Somalia Accuses Ethiopia of Betrayal in Somaliland Negotiations

By
In a surprising turn of events, Somalia's Prime Minister, Hamse Abdi Barre, has accused Ethiopia of undermining the ongoing negotiations between Somalia and the breakaway region of Somaliland. The accusations came to light during a speech delivered on Tuesday in Mogadishu, where Barre expressed disappointment over the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in Addis Ababa on January 1.

Barre highlighted the perceived betrayal of Somaliland in the signed agreement and emphasized the patience demonstrated by the Somali government despite the presence of Ethiopian troops in the country. He pointed out that, despite the tensions, the Somali government has refrained from requesting the withdrawal of Ethiopian forces and has not expelled the Ethiopian ambassador.

The Prime Minister acknowledged the long-standing efforts to maintain good neighborliness with Ethiopia but raised concerns about the impact of the controversial MoU on the negotiations with Somaliland. Barre hinted at the possibility of Ethiopia reconsidering its stance on the agreement, expressing hope that the Memorandum of Understanding might be withdrawn.

The political landscape in the Horn of Africa witnessed a breakthrough in late December when Somalia and Somaliland agreed to resume dialogue after years of impasse. Mediated by Djibouti's President Ismail Omar Guelleh, the discussions aimed to address unresolved concerns between the two entities.

Following the successful talks in Djibouti, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed extended an invitation to Somaliland President Muse Bihi to visit Addis Ababa on January 1, where the controversial MoU was signed. The agreement raised eyebrows as it included provisions allowing Ethiopia access to the sea through Somaliland.

Somalia now insists that any mediation involving Ethiopia must be contingent on the cancellation of the controversial pact with Somaliland. Barre has issued a call to Somaliland's leaders, urging them to return to the negotiating table to address the escalating tensions and salvage the diplomatic progress achieved in December.

As the region grapples with renewed uncertainties, the delicate balance of diplomacy and negotiation hangs in the balance. The international community watches closely, hoping for a resolution that promotes stability, cooperation, and a constructive path forward for all involved parties.

Advance but No Deal: Talks between Ethiopia and Somalia in Turkey

By Abubakar Hussein
Significantly for East African diplomacy, the second round of Turkish-mediated negotiations between Somalia and Ethiopia concluded in Ankara on August 13, 2024, without a definitive deal. Officials from both nations and Turkey claim that despite this, the conversations made clear development. The focus of the debates is on a controversial port agreement Ethiopia signed in January 2024 with the self-declared sovereign nation of Somalandon. Relations between Ethiopia and Somaliland have been seriously strained by the deal wherein Ethiopia leases 20 kilometers of Somaliland's coastline in exchange for acceptance of Somaliland's independence. Viewing Somaliland as a part of its sovereign territory, Mogadishu denounced the agreement as unconstitutional, ejecting the Ethiopian ambassador and threatening to pull Ethiopian forces supporting Somalia out of the front lines against Islamist militants. Unlike past diplomatic interactions, the Ankara negotiations were conducted indirectly v...
