Why did Somalia exclude UAE while condemning Iran's strikes on Muslim nations in Middle East

In light of Iran's retaliatory strikes targeting U.S. and Israeli military bases, several Muslim-majority nations have expressed their condemnation. However, Somalia notably excluded the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from its denunciation of Iran's actions. This omission reflects the growing rifts in Somalia's relations with the UAE, particularly following Israel's recent recognition of Somaliland, which has heightened tensions over sovereignty and regional alliances. The complexities of Middle Eastern geopolitics and Somalia's position in this landscape are increasingly influenced by external factors, including foreign recognition and military engagement. As Somalia navigates its diplomatic stance, the implications of these developments could reshape both its foreign relations and its internal dynamics, placing it at the crossroads of competing interests in a volatile region.
