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 undermining Somalia's unity and territorial integrity.
The Wadajir party leader expressed his dissatisfaction with the Somali parliament, stating that it failed in its duty by not questioning the president about the trip. Warsame accused the parliament of being preoccupied with constitutional revisions, highlighting what he perceives as a lapse in their oversight role.
Adding fuel to the fire, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud recently reaffirmed Somalia's refusal to participate in mediation discussions with Ethiopia until Addis Ababa retracts the controversial Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the breakaway territory of Somaliland on January 1. The MoU grants Ethiopia access to the port of Berbera on the Red Sea, raising significant concerns about regional stability and security.
Somalia has vehemently opposed the deal, declaring it invalid and ordering the return of its envoy to Ethiopia. The move has escalated tensions between the two nations, with Somalia demanding a retraction of the MoU before engaging in any form of mediation.
As the political landscape in the region becomes increasingly complex, the rift between Somalia and Ethiopia appears to deepen. The president's decision to attend conferences in Addis Ababa amidst these tensions raises questions about the diplomatic strategies employed by the Somali government and the potential consequences for regional relations. The situation calls for a careful evaluation of the delicate balance between diplomatic engagement and safeguarding national interests in the Horn of Africa.
