索马里总统哈桑·谢赫·穆罕默德在接受半岛电视台专访时表示，索马里“在任何情况下”都不会接受以色列在该国驻留，并将坚决抵制任何试图将索马里卷入中东危机的企图。
Somalia will not accept Israeli presence in the country “under any circumstances” and will resist any attempts to be pulled into the Middle East’s crises, its President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud tells Al Jazeera.
穆罕默德称，以色列计划在柏培拉建立海军基地并使用当地的机场，其真正目的是拉近与海湾国家及伊朗的关系。
Speaking in an exclusive interview, Mohamud said that Israel was planning to establish a naval base in Berbera and use the city’s airport, adding that its real aim was to get closer to the Gulf states and Iran.
柏培拉是索马里兰地区位于亚丁湾沿岸的一座港口城市。索马里兰是索马里西北部的一个自行宣布成立的共和国，以色列去年承认了其独立地位，但摩加迪沙方面始终不承认这一点。
Berbera is a port city on the Gulf of Aden coast in Somaliland – the self-declared republic in northwestern Somalia that Israel recognised last year, but which is claimed by Mogadishu.
柏培拉与也门隔海相望，地处具有战略意义的曼德海峡附近。与伊朗立场一致的胡塞武装此前曾在该地区对与以色列有关的船只实施封锁。
Berbera faces Yemen across the water near the strategic Bab al-Mandeb strait. The Iran-aligned Houthis have previously enforced a blockade on Israel-linked ships in the area.
穆罕默德在采访中强调：“我们定能克服以色列种种举动给国家带来的挑战。”
“We will overcome the challenges posed to our country by Israeli moves,” Mohamud said in his wide-ranging interview.
他还指出，以色列的这些计划属于“大以色列”计划的一部分——这一术语泛指一系列以《圣经》解读为依据、主张以色列控制现有边界以外领土的提议，其中一些方案甚至设想将控制范围从尼罗河延伸至幼发拉底河。
He added that the Israeli plans fall under the “Greater Israel” project – referring to a term for various proposals, often rooted in biblical interpretations, for Israeli control over territory beyond its current borders. Some versions extend from the Nile to the Euphrates.
虽然以色列并未将这一计划定为官方政策，但总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在2025年8月的一次采访中表示自己认同这一愿景，此举随即遭到多个阿拉伯国家政府的谴责。
Israel has not adopted it as official policy, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an August 2025 interview that he felt connected to the vision, prompting condemnation from Arab governments.
穆罕默德称，以色列是一股“破坏稳定的力量”，完全无视国际法。他还批评了以色列去年12月承认索马里兰独立的决定。
The Somali president described Israel as a “destabilising force” that does not abide by international law. He also criticised Tel Aviv’s recognition of Somaliland in December.
据他介绍，除以色列外没有任何国家承认索马里兰，而当地民众也坚决反对以色列在该地区的存在。
No country other than Israel recognises Somaliland, while the region’s own residents are completely opposed to an Israeli presence, Mohamud said.
索马里兰于1991年宣布脱离索马里独立，此后三十多年来一直实行自治。在以色列承认其独立之前，该地区始终未获得任何联合国成员国的承认。
Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 and has governed itself independently for more than three decades. But it had not secured recognition from any United Nations member state until Israel’s move.
打击武装组织 索马里总统对半岛电视台表示，在打击“恐怖主义”的斗争中，美国仍是索马里最坚实的合作伙伴。他还强调，目前“青年党”在索马里各大城市均无据点，因此该组织绝无可能掌控整个国家。
Fight against armed groups The Somali president told Al Jazeera the United States remains his country’s strongest partner in the fight against “terrorism”, and added that al-Shabab has no presence in the major cities, leaving no possibility of the group taking control in Somalia.
“青年党”是一支源自2000年代中期“伊斯兰法院联盟”的索马里武装组织，2012年宣誓效忠“基地”组织。多年来，该组织一直与索马里联邦政府为敌，目前控制着索马里南部及中部部分地区，并多次发动致命袭击，袭击地点包括摩加迪沙及邻国肯尼亚。
Al-Shabab is a Somali armed group that emerged from the Islamic Courts Union in the mid-2000s and pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda in 2012. It has fought Somalia’s federal government for years, holds territory in parts of southern and central Somalia, and has carried out deadly attacks, including in Mogadishu and in neighbouring Kenya.
谈及东非地区局势，穆罕默德称索马里与邻国埃塞俄比亚关系良好，摩加迪沙也不反对埃塞俄比亚通过索马里领土获得出海口。
Regarding the East Africa region, Mohamud said Somalia’s relations with neighbouring Ethiopia are good, and Mogadishu does not object to Addis Ababa gaining access to the sea through Somali territory.
自1993年厄立特里亚独立后，埃塞俄比亚便成为内陆国家，其对外贸易主要依赖吉布提的港口。2024年1月，埃塞俄比亚与“索马里兰”签署了关于获取出海权的谅解备忘录，此举遭到索马里的强烈反对，索马里认为这侵犯了其主权。不过后来两国同意缓和紧张关系。
Ethiopia has been landlocked since Eritrea became independent in 1993 and relies largely on Djibouti’s ports for trade. In January 2024, Addis Ababa signed a memorandum of understanding with Somaliland on sea access, which Somalia condemned as a violation of its sovereignty. Somalia and Ethiopia later agreed to ease tensions.
胡塞武装破坏地区稳定 穆罕默德还指责也门的胡塞武装正在“破坏地区稳定”，并扰乱曼德海峡的航运秩序。
Houthis ‘destabilising’ region Mohamud also accused Yemen’s Houthis of “destabilising” the region and disrupting navigation in the Bab al-Mandeb strait.
此番言论发表之际，胡塞武装正试图巩固上个月取得的战果——他们迅速攻占了也门的红海沿岸地区。
His comments come as the group attempts to build on its lightning offensive that captured the country’s Red Sea coast last month.
目前，也门政府军仍能守住前线阵地，甚至宣称已给胡塞武装造成重创。与此同时，胡塞武装对沙特阿拉伯的袭击也愈发频繁。不过沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼强调，沙特绝不会在安全问题上让步，并称这些也门反叛分子选择了“制造混乱与破坏，威胁到也门人民乃至整个地区的安定”。
Thus far, Yemeni government forces have been able to hold their positions on the front lines and even claimed to have inflicted heavy losses against the Houthis. The Houthis have also intensified their attacks on Saudi Arabia, but the kingdom’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has promised not to compromise on its security, saying the Yemeni rebels chose “chaos and destruction, threatening the Yemeni people and the region”.
对穆罕默德总统的完整采访将于周日通过半岛电视台阿拉伯语频道播出。
The full interview with President Mohamud will be broadcast on Al Jazeera Arabic on Sunday.
