Press Release: UN Security Council Must Reconsider its Stance
By Ministry of Foreign Affairs
May 14, 2009, 13:36
The United Nations Security Council continues to doggedly condone
ephemeral trends in Somalia as given and legitimate; and, to endorse
illicit and externally imposed "transitional governments" that do not
represent neighborhoods in Mogadiscio let alone the entire Somali
people. The UN Security Council has further condoned acts of external
invasion against Somalia. It is clear that these misguided positions
contravene the independence, sovereignty as well as unity of Somalia and
constitute a grave breach of the Charter of the United Nations and
international law.
These illegal and unconstructive positions of the Security Council have
exacerbated the political vacuum that has enveloped Somalia; aggravated
piracy and lawlessness; and, compounded the suffering of the Somali
people. These acts have further accentuated the prevalent instability in
the Horn of Africa.
In the event, the Government of Eritrea urges the UN Security Council to
take remedial action by taking stock of these violations and the
deleterious consequences that they have entailed.
