flag UK faces criticism for backing Somaliland’s port while urging action in Sudan, undermining its moral authority.

flag The UK is under growing scrutiny for conflicting actions in Sudan and Somalia. flag While publicly urging accountability and humanitarian access in Sudan’s war, internal documents show it rejected stronger measures to halt violence, especially in Darfur. flag Simultaneously, the UK financially backs the Berbera port in Somaliland—a self-declared region it does not recognize—through its development arm, British International Investment. flag The port, co-owned with the UAE’s DP World, is strategically located and linked to regional trade and alleged arms routes, raising concerns about the UK’s role in enabling instability despite its diplomatic stance. flag Critics say this duality undermines its credibility as a neutral actor.
