Ethiopia and Somalia Reach Compromise on Somaliland Port Deal

Ethiopia and Somalia have reached a significant agreement to resolve tensions stemming from Ethiopia’s deal with the self-declared Republic of Somaliland.

The two countries agreed to hold technical talks to find a mutually beneficial solution that respects Somalia’s territorial integrity while acknowledging Ethiopia’s need for sea access.

The agreement, brokered by Turkey, aims to de-escalate tensions and pave the way for future cooperation between the two neighboring countries.

While Somaliland has made significant strides in establishing a stable political environment, it remains unrecognized by the international community. Somalia continues to assert its sovereignty over the region.

The successful mediation efforts by Turkey underscore the importance of diplomatic dialogue in resolving regional conflicts.
