  Warbixintii dhowaan ka soo baxday afhayeenka Waaxda Arrimaha Dibadda ee Mareykanka, Tommy Pigott, ayaa iftiisay xaaladda sii xumaanaysa ee dalka Suudaan, gaar ahaan walaaca laga qabo isbeddelka khatarta ah ee loo jihaystay dhanka "xal milateri."

Navigating Regional Challenges: The Somalia-Ethiopia Dispute

Image
By
In a recent statement issued by a United Nations official, the African Union's apparent lack of progress in mediating the ongoing dispute between Somalia and Ethiopia has raised concerns. Catriona Laing, the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General to Somalia, expressed dissatisfaction with the African Union's handling of the matter, highlighting its avoidance during a recent summit in Addis Ababa. This oversight comes at a critical time when tensions between member states should be addressed to ensure regional stability.

The focal point of the disagreement revolves around a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed on January 1 between Ethiopia and Somaliland, a breakaway province recognized by Somalia as part of its territory. Somalia vehemently opposed the MoU, declaring it null and void, further exacerbating the strained relations between the two nations.

Ms. Laing's Concerns:

During a session of the United Nations Security Council, Ms. Laing expressed her disappointment that the African Union summit chose to divert attention away from the Somalia-Ethiopia situation. The summit, instead, concentrated on the theme of the year, focusing on education, research, and innovation. Ms. Laing emphasized that the tensions arising from the MoU conflict with the significant gains Somalia has recently achieved.

Somalia's Achievements:

Despite the ongoing dispute, Somalia has made substantial progress in various areas. The country recently gained admission to the East African Community, achieved the completion point of the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative led by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and successfully eased a weapons embargo. Notably, Somalia secured the backing of the Executive Council of the African Union for a seat on the Security Council in the 2025-26 term.

The Impact on Regional Stability:

The failure to address the Somalia-Ethiopia dispute at the African Union summit has broader implications for regional stability. With tensions lingering, Somalia's hard-won achievements could be overshadowed by the unresolved conflict, potentially hindering the collaborative efforts of the African Union in promoting peace and security within the continent.

As the African Union grapples with the delicate task of managing conflicts between member states, the Somalia-Ethiopia dispute stands out as a significant challenge. The failure to address this issue directly at the recent summit raises questions about the effectiveness of regional bodies in resolving conflicts and promoting stability. The international community will be closely watching how the African Union responds to these concerns and whether it can foster meaningful dialogue to de-escalate tensions between Somalia and Ethiopia.

Somali Parliamentarians Decry Port Deal Between Ethiopia and Somaliland

By
Nairobi, Kenya: Tensions flared Thursday as Somali parliamentarians in Kenya, along with prominent Somali leaders, vehemently condemned the recent port deal struck between Ethiopia and the breakaway region of Somaliland. The agreement, signed by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Somaliland President Muse Bihi Abdi, granting Ethiopia access to the Red Sea through Somaliland's Berbera port, was deemed a brazen affront to Somalia's territorial integrity. Dr. Aden Keynan, a Somali lawmaker, described the deal as a blatant violation of Somalia's sovereignty. He, along with other concerned voices, urged the international community to act swiftly if Ethiopia refuses to retract the agreement.

Tensions Escalate as Talks Resume Between Somaliland and Federal Government

By
In a region marked by historical complexities and territorial disputes, the recent resumption of talks between the federal government and the breakaway territory of Somaliland has sparked new tensions. The discussions, hosted by President Ismail Omar Guelleh of Djibouti, aimed to navigate the delicate relationship between these entities. However, these talks faced strong opposition from President Said Abdullahi Deni of Puntland, a semi-autonomous region within Somalia's northern part. Denouncing the absence of Puntland in the discussions, Deni condemned the reopening of talks, highlighting the ongoing border disputes between Puntland and Somaliland as a significant point of contention. Since February, clashes between the Somaliland army and SSC-Khatumo forces have escalated, with both sides accusing each other of instigating fatal combat in Las Anod town.

Political Tensions Rise as Somali Leader Criticizes President's Visit to Ethiopia

By
In a recent turn of events, Abdirahman Abdishakur Warsame, the leader of the Wadajir political party and a member of parliament in Somalia, has voiced strong disapproval of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's decision to travel to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The president's planned visit is aimed at attending three crucial conferences, including the 37th African Union (AU) Summit, the International Government for Agricultural Development (IGAD), and the East Africa Community Leaders Conference. Warsame, however, described the president's choice as a mistake and criticized the government's handling of its diplomatic ties with Ethiopia. He asserted that if contacts with Ethiopia were not deemed necessary, the government should have minimized its engagement with the neighboring country. Warsame emphasized the need for the president to provide an explanation for attending the meetings in Addis Ababa, particularly considering what he referred to as Ethiopia's actions underminin...
