‘Don’t do it’: Somali president warns Ethiopia over Somaliland port deal

[@Mtanzakenya]

I'm a Kenyan and there is no way Ethiopia can say they want to build a port in a foreign land and claim to have agreement without the government of Somalia knowledge. thus absurd.

@NoRockinMansLand If Ethiopia wanted a port the Somali government has sold the a 19% stake. What Ethiopia wants is not a port it wants to annex part of Somalia. Mind you Ethiopia had its own port in Eritrea but decided to give it out for free. Now they realize their mistake and want to destabilize Somalia and threaten to take part of Somalia by force. Ethiopia is headed on a downhill trajectory and on the brink of civil war as a result of all the internal wars abiy ahmed has created.

That's easy to understand. Ethiopia desperately needs sea access if they are to escape from an agricultural economy and develop into a manufacturing economy. Right now, Djibouti extorts them for 10% of their whole GDP just for port access. This is stunting their growth. They would like port access that is more reasonably priced. Somaliland is desperate for recognition, so the price they would charge for port access would be much lower. If Ethiopia deals directly with Somalia, they will be dealing with a fragile and dysfunctional state that has the ability to charge more for a worse service. They could charge even more than Djibouti, but now Ethiopia has to pay far more in insurance because of all the instability from clan wars and pirates. Ethiopia gains nothing from dealing directly with Somalia, but they gain everything from dealing with Somaliland, which is stable, peaceful, and comes at a manageable price.

Respectfully, Your Excellency Mr. President, I have a question for you. During a recent address, you stated that an attack on one Arab state is considered an attack on all member states. I find this statement intriguing in light of the tragic events that unfolded in Somalia at the hands of Al Shabab, resulting in the loss of countless innocent lives. I am curious to know where the Arab League was during this period of crisis. Furthermore, you mentioned the deep cultural and historical ties between Egypt and Somalia. I must confess, I am not aware of any significant historical alliance between these two nations. If you could kindly enlighten us, it would be most appreciated. Lastly, I would like clarification on your interpretation of the term "annexation" in relation to commercial deals. Upon reviewing the terms and conditions outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding signed between Ethiopia and Somaliland, it appears to be a mutually beneficial agreement rather than an act of annexation. Could you shed some light on this matter?

[@abdullahijama213]

Can Egypt make a deal with Beni-shengul Gumuz region regarding Nile and GERD? Use your common sense.

[@mulugetabariso4504]

@@abdullahijama213 In this hypothetical scenario, Somaliland has functioned as an independent state with full autonomy for the past 30 years, while Beshangul Gumuz or Oromia remains a part of Ethiopia. Considering this context, I am uncertain why you are questioning me about such matters. However, it is important to acknowledge and respect both the principle of territorial integrity and sovereignty of a state, as stated in the UN charter and AU legal instruments. Simultaneously, it is also crucial to recognize the right to self-determination of any oppressed people, regardless of the reasons behind it. Regarding the relationship between Ethiopia and Somalia, I strongly advocate for mutual benefit and cooperation between these two neighboring nations, rather than an excessive reaction to recent incidents. Furthermore, I would like to pose a simple question: Why is there no objection to the presence of military bases from countries like the USA, Turkey, France, and UAE? Is it not perceived as annexation? It is essential to refrain from overreacting when faced with the situation in Ethiopia.

@kingkong67875 The hard truth of the matter is that Bihi’s incompetence is increasingly becoming more apparent as more of his cover-ups come into the public domain. The surrendering of the airspace management in 2019 and then hiding it from the public was a great example. Darod is part of Somaliland’s building blocks of its currently unrecognized state and you need to keep all its community blocks together to achieve greater goals. Bihi is the first leader to fail this responsibility! Blaming Garxajis, Darod or any other sub-clan of Somaliland will not solve the consequences of his poor leadership, it will embolden him and result in collective suffering of the community. Yes, Hassan Mohamud doesn’t control the vast majority of Somalia, but he is gaining ground, while ironically Bihi is losing it. Farmajo was controlling much less than Hassan and yet managed to squeeze Bihi, which means the golden opportunity of Somaliland’s contrast stability is narrowly closing and this MoU of giving a naval base for a mere recognition of none other than Ethiopia is the last knell of the coffin, because it forced nations who were leaning to recognize Somaliland to take drastic steps of distancing themselves and standing with Mogadishu

