Turkey says Ethiopia, Somalia reach compromise deal to end feud 170 SharesFacebookFacebook messengerTwitterWhatsAppLinkedInTelegramPhoneEmail Wednesday December 11, 2024 Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud flew in at the request of his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan © Turkish Presidental Press Service / TURKISH PRESIDENTIAL PRESS SERVICE/AFP Somalia and Ethiopia have reached a deal to end a nearly year-old bitter dispute following hours of Turkish-brokered talks in Ankara, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday. Hailing it as a "historic agreement", Erdogan said he hoped the deal would be "the first step towards a new beginning based on peace and cooperation between Somalia and Ethiopia". Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud flew into Ankara earlier on Wednesday for the latest round of talks following two earlier rounds that made little progress. The two neighbours have been at loggerheads since landlocked Ethiopia struck a deal in January with Somalia's breakaway region Somaliland to lease a stretch of coastline for a port and military base in exchange for recognition, although this was never confirmed by Addis Ababa. The move sparked a fierce diplomatic and military row between Ethiopia and Somalia, which branded the deal a violation of its sovereignty, setting international alarm bells ringing over the risk of renewed conflict in the volatile Horn of Africa region. Speaking at a joint press conference, Erdogan said he believed Wednesday's agreement, which came after talks that reportedly lasted eight hours, would eventually bring about a way to ensure landlocked Ethiopia's access to the sea. "I believe with the meeting we had today, especially with Ethiopia's demands to access the sea, my brother Sheikh Mohamud will give the necessary support for accessing the sea," he said. 'Constructive talks' According to the text of the agreement released by Turkey, the parties agreed "to leave behind differences of opinion and contentious issues, and resolutely move forward in cooperation towards common prosperity". They agreed to work closely together on commercial arrangements and bilateral agreements that would ensure Ethiopia's "reliable, safe and sustainable access" to the sea "under the sovereign authority of the Federal Republic of Somalia". To that end, they would start technical talks no later than the end of February which would be completed "within four months", with any differences to be dealt with "though dialogue, where necessary with Turkey's support". Speaking alongside Erdogan, his remarks translated into Turkish, Ethiopia's Abiy said: "We have addressed the misunderstandings that have occurred over the past year. "Ethiopia's desire for secure access to the sea is a peaceful venture and will benefit our neighbours, it is a venture that must be seen in the spirit of cooperation, not suspicion." He said the "constructive talks" would allow the two nations "to enter the New Year in a spirit of cooperation, friendship and the willingness to work together instead of against each other". The Somali leader, whose remarks were also translated, said the agreement had "put a halt to their differences" and that his nation was "ready to work with the Ethiopian leadership and the Ethiopian people". The row had sent shivers through the Horn of Africa, drawing in Ethiopia's long-standing rival Egypt, and Eritrea. Somalia expelled Ethiopia's ambassador in April and said Ethiopian troops would be excluded from a new African Union peacekeeping force against Islamist Al-Shabaab insurgents that is due to be deployed on January 1. Turkey has been mediating between the two sides since July, leading discussions aimed at resolving their differences, but the two previous rounds of talks in Ankara had failed to produce any tangible progress.

Didnt he say he isn’t going to meet abiye unless abiye goes back from the mou hassan has no back bone

This is very bad news bashar Asad was the best way to keep Syria intact. Now that these terrorists irhabis have taken over it is bad . They are Israeli proxies hundred percent . We will fight another the war isn’t over. The arab world must be ruled by a strong Baathist party and most likely we shall lean towards the Shi’a political establishment. They are the only one that oppose the western hegemony at this particular time .

That is nonsense really President biixi is an honereble leader and president he held free and fair elections and accepted his defeated and is willing to transfer power to the president elect . So what would his motive be to cause trouble in ceerigaabo. Militia in ceerigaabo armed hunted down some of the Garaad clan shops and killed 4 people and wounded two people that is it . And now the elders are discussing mag and how to solve the dispute . This how ever isn’t government orchestrated for this makes no sense at all for an out going president to do his legacy is to keep sl safe secure and into progress and democratic. Why would he ruin his own legacy makes absolutely no sense so the bugland article is bogus

Ceerigaabo reer ba iska leh all the other residents should know their place cid is dhaqaajin karta majirto xaji ismaciil xaji nuur is the de facto president of ceerigabo since 1989 when the snm liberated ceerigabo

we are back at 1991 as Adan gabyow once said dagaalku wa D iyo H

So what is Villa amisom problem with jubbaland ma nin kalay meesha la rabeen I see arrest warrant. Interpol

Not true u dont know the details of the MOU all u know is that a territory is being leased for a period of time and that SL wil get shares from Ethiopian airlines and recognition the latter is very important for Somaliland to achieve . we only know the true benefits of the MOU is when its presented to the parliament.

maybe , but what they dont know is Kulmiye and wadani is the same culusow and jabuuti wont get anything from Ciiro.

bakayle is a security risk he is an open advocate for the huwan in laascanood i dont think that can be done the abwaan girl , not sure what she did but she was an open member of the NN party so any person involved in politics in mogadishu cant be allowed back in the country not sure what tera guy did so i dont see a reason why he cant return since he is not a politician

i doubt he will restart talks with the Bunker because 12 years they held talks with out any sort of result and hassan culusow is isolated jubbaland and puntland and others so why give him a life line

So what is the USA response for this we know they all supported when. The icj wanted to hunt down Russian dictator Vladimir putin . But what do we know now

actuallly they have upgraded their consular to an Embassy or at least they have an a full ambasssador now in Somaliland before that this wasnt the case this was back in may , i think the Military staff were part of the safaraad

President ciiro will review the mou and hold discussions with Ethiopia prime minister . But I think biixi and ciiro are having talks about allot of isssuss I think biixi has told ciiro to keep the mou intact for he said it serves Somaliland interests . We shall see what the new president will do he will clearly follow his own policy but ciiro is pragmatic and will do everything in his power to keep Somaliland interest priority number one . Even though he said during the rallies he would resume talks with the bunker but this unlikely it easy to say that when u are opposition to be honest and every one knows the bunker is not interested in ambicle divorce or solution . Even if they bunker insists on a union they don’t know and have no single solution or offer for Somaliland that is even worth considering. I think he will stick with the Ethiopia deal how ugly it may be for the time being . But he should be vigilant because the Ethiopians are also onky after their own interests

mana ogaa ba inu boqorku dhashay shalay loool i dont think any one knew
