Ethiopia signs agreement to use Somaliland’s Red Sea port


Ethiopia has signed a deal with Somalia’s breakaway region of Somaliland to secure access to the Red Sea.
The deal is expected to mean Ethiopia will be allowed to use a coastal military base.
Somaliland’s president says that, in return, Ethiopia will officially recognise Somaliland.

  1. Ethiopia already has the Somali region of Jigjiga. But why is Ethiopia still fighting to have another land or sea that belongs to Somali? How about if they can ask Eritrean government to give them Asab port.

  2. Ethopia if it wants business we are ready but they will not get millitary port or land they want to call it is theirs. Somaliland and Abiy Ahmed are creating huge and dangereous isue to ethopia and Somalia. So my advice is ethopian we had good business relationship so dont distroy it because Abey is distroying your country and is following order from France and west is using him in order to creat conflict, while France is making mioney by saling weapons to you.
    Somalia will never going to give their water or land and ethopian government knows well. So dont start war that you are not going to win. Also Moose Biixi is not going to last in Hargeysa bc he is killing it is awn people and all north side of somalia are having huge conflict which some of the city are all ready joint to rest of somalia and some are in the process to joint to Somalia. therefore there is no somaliland left and Abey knows and most of the ethopian people know that too. The only option Ethopian and Somalia is that they need to work together for the safety for every one and the progress of both country.

  3. Making deal with a country that doesn’t exist is basically s huge insult to the real country that owns the territories. Any foreign soldier who enters Somalia is basically declaring war.

  4. Somalidii baroortii ayaa ka dhamaatay waar Somaliland
    Iyadaa idiintimi hadana way tagtay Cay iyo Ceeb midna idinma dhihine wll waxay ilatahay dalkasta dadkiisa Nolol haw raadiyo waydhamaatay Sheeko Xariir iyo qaxootinimo Dadkula mida baryadoodu waa liidnimo

  5. Somaliland is successful flourishing nation in terms of peace and democracy while Somalia is failed state that nourishes terrorist groups in east Africa.
    Somaliland and Ethiopia are neighboring countries “like blood brothers” that share values, I support the Evolution of reaching out to Sustainable Developments in the horn

  6. Somalia is backed by the US, Egypt, Turkey, EU, Eritrea, Sudan & South Sudan.

    Who does Ethiopia have? UAE!

    Ethiopia is a regional pariah.

    But I want to thank the fool in Addis Ababa. Thank you for uniting us.

  8. Look at Somali land vs Somali in 30 years we have better development and growth. All you see in Somali is chaos. This deal with Ethiopia is a lease nobody is stealing land the Western countries do this all the time. Somali can't tell us what to do this is a great deal actually Ethiopia giving a lot in this deal that will help Somali land growth.

  9. Somaliland is one of the territories of the federal government of Somalia
    we clearly reject the news from the neighboring government of Ethiopia and Somaliland state
    If Ethiopia continues with that action, we are ready to fight back
    Ethiopia remember 77 what happened to you
    Somalia is now a government with a population of 50 million.

    Viva Somalia Win🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴

  10. Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti, and Eritrea share a common Habesha heritage, and it would be beneficial for them to unite, much like their counterparts in Europe, rather than engaging in divisive primitive behavior. President Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia is not a negative figure, but Somalia has struggled to find stability since the time of the late President Hussein Berry, leading to tribal chaos. While I am not African, I have a deep appreciation for the people of the Horn of Africa.

  11. Sending a message to President Hassan Sheikh to call for unity, urging all Somalis to join the military for the country's defense, and seeking military aid from supportive nations is a proactive step in addressing the current situation.

  12. Mudaharaadku waxa uu Ka bilaabmay Magalada Lughaya, dhalinyarada aya qaatay qoryaha si u difacan Baddoda.

    Ha Lughaya wa BAYLAH !!

    hadi reer Awdal ay mudo badan Ka ahayd baylah waxay manta Ka tahay umada somaliyeed oo dhan.

  13. Somalia read in between the mention of Abiy the term "we do not wish to use force against Somali to reach our aims" Abiys mentioned the wors "force" in the agreement somalia from Ogadania to Kismayo be warned about the true intends of Ethiopian they already occupied Ogadania and asking Ogadenia people suffer constant harassment at the hands of the security forces there. Kenya controls Somali region of Kenya hence colonism continues in the 21st Century. Rabbi Allah whom our jewish ancestors call Elohim or YHWH help us all in East Africa

  16. You cannot trust a lair or cheater who will break their promise to you as they cheated Eritrea. no one can trust ethiopian politicians neither countries in region nor its own people.

  17. This is illegal and needs to be stopped. SOMALILANDERS do not support this crime, exploitation. We have our own issues and cannot deal with Ethiopia and their problem. The international world needs to stop this. These men are both blood thirsty, war criminals.

  18. The dumbest people ive ever seen . How can you even give $20 millions for a governor of one state and tell you he gave u a port. That shows how Desperado are Ethopians. Listen ETHOPIA ONLY GOD, AND SOMALIA CAN GIVE U PORT SOMALIS DENIED FROM NOW ON YOU CANT EVEN USED DJIBOUTI AND BERBERA. UNTIL YOUR PRESIDENT APOLOGIZE OFFICIALY. BYEE
