BEIJING — China and Djibouti have reaffirmed their support for Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, opposing international recognition of the breakaway region of Somaliland.
“Both sides firmly support Somalia in safeguarding its national sovereignty and territorial integrity, oppose any attempt to gain ‘diplomatic recognition’ for Somaliland,” the statement said.
The declaration comes amid diplomatic tensions over Somaliland’s longstanding bid for international recognition.
Somalia considers Somaliland an integral part of its territory and maintains that agreements with Somaliland authorities that bypass the federal government undermine the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Somaliland’s leadership has sought international recognition for decades, arguing that the territory has maintained stable institutions and governed itself separately since 1991.

Social media can be a fun and informative way to stay up-to-date with friends, co-workers, celebrities, and politicians.
But while Instagram itself has yet to provide in-app Story captioning, third party apps exist that can help you transcribe your videos and add captions at the bottom of the screen.
DiMarco's tweets to United also inspired activist and actress Jameela Jamil to add captions to her powerful "I Weigh" video interview with Sam Smith.
YouTube outlines how to add subtitles or closed captions here, for those curious.
In addition to Clipomatic, other apps like Apple's Clips can be used to easily add text, so why not give them a try?

Jeff Bezos just found himself on the receiving end of a sternly worded letter.
"In a world with face surveillance, people will have to fear being watched and targeted by the government for attending a protest, congregating outside a place of worship, or simply living their lives," it reads.
As today's letter notes, Nextgov reported earlier this month that the FBI is using Rekognition in a limited capacity.
What's more, The Daily Beast reported in October that Amazon was "pitching ICE on its face-scanning tech" as recently as this summer.
"Amazon must stop providing a face surveillance product to governments."

The experiment might seem outlandish initially, but the results demonstrate why relying on machines to identify objects in the real world could be problematic.
If an image of a stop sign was blurred (or altered), an AI program controlling a vehicle could theoretically misidentify it, leading to terrible outcomes.
The results of the study, which were published online today, show that AI programs are susceptible to misidentifying objects in the real-world that are slightly distorted, whether manipulated intentionally or not.
AI scientists call these manipulated objects or images, such as turtle with a textured surface that might mimic the surface of a rifle, "adversarial examples."
In the first experiment, the team presents a typical turtle to Google's AI program, and it correctly classifies it as a turtle.
