Algiers, January 15, 2026 – A special envoy from the President of the Federal Republic of Somalia delivered a message to Algeria, expressing his nation’s appreciation for Algeria’s leading role in supporting just African and Arab causes. Farah Sheikh Abdulkadir Mohamed, the envoy, made the remarks following a meeting with President Abdelmadjid Tebboune.
The envoy conveyed a written message from Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, expressing “deep gratitude and appreciation for Algeria’s leading role in supporting just African and Arab causes.” He stated that the message included Somalia’s appreciation for Algeria’s steadfast support for Somali unity and sovereignty, considering it a cornerstone of African and Arab national security and its categorical rejection of any attempts to undermine its territorial integrity.
President Tebboune, according to the envoy, affirmed Algeria’s support for Somalia’s efforts to enhance security and stability in Africa and the Arab world. The message also outlined Somalia’s clear position regarding certain regional policies and interventions, primarily those emanating from the United Arab Emirates. Somalia views these actions as contributing to the undermining of Somali unity and fueling secessionist conflicts, posing a direct threat to security, stability, and unity in both the African and Arab spheres.
Furthermore, Farah Sheikh Abdulkadir Mohamed explained that his meeting with the President was part of the follow-up to the Somali President’s previous visit to Algeria and the resulting political agreements, emphasizing the depth of fraternal relations between the two nations and their shared commitment to strengthening continuous coordination and consultation. He recalled that during that visit, the importance of unifying African and Arab positions and strengthening joint coordination within regional and international frameworks to confront current challenges and reject any external interference affecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Somalia was emphasized.
