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

By
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.

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...
