"Republic of Somaliland and the Fedeal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) today. In the MoU, Ethiopia officially recognises the Republic of Somaliland while Somaliland grants naval and commercial sea access on lease to Ethiopia for 50 years."
The signing of an agreement between Ethiopia and the breakaway Somaliland Republic has left ethnic Somalis from Djibouti down to Eastleigh very agitated.

The only Internationally recognized sovereign Somali Government with powers to contract is the Federal Republic of Somalia with Mogadishu as its seat of Government. PM Abiy representing the Federal Government of Ethiopia cannot sign a deal with a regional state. That is a sure recipe for a conflict in HOA. I had a lot of faith in PM Abiy ability to create durable peace in the HOA. Unfortunately hopes for HOA peace and economic integration are increasingly in peril. AU’s charter forbids secessions & respects the inviolability of the territorial integrity of all member States. This is a dangerous move for the Region and the wider continent. TPLF/Meles lost big time because of such reckless adventurism. The Somali Nation & the never accept such transgression. -Farah Maalim, Former Kenya Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly and MP for Dadaab.
