  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."

Somalia Joins the East African Community: A Catalyst for Regional Progress

On March 4th, 2024, the Federal Republic of Somalia officially joined the East African Community (EAC) as the bloc's eighth Partner State. This historic event marks a significant milestone in regional integration and economic cooperation within the East African region.

Somalia's accession to the EAC was finalized after the country's Minister of Commerce and Industry, Hon. Jibril Abdirashid Haji Abdi, presented the Instrument of Ratification of the Treaty of Accession to the EAC Secretary General, Hon. (Dr.) Peter Mathuki. With this instrument, Somalia formally signified its commitment to the terms and obligations of the Treaty.

EAC Secretary General Dr. Mathuki welcomed Somalia's membership, emphasizing the benefits it holds for both the Horn of Africa nation and the wider region. He highlighted Somalia's strategic location and abundant natural resources, which can contribute significantly to the EAC's overall development and economic prosperity.

"Somalia has the potential to unlock opportunities in the blue economy and boost intra-regional trade," said Dr. Mathuki.

Somalia's head of delegation, Hon. Haji Abdi, expressed the country's eagerness to contribute to the EAC integration process. He identified key areas of focus, including infrastructure development, trade, and the promotion of sustainable economic growth.

"Somalia is ready to play its role as a contributing member of the Community," stated Hon. Abdi.

Somalia's entry into the EAC follows a 12-month ratification process, during which the country had to domesticate the Treaty of Accession into its domestic legal framework. Now, as a full member, Somalia will participate in all EAC activities and programs, including projects related to infrastructure, trade liberalization, and political cooperation.

The EAC is committed to supporting Somalia's integration into the bloc. A roadmap will be developed detailing how Somalia will implement various EAC commitments, ranging from the Customs Union to the Political Federation.

The accession of Somalia to the EAC is a testament to the growing economic and political interconnectedness within the East African region. It opens up new avenues for collaboration, trade, and investment, promising to enhance the lives and livelihoods of East Africans across borders.

Somali Parliamentarians Decry Port Deal Between Ethiopia and Somaliland

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.

The agreement further ignited anxieties across the region, considering the historical animosity between Somalia and Ethiopia. One Kenyan MP war...

Tensions Escalate as Talks Resume Between Somaliland and Federal Government

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. This protracted conflict has contributed to heightened tensions in the region and complicated the efforts toward resolution. Som...

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

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.
