Kenya on Tuesday evening expressed “regrets” for inviting a Somaliland official to a diplomatic luncheon hosted by President Uhuru Kenyatta, where the Somalia ambassador was also a guest.
A Foreign Affairs ministry note sent to the Somali Embassy in Nairobi says the presence of the “Somaliland flag” at the State House meeting was “inadvertent and inappropriate.”
“The ministry further wishes to reaffirm its recognition of one Federal Somali Government and the integrity of the Federal Somali State,” it said.
The matter arose after Somalia’s ambassador to Kenya Mohamoud Ahmed Nur ‘Tarzan’, walked out of the luncheon hosted by President Kenyatta for the diplomatic corps. A representative from the self-declared independent Somaliland liaison office was also among the guests, which the ambassador saw as inappropriate.
Nothing was accidental,Kenya wanted an opportunity to use the phrase:
“inadvertent and inappropriate.”
“The ministry further wishes to reaffirm its [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]recognition of one Federal Somali Government and the [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]integrity of the Federal [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Somali [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]State,” it
