The rift between the two countries was exacerbated by a recent meeting between Ethiopia's State Minister for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Mesganu Arga, and a delegation from Puntland in Addis Ababa. The discussions centered on bilateral issues, including trade, investment, energy cooperation, and joint infrastructure projects, sparking outrage from the Somali government.
The catalyst for Somalia's decisive action was Ethiopia's involvement in a controversial lease agreement for coastal land in the disputed Somaliland territory. Despite Somalia's claims of sovereignty over the region, Ethiopia signed a memorandum of understanding on January 1 to lease a 20-kilometer stretch of Somaliland's coastline. The deal, which includes plans for a naval base and hints at recognizing Somaliland's autonomy, has drawn condemnation from Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, who labeled it illegal and warned of defensive measures.
In response to Ethiopia's perceived overreach, Somalia has taken swift measures, closing the Ethiopian consulates in Garowe and Hargeisa within a week and ordering Ethiopian diplomats to depart the country. Non-compliance with the resolution will be considered a violation of Somalia's sovereignty, with further diplomatic repercussions likely.
The expulsion of the Ethiopian ambassador and consulate closures signal a deepening rift between Somalia and Ethiopia, with potential implications for regional stability. The move could strain relations between the two countries, affecting collaborative efforts and the presence of Ethiopian troops in Somalia under the African Union's peacekeeping mission.
As tensions continue to escalate, the international community will closely monitor developments in the Horn of Africa, wary of the potential for increased instability in the region. The Somali government's bold actions reflect its determination to assert its sovereignty and protect its interests, even at the risk of sparking diplomatic fallout with its neighbors.
