\u201cIs Israel known for charity? Is Israel known for making nations prosperous? There are no secrets in the 21st century,\u201d the Somali President said.<\/p>\n

He said it was regrettable that Somaliland, which he called \u201can administration in northern Somalia,\u201d would extend an invitation to Israel, insisting that the plan \u201cwill not be implemented.\u201d<\/p>\n

The President also said that the Somali people are known as Muslims who practice the Quran, criticizing the actions of some Somaliland officials in showing support for Israel.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Somali people are known around the world as the people of the Quran. It is very regrettable that the flag that was inscribed on the certificate today is being replaced with a sign of support for Israel,\u201d said Hassan Sheikh.<\/p>\n
