Background
The UK has long recognised Somalia as a sovereign and unified state. Recent international and regional developments have caused concern that this position may be misinterpreted or undermined. A clear reaffirmation would uphold international law, support stability in the Horn of Africa, and provide clarity to Parliament, the public, and international partners.
