Somaliland Concerned over Egypt’s Supply of Heavy Weapons to Somalia

The government of Somaliland has voiced serious concerns regarding Egypt’s recent supply of heavy weapons to the Mogadishu administration.

Over the weekend, there were reports that military weapons from Egypt were offloaded at the Port of Mogadishu.

Somaliland officials fear that such a move could exacerbate security tensions in a region already grappling with complex and volatile challenges.

The arms transfer is viewed as a potential threat to the fragile stability of the broader Horn of Africa, where ongoing conflicts and political divisions persist.

Somaliland, which operates as a self-declared independent state, remains wary of developments in Somalia and external military support that could alter the regional security balance.
