MOGADISHU, Somalia – Somali PM Hassan Ali Kheire and his delegates have arrived in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, after receiving an official invitation.

The delegation led by PM Khaire was warmly welcomed by senior Ethiopian government at airport in the capital, according to officials at Somali Embassy in Addis.

Mr. Khaire has held talks with Ethiopian Prime Minister, Dr. Abiy Ahmed, discussing crucial bilateral issues of mutual benefit to both countries.

Somali PM Khaire says he had held a very constructive meeting with his Ethiopian counterpart in Addis.

“We both reaffirmed our commitment to further strengthen the brotherly relations between our two countries and people”, he said.

The Ethiopian PM Abiy Ahmed has pledged to continue supporting Somalia and its people as Ethiopian forces fighting Al Shabaab in Somalia as part of African Union mission in Somalia.

Humiliating, what do Somalis benefit by going to Addis?

lol. Khaire realized Abiy wasn't coming so he had to shamefully hang his head and go.

Do you know what they talked about to say no benefit?

Probably the Somaliland Puntland fighting may have been the issue they discussed. Both have stake in it and also benefits.

That is not true. The Ethiopians are in many parts of the south keeping Alshabab at bay.

Giving credit to Ethiopia is the equivalent of committing heighest crime for some Somalis. Its a gift of nature. Is a neighbor unless the Somali or Xabeshi pack their bags and leave this troublesome part of the world. It also happens t be most miitarily capable country in East Africa.  There is also 7 million Somalis in Ethiopia.

Uganda, Brundi are also guaranteed by Ethiopia for backup, evacuation.
