Somalia Rejects Yemen Split, Backs Saudi Peace Role

Somalia has publicly declared its support for a unified Yemen. The government in Mogadishu made the statement on Tuesday. Officials rejected any actions that could weaken Yemen's recognized government or national institutions. They said these actions threaten the country's constitutional legitimacy. Somalia also expressed support for Saudi Arabia's role in regional peace efforts. The statement aligns Somalia with nations seeking a political solution to the long-running conflict in Yemen. The conflict involves Yemen's internationally recognized government and Houthi rebels. Somalia's position reinforces the importance of Yemen's unity and stability for the wider region.
