Why are Somalia and Ethiopia in a deepening diplomatic dispute? | Inside Story


A deal between Ethiopia and the breakaway region of Somaliland involving a new naval base, has further worsened diplomatic relations with Somalia.
Its government is furious at the agreement that would give landlocked Ethiopia access to the Red Sea. So far it is only a diplomatic dispute.
But why is this rift worsening and could there be wider…

  1. Aljazeera is a joke biased propaganda… and Ethiopia has to respect international boundary and sovereignty of countries.. otherwise it’s going be playing empty bravado, not to mention it’s a state where it has internal conflict within,you have 120+population. No one refused them to access for commercial trade but they want to own and establish Naval base in which they don’t belong to…

  2. Ethiopia defaulted on their debt. Literally don't control anything outside Addis, had a civil war. Another ongoing conflict, doesn't control Tigray and oromia, needs Eritreas help to guard the borders… And he's saying Somalia is worse off? Nonsense 🤣

  3. I don't really understand you all guests pointing fingers at each other and claiming to be better than each other. East Africa is a collection of failed states! that is the sour truth. Political leaders of the horn are all tribal animals; they are not civil enough to sit and talk. They prefer to listen to their slave masters than sit and discuss their own challenges among themselves. That is it.

  4. ETHIOPIA & Somaliand ❤️💖❤️💖 That's the deal and way to go ….Africa Progress!!!! Nobody should have to deal with SOMALIA Al shabab infested folks, if they couldn't clear up that shyt in 30 years let them live that life NOT Somaliland and Ethiopia baby

  5. Abiy Ahmed, who cannot preserve the peace in his own country, is trying to destabilize the Somaila. This is part of his long plan to owe Somaliland for his future pal to create independent Oromia.

  6. It's the time that United Nations member state and global organisation recognises Somaliland’s independence officially.

    Each case is unique and deserves consideration based on historical and legal arguments, as well as current conditions.

    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 and then recognized by 35 countries including USA and China.

    Proofs on the net:

    -The three UK Gazettes public official record Somaliland independant 26 june 1960.

    -Uk-Somaliland agreement atteinment of independence traity N°44(1960)

    -Uk-Somaliland constitutionnal conference traity 4-12 may 1960.

    -UN Treaty and international agreement registred 1960 Somaliland independant volume :N°374.

    In 2001,in a national referendum the people of Somaliland overwhelmingly approved the decision to re-establish their sovereignty 97%For the republic of Somaliland.

    -2024 This new MOU includes a provision for an in-depth assessment of Somaliland as a sovereign state.

    -This would make Ethiopia the first UN member state to recognise it.

    It would give Somaliland what it wants most.

    -Recognition would help open doors for international public financing and raise Somaliland’s status in the world.

    Bye bye Banana republic of Somalia-italiana.

  7. Somalis are generally divided into two groups, (daarood and dir).
    darood and (-dir- hawiye) has control over Somalia 🇸🇴 they are in general agreement.

    Dir is divided in to djibouti 🇩🇯 and somaliland and they got connection with Somalia 🇸🇴 (-dir hawiye-).

    Ethiopia got connection with (dir)djibouti.
    And they are not aware of somaliya hawiye dir.

    (dir) somaliland seeks recognition and no body knows if somalia agree with that.

  8. Somaliland has been defacto independent for a long time now. The clan politics that tore apart Somalia with civil war have been avoided by Somaliland. Its time accept the initial union of these regions has been a dysfuctional failure and its time to move on. Independence for Somaliland.
