On Tuesday, the Somali government declared Mr. Ali Mohamed Adan, Counselor II at the Ethiopian Embassy, persona non grata, emphasizing its commitment to upholding sovereignty and international diplomatic norms.
This action comes in response to activities reportedly breaching the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which governs the conduct of diplomats and the sanctity of their mission within host countries.
The decision underscores Somalia’s dedication to protecting its territorial integrity and maintaining appropriate diplomatic interactions.
Mr. Adan has been given a 72-hour window to leave the country, marking a strong stance by Somali authorities in response to the alleged violations.
