Ethiopia May Scrap Somaliland Recognition Amid Regional Pressure Simon Marks and David Herbling, Bloomberg News , Source: Bloomberg (Bloomberg) -- Ethiopia is considering scrapping a plan to recognize the breakaway state of Somaliland, amid international pressure to defuse regional tensions over the proposal, according to people familiar with the matter. Landlocked Ethiopia signed an initial agreement with Somaliland in January that would make it the first nation to recognize the sovereignty of the semi-autonomous region of Somalia, in return for 50 years of access to the Gulf of Aden. The accord triggered an uproar in neighboring countries, with Somalia saying it would defend its territorial integrity and Egypt and other nations urging caution. Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and his Kenyan counterpart, William Ruto, held talks last week in Nairobi where the matter was discussed. Abiy expressed his willingness to step back from the deal’s most controversial elements in an effort to restore relations with Somalia, said the people who asked not to be identified as they’re not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. Ethiopian officials privately told foreign officials that the country may be willing to drop its recognition of Somaliland, according to five foreign officials who were briefed on Addis Ababa’s stance. Ruto also raised the matter in a meeting with Somalian President Hassan Sheikh, who was visiting Kenya at the same time as Abiy. Ruto told Bloomberg in an interview in January that his administration was trying to “persuade Ethiopia” to consider other options beyond its demand for a port, though it’s unclear what those options are. Ethiopia has yet to officially pull back from the deal with Somaliland, and Abiy remains keen on achieving his objective of attaining direct access to the coast, the people said. Somaliland unilaterally declared independence from Somalia in 1991 after the eruption of a civil war. Since then, it’s been pushing for international recognition that would allow it to source foreign funding and aid. The deal with Ethiopia — long desperate for greater sea access — would take it a small step closer to achieving that aim. Read More: Ethiopia Says Lack of Port Access Can Fuel Future Conflict Neighboring countries and some of Ethiopia’s biggest donors have expressed concern that the deal — which Somalia has said is illegal and would represent an annexation of its territory — may spark conflict in an already volatile region. Molly Phee, the US assistant secretary of state for African affairs, told reporters on a call last month that Ethiopia should seek a deal providing it with sea access with the federal authorities in Mogadishu and not officials in Somaliland. The US and United Nations have also said the agreement may allow the Islamist militant group al-Shabaab to exploit the situation for its recruitment. “The region can ill afford more conflict,” Phee said. Ethiopian, Kenyan and Somali government spokespeople didn’t respond to questions about the current status of the Somaliland agreement. The Somaliland government said in a statement on Tuesday that the memorandum of understanding it signed with Ethiopia in January “signifies a positive step towards regional stability and prosperity.” --With assistance from Mohammed Omar Ahmed. ©2024 Bloomberg L.P.

Somaliland Supreme Court annuls electoral law provisions following presidential lawsuit Thursday March 7, 2024 Hargeisa (HOL) - The Supreme Court of Somaliland has overturned certain sections of the electoral law following a petition by the nation's President, Muse Bihi Abdi. The legal action modified specific clauses within the electoral legislation. advertisements The judicial body concurred with the president's plea to void two segments of the electoral law, which he argued were not aligned with the Somaliland constitution. The invalidated clause stipulated that any organization achieving 20% of the votes in all regions and an equal share of the general ballot would trigger a parliamentary division. The court, aligning with the president, maintained that the elected parliamentary councils lacked the authority to assess the legitimacy of the representatives chosen by the populace. Additionally, the court ratified the electoral law. According to recent statements by the president, the legislation is finalized, and election preparations are currently in progress.Presidential elections are scheduled to be held in Somaliland on November 13 2024

