For far too long, Ethiopians, and other Africans have been tirelessly working to bring peace and stability to Somalia since 1990. However, despite the people of Somaliland building an advanced democratic system and a state-like structure that offers great prospects for peaceful coexistence and cooperation with neighbors, they are still isolated from the international community, resulting in unnecessary suffering and bloodshed. It is time to recognize Somaliland's independence and grant them the recognition they deserve to fulfill their aspirations for statehood. The people of Somaliland are wise, forward-thinking, and well-versed in international diplomacy, and they can no longer wait indefinitely for peace and stability to prevail in the rest of Somalia. It is high time for the international community to support their progress and allow them to experience social and economic growth. Ethiopia on the other hand needs access to the sea to assure economic progress for its huge and expanding population of over 120 million which is vital for the regional stability.

By the way you are talking, you are probably Ethiopian and you don't know much about what you are talking about. If you really think Ethiopia can just get and have a sea port just like that your are not very intelligent. Do you know the history between the two countries? Do you know that Ethiopia have a very big region who is somalis who really don't wanna be part of Ethiopia more than somaliland don't wanna be part of somalia. Do you know that somalis hates Ethiopia more than any country on earth even the people of Somaliland who majority of them are against this agreement not only will somalia fight against Ethiopia, somaliland, Djibouti even the somali region in Ethiopia will fight Ethiopia and I mean every single one. The somalis that hate Ethiopia most are somali Ethiopians. So even if this agreement goes through. Are Ethiopia ready never ending war from every corner? Cause that's what's going to happen and this somaliland you are talking about doesn't exist. Somaliland have been in civil war last 11 months. A big part of it is gone back to Somalia and there is still a war another part which is where the sea port is located don't wanna be part of so call somaliland. If you say somaliland is a democracy you dont Jack shit it is a dictatorship. I am from there believe me I know. It's only one clan that always have the power since 1991 and everyone else is nothing to them. I don't know what will happen with this agreement but I know one thing and that is the horn of africa just started a never ending war. Somalia got nothing to lose, they have been in war last 40 years and Ethiopia is in a civil war as we speak and it just got worse

O dear! Regardless of our wisdom and whether it is a fact that countries were trying to help Somalia, where is the advanced democratic system that we have built? Do you know how many years our election is delayed? How many were killed in Hargaysa when they were demonstrating against this delay? British Somali land is now 3 to 4 different states with 75% of them applying to be recognised by the Somali Federal Government as a member state. Do I need to name them? No for you, but for those you are misleading SSC-KHATUMO is already gone and is recognised by the government, Awdal state and Guban state (Gadabuursi and Issa tribes respectively) are already underway after Precedent Bihi's recent madness suggesting giving their land to Abey, and the forth within the Garhajis state if who are the majority sub tribe of Bihi's own tribe, but have been side lined for over a quarter of a century, if elections are not held ASAP. Also where is the well-versed diplomacy? I have been monitoring the media around the world and found most of those who think SL differently to largely have false information such as democracy, peaceful, being different than other Somalis, abandoning the unity which they created willingly and having borders. Or is it exchanging ethiopian airplane revenue that could be at a loss with a quarter of the area of Somalia you are claiming! The world would not even listen to you if they know that the reason you are signing that area for few handouts is that it belongs to Issa and Samaroon tribes not the main Isxaaq tribe! Sorry for being tough on you, but take it as a brotherly slap to safe you from your own fulish actions that will result you being killed and your women owned by...... My massage to you and precedent Bihi is look inwards and ask our billionaires to start a better and more advanced Airline (call it Bihi airline if you wish) and ask them to give you 20, 30, 40, and even 49% without giving away our resources and bringing suffering to our families.

It's worth considering the presence of military bases in Djibouti by countries like China, the USA, Japan, and others. Given that Ethiopia is a Horn of African country, would it be unreasonable for Ethiopia to have access to the sea and establish a military base in Somaliland? Ethiopia's intention is not to provoke conflict with its neighbors, but rather to seek peaceful access to the sea. Let's focus on the potential benefits of such access, rather than jumping to conclusions about war.

@TruthNeverHurt462, Regarding the issue of Somaliland, I must assert that it is indeed a settled matter. Your influence in this regard is limited and inconsequential. Allow me to remind you that it is our military that is steadfastly safeguarding what you refer to as the "failed government" in Mogadishu. Our military personnel are making great sacrifices, even laying down their lives, to shield your populace from the perils posed by the terrorist organization Al-Shabaab.

