Somalia Prime Minister Hamse Abdi Barre has accused Ethiopia of being determined to undermine the Somalia government’s efforts to continue talks with Somaliland. He has called on Somaliland leaders to return to the negotiating table.
He stated that the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in Addis Ababa on January 1 betrayed Somaliland and emphasized that the Somalia government has shown great patience with Ethiopia.
The Prime Minister claimed they have endeavored to be patient as much as possible citing that Somalia has not yet asked Ethiopian troops in Somalia to leave, not expelled the Ambassador or barred the Ethiopian airlines.
Following the Djibouti talks between Somaliland and Somalia, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed invited Somaliland President Muse Bihi to Addis Ababa to sign a memorandum of understanding with Somaliland on January 1, granting Ethiopia access to the sea as well as the recognition of Somaliland. A move Somalia denounced.
