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.
