Kosovo's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora has raised concerns after nine Somali officials went missing during a state visit. A diplomatic letter, obtained by The Eastleigh Voice, states that the ministry was unable to determine the fate of the officials. The visit, which was part of diplomatic efforts to strengthen bilateral relations, reportedly included high-level meetings between officials from both countries.
The disappearance occurred during a scheduled meeting in the capital, Mogadishu. According to the letter, the Somali authorities were contacted but did not provide information on the whereabouts of the missing officials. The situation has created uncertainty, as the officials were expected to return following the conclusion of the visit.
This incident follows a series of diplomatic tensions between Somalia and its neighbors. In recent months, there have been reports of irregularities in the handling of foreign diplomats, raising questions about the security and transparency of official visits. The absence of clear communication from Somali authorities has left Kosovo seeking further clarification. The situation remains under review, with no official statement yet issued by Somalia.