SSC-Khatumo leader warns Ethiopia against sending troops to SSC areas Thursday March 7, 2024 Las Anod (HOL) - The leader of the newly formed SSC-Khatumo administration, Abdikhadir Ahmed Aw-Ali Firdhiye, has issued a warning to the Ethiopian government against interfering in the internal affairs of Sool, Sanag, and Ain areas, collectively known as SSC-Khatumo. Addressing thousands of people in Las Anod town on Thursday, the leader stated that his administration had received reports indicating that Ethiopian troops were being deployed to the SSC areas to support Somaliland troops. "We cannot accept this; we categorically reject it. We are accountable for our people and our territory. We refuse any external forces to interfere or attack us, and we will resist it," declared Firdhiye, the leader of SSC-Khatumo. Mr. Firdhiye instructed his troops to remain on high alert and prepared for any potential incursion from Somaliland. On Monday, Somaliland's Minister of Defense, Dr. Roble Muse Abdi, hosted the Ethiopian embassy's military attaché and other senior Ethiopian army officers at his office in Hargeisa. The officials discussed various aspects of security cooperation and ways to strengthen the bilateral relationship. Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed signed a memorandum of understanding with Somaliland President Muse Bihi in Addis Ababa on January 1, granting Ethiopia access to the sea. However, Somalia, along with the AU, IGAD, EU, Arab League, Turkey, and the US government, has rejected the Red Sea access agreement between Ethiopia and the breakaway region of Somaliland, arguing that it violates Somalia's sovereignty. Somalia has insisted that there can be no mediation in the dispute with Ethiopia unless Addis Ababa cancels its controversial deal with the breakaway region of Somaliland.

time will tell indeed if Somalia can defeat Alshabaab its been over a decade now lets how long this continues

Somaliland and Ethiopia and the UAE to also sign a three part new agreement interesting indeed

so what could be the motive

Somaha wa cajiib

if hassan sheikh could not reach a deal with Somaliland after 12 years talks as a two term president what makes u think he can give any sort of concessions or make a deal with Alshabaab

#buluxaar, #ceel sheekh iyo #berbera waxaana u hadhsan #ceel gardi, #xiis iyo #maydh These are the potential places where the lease could happen hassan galaydh reports

Somalia is now no longer a threat to Somaliland there is nothing Somalia can do to deter Somaliland from its rightfull path. Somaliland isnt catalonia or Tigray or tamil Tigers or anything like that Somaliland was a country of its own which joined another country to create Super country called the Somali republic. Catalonia was always part of spain tigray is the heart land of Ethiopia always was ,, The tamil issue is a very shaky and difficult isssue because it stems from an era of different ethnic back ground fighting to surive. Somaliland case is very similar to Eritrean case and to lesser extend the South sudanese case . There wont be any deals between Somalia and Somaliland that ship has sailed koonfurians dont honer the agreements they signed its not gonne happen ina bixii stopped the useless talks with the koonfurians As for ssc and when i say ssc i mean the garaad clan not the actuall 3 regions and the buhoodle districtwe havent lost anything worth worrying about for our national security it was shown that in history nobody can defeat us in our own turf. Afweyne tried to use galla somali aboow his kin the big foot community the Awdal community the garaad clan . non of that worked Do u know why i wont tell u why . Because they are not threat to us xita haday isi soo wada raacaan they are not a threat. another issue it is very unlikely for the bunker president if he is a hagite how much they hate Somaliland quest for statehood to fight Somaliland , the garad clan was fighting to free it self from Somaliland well fine they are not going to fight us on our turf that would be sucidal inta yar ay leeyihin ba laga qaadaya and if the war turns tribal ooh then all bets are off haday qolo qolo noqoto qawaanaata la isku helayo , laan laan way ka baxday. and ur last point there is nothing the duriyada have a social contract stronger then anything the bond between brothers most likely ciiro will succeed ina bixi in the next elections and the qori isku dhiib shall continue

deputy pm spoke very well he is very articulate he is a bright future

Horurfadhi for the first time talked the very truth he said xamse said itoobiya haloo tanasulo and then he said Manay ahayn in Somaliland loo tanasulo ileen iyaga ba soomaali eh , iyaga ba hala aqoonsado dabeetana iyaga hala yidha wax nala raadiya intad itoobiyaan u tanasulayo,, but hamse cant see that because caqliga yar eeh beesha cagweyne aya ku jira well done horurfadhi
