Xaaji Xunjuf Posted January 28, 2022 It’s every where in the official Ethiopian cominique. The Ethiopian president appointed him. Ethiopia upgrades its consular in Somaliland to ambassador 354Shares Thursday January 27, 2022 ADDIS ABABA (HOL)- Ethiopia has upgraded its diplomatic standing with the break-away region of Somaliland following the appointment of an ambassador to Hargeisa. President Sahle Work Zewde decreed Wednesday the promotion of Said Mohammed, who has been the head of consular in Somaliland to a full ambassador. The new changes follow a visit by President Muse Bihi on January 19 to Ethiopia where he had been invited by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. Though Ethiopia has maintained, including last week, that Somaliland is part of Somalia, the upgrade of its diplomatic status sends a strong indication of its intention of considering the recognition of the breakaway region. The upgrade of to full embassy of its consular in Somaliland also comes amid reports that Ethiopia is negotiating a stake in the ancient port of Zeyla in Somaliland. Currently, Ethiopia has a 19% per cent stake at the port of Berbera in a joint concession with UAE’s P&O Ports. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Upgrading its consular office to an Embassy would mean recognition, you do realise that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

galbeedi Posted January 28, 2022 It is a fake news from Hiiraan Online. This outlet is a well known separatist mouth piece . Things are getting bad bad between Biixi and Ethiopia. Folks I have a big news on this many others including the Zaylac port project. Talk to you today after work. Xaaji will be very disappointed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xaaji Xunjuf Posted January 28, 2022 Not really it’s on the Ethiopian news outlets as well hiiraan online is not pro somaliland the Amhara president said it also why is the walanweyn foreign minister in Ethiopia complaining somaliland is making progress Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galbeedi Posted January 29, 2022 There is a big difference between national ,regional or even international news making the headlines or planted news and fabricated news. This news was given to Hiiraanonline to pave the way for the real news that supposed to be released a day or two by Somaliland Maamul. Few years ago a Somali/Ethiopian man who was a veteran ambassador was sent to represent Ethiopia in Hargeisa to represent Ethiopia to process mostly visa and other trade related issues, yet no one even said he was an ambassador. The real news is Ethiopia no longer owned the 19% offered by in Berbera port while DP World took almost 60%. Finance minister Mr. Cali Shire said this week that Ethiopia no longer owns the 19% offered by the Maamul and now DP world owns 65% and Somaliland 35%. We haven't seen any document, public meeting or ceremony for change of shares other than the words of the minister. Yet Hiiraanonline published that news two days after the earlier headline Bal adiguba is qabadsii, ' Ethiopia Dekeda Berbera waxa kuma leh oo way ka baxday mashruucaas iyo Ethiopia oo safiir Somaliland u soo magacawday" Zaylac port development there was a meeting between the Biixi administration and Ethiopia in late August about the future development of Zaylac port. In the light of the military threat posed by the TPLF of the Djibouti--Addis train and the disruption of some local clans between Djibouti--Diredhabe line, Ethiopia begun looking alternative ports and routes in the region. Nothing was concluded, but the Somaliland Maamul waited the outcome of the war hoping like many Somalis in the region and Djibouti for eventual victory of the TPLF or setting up of a new administration allied with the Tigray Junta. As soon as the defeat of the TPLF became apparent, Biixi and company had launched a big lobbying campaign including spending $2 million dollars in Washington alone. Some of the campaign spread headed by some American think tanks was headed by Michael Rubin who wrote an offensive piece accusing Ethiopia of invading Somaliland, flowed by another lobbying effort in England where a former disgraced conservative party member party introduced a private members bill. Well Lobbying efforts and money could take you that far but won't produce anything meaningful. I even saw Mr. Kayd, the current foreign minister who used to own a " Qat Mijilis" in Ottawa, came back home in Canada and sponsored couple of advertising pieces in the local papers pushing the anti China and pro Taiwan memes to ride the current political climate of the China vs Canada /USA issues. This fool should have known that Canada is one the for front nations who oppose separatist movements around the world while dealing the French speaking province of Quebec which from time to time agitates for separation. I know personally the Somali foreign minister and his travels in the region is mostly related to the lobbying efforts of Somali to have a seat at the next Africa SEcurity Council table to have a real impact on the coming discussions of the withdrawls of the Amisom troops. In his last meeting with Ethiopian leadership, the Abiy administration proposed to build the ZAylac port with 100% of the cost and ready to spend $250 million dollars and push a head the Zaylac--Borama-Jigjiga highway already approved by the African development bank. In return Ethiopia will own 75% of the shares and the rest will be owned by Somaliland. Biixi was clearly told that the project will go ahead only after it is approved by the federal government of Somalia. If he rejected, it will done through the local clans living in the region. He was also told to stop the campaign in the western media about Ethiopia invading. He was told that Ethiopia will not interfere with territorial integrity of the Somali republic, and if any development takes place, it will be done through the internationally recognized government. Before he arrived in Addis, the Oromo speaking media had even released the news of 150 elders from Awdal received by Ethiopia. I can assure you that it was just five people including the UGaas, but Ethiopia decided to plant that news in a different way. In other words , Biixi was told that this project will done either with you or without you. After Biixi came back from Addis, he never said one single word about the what took place in Addis. He just started his usual attacks on Farmaajo, and that crazy woman Edna Aadan even lost her mind saying" there is no such thing as Somalia". Soon after, Djibouti broke the Somalia arms embargo and sent couple of dozen trucks of weapons to Somaliland. Some people are saying it was bought by the Biixi family from the international market and then passed through Djibouti. Furthermore, the Awdal coast and western part of the region is flooded with Somaliland militia. I can't confirm yet, but we have reports indicating some of the weapons proceeded to northeastern Somalia to reach some militants in the Sanaag mountains. THe Zaylac port is a grave threat to both the Biixi clan and the Djibouti despot. THese two groups will do anything to stop it including trying to bring foreign forces to Somaliland. This is the only Somali entity trying to bring foreign force in its soil to survive just like the one in Djibouti. Certainly strange things are going on in that region. We are flowing couple of developments and will share with you guys in the next few weeks. The same group who offered Berbera port in silver plate are refusing for others to develop. Folks, the 30 year pax Tigranga is over and as such borders in the region might change to reflect the current reality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xaaji Xunjuf Posted January 30, 2022 This is all wishes on your part galbeedi this whole zeilac nonsense is pushed by walanweyn media you claim that Ethiopia is going to develop it own it for seventy five percent and this seems a good idea. The way u formalating it it seems that u are telling this is a great deal. By the way the strategy to support the west against the yellowman in bejiing is a great policy somaliland will win allot of friends like that . Also the tigrayans have not been defeated u really thing the inferior can defeat the tigrayans the leaders of the habesha the descendant’s of the Sabeans impossible my friend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baala xoofto Posted February 3, 2022 The major news for me is the rapprochement of Djibouti and Somaliland. Somaliland is now has very close State-to-State working relationship with Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya. Somaliland will have a good relations with Eritrea once the despot is removed from power.

Xaaji Xunjuf Posted February 9, 2022 I am not sure about Eritrea. Eritrea is to close to the koonfurians because of their former Italian master. But ur right Djibouti is close to somaliland Djibouti is actually the closest country to somaliland in the Horn then it’s Ethiopia and then Kenya in that order the chief of staff of Djibouti was in hargeisa just a few days ago. So the relations are strong Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
