[Dabrow]

The leaders of Ethiopia, Somalia and Eritrea, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, President Mohammed Abdullahi Mahmud Farmajo and President Isaias Afwerki held a series of consultations in Bahr Dar, Ethiopia on November 9-10, 2018.

The three sides stressed that this, their second meeting in as many months highlights the historic transformation towards peace and integration in the horn of Africa.

In their consultations, the three leaders reviewed developments and achievements since the signing in Asmara of the Joint Declaration on Friendship and Comprehensive Cooperation between the three countries.

They noted with satisfaction the tangible and positive outcomes already registered, and agreed to consolidate their mutual solidarity and support in addressing challenges that they face individually and collectively. In this regard, they stressed the importance of respecting the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of Somalia as well as their firm support for the Somali people and the Federal Government of Somalia and all its institutions. They also commended them for the progress they are making towards peace and stability.

The leaders of Ethiopia, Somalia and Eritrea welcomed the impending lifting of all sanctions against Eritrea and underscored their conviction that this act of justice would contribute to enhancing peace, development and cooperation in the region. They also reaffirmed their commitment to an inclusive regional peace and cooperation.

The presidents of Eritrea and Somalia expressed their profound appreciation to Prime Minister Abiy and the people and government of Ethiopia for the warm reception an hospitality accorded to them and their delegations in the historic city of Gondar and the beautiful city of Bahr Dar, a reception that reflected the close and historic ties between the three nations.

Keep friends close, enemies even more closer. Soomaalideena should not waste a political opportunity like this. Waa inaa dalkeena ku hormarinaa, iskuna keenaa without Xabashi interference.

I am sure Farmaajo will go to Jabuuti, and tell them Soomaaliya will always be their big brother and our interests should always remain and be the same.

wow

Look at the picture again. It says a lot.

Isayas has only one person who may be his body guard.

He speaks for every minister (Eritrea has no proper cabinet anyway). He is the supervisor of this UAE project.

That is the problem with all dictators.

They do not want anyone around who can tell them they are wrong.

This whole dog and pony show is fake, hiding something. Isayas wants to show he is a regional leader, he is the supervisor for UAE and he adds his own personal issues to the project.

Djibouti is the single most important country for Ethiopia. then its Sudan. Ethiopians are also not happy that neutrality on Arab affairs is damaged and now deep into UAE/Saudi side.
