Somalia has urged the United Nations Security Council to take action against the construction of a United Arab Emirates (UAE) military base in Somaliland.

Speaking at the Security Council on Tuesday, Abukar Osman, Somalia's ambassador to the UN, said the agreement between Somaliland and the UAE to establish the base in the port city of Berbera is a "clear violation of international law".

Osman also called on the Security Council to "take the necessary steps" to "put an end to these actions".

"The Federal Government of Somalia strongly condemns these blatant violations, and reaffirms that it will take the necessary measures deriving from its primary responsibility to defend the inviolability of the sovereignty and the unity of Somalia," he added.

Who will sanction the uae for violating a United nations resolution because Somalia sovreignty means shit. Uganda protecrs you . You can't enforce anything. The United States won't go against the Emirates. But this is good for Somaliland because Somaliland Somalia case wil become an international case. This will speed up the recognition of Somaliland. The uae and somaliland are winning this diplomatic row.