[@mohamedkedir6650]

@etsegenetnegash As far as my understanding goes, Ethiopia has not enforced any agreement upon any country, including Somaliland. To the best of my knowledge, the agreement between Ethiopia and Somaliland is based on mutual benefits for both nations. I would like to ask you whether you believe Ethiopia is imposing this agreement forcefully upon Somaliland and its people?

Secondly, the agreements reached by somaliland and Somalia during their talks held in Ankara, djibouti there was a clause states that both parties that is somaliland and Somalia should not critize any economical developments but somalia has breached agreements mentioned above not once, or twice. Thirdly, the former somalia president farmajo had leased 4 somaliland's ports to Ethiopia without somaliland's consent and to make the matter worse somalia's incubent president hasan reached an agreement with Addis in December 2023 and gave the same 4 ports to Ethiopia and also c9llaborated with Eritrea to train melitia to distabilize la anod which was a violation of somaliland's territorial integrity which the AU and the world recognize it since 1960.

One very important fact in favior of such Somaliland-Ethiopia deal is the fact that unity of Somalia is not the same like the unity , for example , of Ghana or Kenya . Ghana or Kenya is not made up of two entities that recieved two seperate indepedences and the voluntarily united . Somaliland and Somali are two former seprate colnies that , after seprate independence , went into a failed union . So this two falling apart is not like Ghana falling apart.

None of the speakers have reiterated the unique historical fact of Somaliland javing been a different country that was granted Independence on 26/6/1960 by Britain and which united with the Italiaan Somaliland on 1st July,1960. Somaliland is not seceding frok somalia Republic which ceased to exist in 1991 but withdrawing from a failed union that was not ratified by either of the parties. The analysis by Mulongo is myopic and distortionist. Recognition is apolitical decision vested with sovereign states. Recognition of Somaliland does not open a pandora box because its based on colonial borders as at 1960 and the self determination and unique circumstances should be taken into account.

Facts: not to confuse Somaliland is not a part of Somalia-italiana. Somaliland is not a clan based secessionist state far from it, Somaliland was established as a nation state on 26th June 1960, when it gained its independence from Great Britain. Its borders have the same international status and legitimacy as those of other African and Asian countries, which were drawn by European Colonial powers. In 1960 Somaliland went into “union” with Somalia-italiana. The “union” was legally suspect under the international law: The people of Somaliland overwhelmingly rejected the Union Constitution when it was put to a national referendum in 1961. The “Union” was never legally ratified by the people of Somaliland. In 2001, in a national referendum the people of Somaliland overwhelmingly approved the decision to re-establish their sovereignty 97% For the Somaliland republic. The people of Somaliland exercised their right to self-determination and brought to an end the union of the two states

Dr Abiy’s government is playing with fire. Somalia and Ethiopia were at war in 1970s over the Ogaden region where Somali Ethnic people live within Ethiopia. Also in 2006 the TPLF regime under instructions by the US invaded Somalia and killed thousands of people and displaced millions. The TPLF regime also killed thousands of Somalis in the Ogaden region of Ethiopia. These wounds are still raw and people are very angry with Ethiopia. if Ethiopia goes ahead with the plan Somalia will take military action against Ethiopia which is battling with internal conflict in the Oromo and Amhara regions. Egypt, Eritrea and Turkey are supporting Somalia. There could be serious consequences for Ethiopia here including the risk of disintegration and all out war just like what is happening in Sudan.

Great reporting. Love the questions by anchor. My two cents... 1. Somaliland gained its independence and recognition before Somalia. 2. Somaliland is the one united with Somalia for the purpose of uniting all 5 Somalis. 3. After the genocide JSL took back their unity from Somalia. 4. Somaliland rebuilt their nation from the ashes with no help from anyone including Somalia that wants to claim them. 4. For 33 years, they govern themselves and become a democratic nation while Somalia turned into a divided failed state where the president has zero control over some parts of Somalia and he can't even visit these parts. 5. Somaliland now enjoys peace, prosperity, and democracy. 6. The need for recognition is great, very deserved and their basic right as country. 7. Somaliland gaining recognition will also benefit Somalia and the stability of all of horn of Africa. 8. Most of the conflict in Somalia will cease to exist when Somaliland is recognized. 9. After the recognition of Somaliland both Somalia and Djibouti will gain an ally. 10. Finally all three countries can promote their common interest in peace and prosperity.
