2020 15 dec 2020 updated 10 feb 2021 09 37 am gmt updated 10 feb 2021 09 37 am gmt somalia has severed diplomatic ties with neighbouring kenya accusing it of violating somali sovereignty and meddling in its internal affairs before a general election in a televised broadcast late on monday information minister osman dubbe said somalia had ordered all its diplomats in kenya to return while kenyan diplomats in somalia have been ordered to leave within seven days recommended stories list of 3 items list 1 of 3 somalia s parliament votes to remove pm hassan ali khaire list 2 of 3 somalia names new prime minister unveils plan for elections list 3 of 3 somalia expels kenyan envoy in row over alleged poll interference end of list kenya continues meddling in our internal political affairs and it has ignored our previous calls to stop violating our sovereignty dubbe announced on state run sntv we therefore declare that we have cut ties with kenya over its poor violations on somalia s sovereignty somali officials did not point to specific grievances for the decision but the announcement came as kenyan president uhuru kenyatta hosted in nairobi musa bihi abdi the leader of somaliland the northwestern region that declared independence from somalia in 1991 the leaders announced closer relations in a joint statement on tuesday with kenya committing to opening a consulate in somaliland s capital hargeisa by the end of march the statement added that kenyan carriers would start direct flights between nairobi and hargeisa by that date the two leaders acknowledged kenya s commitment to a peaceful stable strong and prosperous somalia in which the voices of all the people of somalia have opportunity to express their sovereign will the statement said the announcement was likely to further anger the government of president mohamed abdullahi mohamed also known by his nickname farmaajo in mogadishu which considers somaliland to be part of its territory advertisement kenyan foreign ministry spokesman cyrus oguna said on tuesday the government had set up a committee to seek a solution to the diplomatic row he added that his country had been very kind and accommodating to some 200 000 somalis living in vast refugee camps in kenya s east kenya is a major contributor of troops to amisom an african union military operation fighting the al shabab armed group waging a violent campaign as they seek to unseat the internationally backed government in mogadishu worsening relations the severing of the ties marked the culmination of steadily deteriorating ties between the two neighbours on november 30 somalia expelled kenya s ambassador and recalled its own envoy from nairobi accusing kenya of interfering in the electoral process in jubbaland one of its five semi autonomous states relations between somalia s central government and the southern state of jubbaland which borders kenya are tense as authorities of the semi autonomous region accuse mogadishu of seeking to remove president ahmed madobe and put a loyalist in power to increase central control madobe is a key ally of kenya which sees jubbaland as a buffer against al shabab fighters who have staged several bloody attacks across the border kenya has been further drawn in as it is accused of harbouring a fugitive jubbaland minister who was arrested by mogadishu for serious crimes but escaped prison in january kenya and somalia are also at odds due to a spat over maritime borders with possibly lucrative indian ocean oil and gas reserves at stake on sunday somalia s foreign ministry said it had sent a letter of complaint about kenya to the intergovernmental authority on development igad regional bloc which includes eight african countries will hold a summit on december 20 in djibouti in response to the federal government of somalia letter against kenya which was submitted to h e abdalla hamdok pm of the republic of sudan the chair of the igad assembly of heads of state and government the igad will hold a summit in djibouti on dec 20 on this matter ministry of foreign affairs mofasomalia december 13 2020 omar mahmood senior analyst for somalia at the international crisis group said the growing tensions relate to electoral dynamic and could have serious implications the farmaajo administration in mogadishu feels that kenya has been supporting the political opposition whether that s ahmed madobe in jubbaland or whether that s the political candidates that are running against them he told al jazeera advertisement a lot of them have been based in nairobi had their campaigns based there before some of them travelled to mogadishu recently so i think it very much ties with internal somali politics and election dynamics and in terms of somalia trying to put pressure on kenya to maybe reassess those relationships mahmood said one big unanswered question was the future of kenya s security participation in somalia noting that any change or push to remove the kenyan troops would have quite devastating security consequences more from news iran war day 82 tehran warns of new fronts as trump sets deadline taiwan s president says future will
