Tens of thousands of Somalis gathered across the country Tuesday to protest Israel’s recognition of the breakaway region of Somaliland, a move condemned by more than 20 countries as an attack on the East African nation's sovereignty.

The Israeli representative decried those comments as a double standard because other nations have recognized Palestine as a state. Details by FRANCE 24 correspondent in New York, Jessica Le Masurier.
