Somalia up in arms over Ethiopia's sea-access deal with Somaliland | DW News


There’s uproar in Somalia because the breakaway state of Somaliland recently signed a deal granting Ethiopia access to the sea. In the Memorandum of Understanding, Somaliland would lease a 20-kilometer stretch of its coastline to neighboring Ethiopia, which is land-locked. The Ethiopians in return would be the first nation to recognize…

  1. Somaliland has been independent for more than 30 years. In 1991, the boy who was born today is a father He grew up in Somaliland, why are you forcing him to a country he doesn't know

  2. If this deal goes through, somaliland will be very prosperous. Ethiopia is a big economy, that is going to get much bigger in the next 10 years. Somaliland would benefit so much.

  3. I live in somaliland and i can honestly tell you that the whole separatist movement is spearhead by one selfish and childish clan (isaaq). Regions within somaliland have recently fought a bloody war with the so called somaliland government and reunited officially with Somalia. What doesn't that tell you about our so called independent country of somaliland. The Las Anod people have spoken too, and we don't want to be part of somaliland.

  4. Somaliland has been independent for over 30 years, why does somalia still believe its in any way part of it?
    Within somalia there are multiple presidents and one of them is a terrorist deal with that problem first

  5. I am from somaliland
    I happy to make diplomacy negotiations b/w somaliland and Ethiopia what ever accurs to improve existing somaliland people we will make what ever take us we are ready viva somaliland 🎉❤

  6. Arm dealers from US vial Israel will love war in Africa. Do not forget the merchant of death, Uri the Israel lobby helped him to get released to Russia. Uri played Ukranian before, and now they tell us he is Russian.

  7. Engaging in military actions towards Ethiopia would not necessarily benefit Somalia in terms of the bilateral agreement with Somaliland. Resorting to military action could escalate tensions, lead to further instability in the region, and potentially result in negative consequences for Somalia.

    Regarding the right to claim and disprove the bilateral agreement between Somaliland and Ethiopia, Somalia's position on the matter is based on its assertion that Somaliland is an integral part of its territory. However, the international community has not universally recognized Somalia's claim, and many countries maintain diplomatic relations with Somaliland.

    In terms of legal rights, Somalia can express its objections and disagreements with the bilateral agreement through diplomatic channels, international forums, or legal means if applicable. However, it is important to note that disputing the agreement would likely face challenges, as it involves two sovereign entities, and the recognition of Somaliland's autonomy by other countries could complicate Somalia's claims.

    Ultimately, the resolution of the complex issues surrounding Somaliland's status and bilateral agreements requires dialogue, negotiation, and a willingness to find mutually acceptable solutions among all parties involved.

  8. Somaliland itself is in a civil war go search up awdal and ssc then you’ll understand why it’s a liability if you let be independent because it will get in to civil war

  9. Somalia is backed by the US, Egypt, Turkey, EU, Eritrea, 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.
