.
We further affirm the necessity for the entire nation to stand in support of and in solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people, as any failure in this regard gives the Israeli enemy the opportunity to pursue its conspiracies against other countries. It is an enemy of the entire nation and a danger to the countries of the region unless its aggressive conspiracies are confronted with firmness, seriousness, and responsibility.
God is sufficient for us, and He is the best Protector and the best Supporter.
