Hundreds of Somali women gathered in public protests, leaving their homes early in the morning to voice strong opposition to what they described as illegal foreign intervention and the unlawful recognition of parts of Somalia’s sovereignty.
The women warned against any actions that undermine Somalia’s territorial integrity and national unity.
They expressed gratitude to Somalia’s representative to the United Nations and the current Chairperson of the UN Security Council, Dr. Abukar Bale, praising his outstanding presentation at the United Nations, where he strongly opposed the illegal recognition of any part of Somalia.
“We came together to raise our voices for the unity of our country,” the women said. “We regret that some male politicians in Somalia are working toward division rather than unity.”
the country is one, the government is one and the parliament is one
The protesters stated that they assembled early in the morning to demonstrate against what they described as enemies interfering in Somalia’s internal affairs.
They emphasized that Somali people are capable of uniting and building peace without external interference.
“We, Somali women, are mothers of the boys and men affected by political conflict,” they added. “We demand peace, unity, and respect for Somalia’s sovereignty.”
