Despite Polisario’s support, African Union refuses to recognize Somaliland

The African Union has firmly rejected Israel's recognition of Somaliland, with AU Commission President Mahmoud Ali Youssouf emphasizing the organization's commitment to Somalia's unity and sovereignty. This stance highlights the AU's adherence to historical principles, while also exposing inconsistencies within the organization, such as its acceptance of the self-proclaimed "Sahrawi Republic," a move not recognized by the United Nations.
