Country’s constitution prohibits any measure that undermines or harms Muslims, Muse Bihi Abdi
Still-influential former Somaliland president Muse Bihi Abdi has demanded that the agreement with Israel that led to recognising the territory as an independent country be made public.
Abdi said in a recorded video address that Somaliland’s constitution does not permit any action that contradicts Islamic principles, Middle East Eye reports.
“The government has not yet disclosed what was agreed upon with Israel, and they are expected to do so,” Abdi said.
“If it turns out that the agreement violates our constitution, harms any Muslim, or fails to equally serve our mutual interests, then we will speak out about it.”
He further emphasised that Somaliland’s constitution strictly prohibits any measure that undermines Islam or harms Muslims.
Abdi, a former Somalia air force officer during the era of military rule, previously condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza while serving in office, Middle East Eye reports.