After three decades of waiting for Somaliland’s recognition and while Somalia was building its government, now, as Somalia progresses, Somaliland attempts to make deals. Twelve years ago, Somalia might not have taken such initiatives. Presently, with successful rebuilding, reduced influence of Al-Shabaab, and a functional government, Somalia is on a positive trajectory. Despite challenges, there’s optimism for improved governance. Somaliland seems to have missed opportunities, and concerns arise about potential instability as Muse Bihi contemplates leaving. Somalia aims to prevent chaos but acknowledges the need for choices if circumstances demand. It’s kind of funny that many people in Somaliland don’t really want to be part of it. Some areas there even fought to stay out and prefer being part of Somalia. Getting recognized as a separate entity, especially by the U.S., is tough. The recent response from the U.S. doesn’t look promising for the proposed deal. Also, Ethiopia is in a civil war, not just Addis Ababa is Ethiopia. Showing broader conflicts within the country. ETHIER WAY SOMALIA 🇸🇴 IS GOING TO WIN THIS DEAL. I always used to say Somaliland should be recognized but if they’re gonna invite enemies to our doorsteps, it’s better that we should be able to stop this enemies without going to war because if Somalia recognizes Somaliland and Somaliland invites enemies, there is nothing much we can do.

It is absolutely crucial for our Prime Minister to pursue the appropriate channels to secure access to the sea for Ethiopia, if that is indeed our objective. We must face the reality that Somaliland is not prepared for a conflict. Recent events have irrefutably demonstrated this, with the region losing a staggering 40% of its territory to Las Anod residents in just the past year. Furthermore, the Awdal region has already initiated efforts to expel the "Somaliland" forces in their entirety, underscoring the need for the Memorandum of Understanding intended to alleviate MUSE BIHI recent and persistent failures. My fellow Ethiopians seem to overlook Somaliland’s misfortunes on multiple domestic fronts, including an internal feud with the GARHAJIS sub-clan, which may have played a role in the Bihi’s humiliating defeat at Las Anod. Somaliland’s current administration seems to be focused on securing a second term for Musa Bihi. Both Bihi and our PM might be using the MOU to divert attention from their respective political and economic failures.

Somalia is failed state. Somaliland is not part of somali for the past 33 years. According to the inquiries sent by the African Union in 2005 to the African Union after Somaliland separated from Somalia and became an independent country, the answers they received from Somaliland tribal leaders, Islamic religious leaders, young and old, told them that they did not want to live together with Somalia, and also that Somaliland was colonized by England and Somalia was colonized by Italy. Therefore, Somalia does not have the right to claim that Somaliland is part of its territory. The African Union's year 2005 commission of inquiry report to the African Union to recognize Somaliland is available at the African Union office. The decision could not be implemented because of the conspiracy politics of Egypt and the late former Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Meles Zenawi. Soon Somaliland will be recognized.

Republic of Somaliland has regained it's independence 1991, it's a sovereign nation. The union 1960 which originally was instigated by British Somaliland(currently Rep of Somaliland) to unite with Italian Somaliland territory(currently Somalia) failed miserably. Somalia needs to let go cuz there's nothing they can do it's inevitable, just madness🤯🤯.

@@popular7493 Somalia is a failed state, your president running around like headless chicken tells you what's going on behind the scenes of diplomatic geopolitics which most of you are incapable to see due to trauma caused by Somaliland dropped a "Startegic Diplomatic Nuke" maneuver on your heads, hence your president is making a fool of himself & your nation, is so sad to see😂😂😂. You need to learn to let go & start practicing good neighbourly.

In my opnion the military naval base as well as the 'recognition' of Somaliland is what is making Somalia uncomfortable. But, the strange thing here is the Ethiopian military is currently ALREADY in Somalia protecting your guest from Al-shabab. So, why does a naval base all of a sudden appear outlandish and unacceptable?! Secondly your guest should scold & reprimand Somaliland for setting the condition of 'recognition' not 🇪🇹 Ethiopia. 😏

[@ramlohassan2395]

We dont need Ethiopia to protect us let them go home

[@birhanjommy]

Several thousand Ethiopian troops are currently assisting the Somali government with its official duties. They provide protection for government offices and other potential targets of the Al Shabab group within the country. I am unable to comprehend how a naval base in Somaliland could pose a threat to Somalia.

[@shcyb1584]

Ethiopia came in by the wishes of the Somali Government through Africon program and they are based in one part of the country and they will go out by the wishes of the Somali Government.

@@shcyb1584 Ethiopians can live Somalia but Al Shabab definitely fills the gap and overrun the government and the entire South in hours.

After gaining independence on June 26, 1960, Somaliland joined the present-day Somalia in a failed union. Somaliland completed a legal liberation in 1991, returning its sovereign nation to its own people. They now have to proceed on to the following phase, which is to become a recognised nation and country.
