Statement from former PM Hassan Kheyre

 

1dii Jannaayo 2024, Itoobiya waxa ay duullaan qaawan ku soo qaadday dalkeenna, ka dib markii ay heshiis is afgarad ah oo sharcidarro ah la saxiixatay Madaxweynihii hore ee Somaliland. Umadda Soomaaliyeed, shacab iyo dowladba waxa ay ka gilgisheen duullaankaas, waxa ayna madaxda Dowladda Federaalku ballanqaadeen in aaney wadahadal la geli doonin Itoobiya iyadoo aan si rasmi ah uga laaban heshiiskaas xadgudubka ku ah qarannimada Soomaaliyeed.

Waxaa ayaandarro ah in Madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh uu gorgortan la galo Itoobiya oo weli ku adkeysanaysa is afgaradkii halista ku ahaa midnimada iyo madaxbannaanida Soomaaliya. In Madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh uu wadahadal la galo Itoobiya iyadoo aan la laalin is afgaradkii sharcidarrada ahaa, Itoobiyana u ogolaado baddeenna, waa xadgudub hor leh oo lagula kacay qarannimada Soomaaliya oo Madaxweynaha dalku garwadeen ka yahay.

Heshiiskii is afgaradka ahaa ee 1dii Jannaayo 2024 waa folkaano u aasan dadka iyo dalka Soomaaliyeed oo qarxi karta xilli waliba. Si khatartaas looga gaashaanto waa in wadahadal kasta oo Itoobiya lala gelayo ay shardi u ahaataa in ay heshiiskaas si rasmi uga laabato. Waxaana Madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh ugu baaqayaa in aanu halistaas u hoosaasin dadka iyo dalka, gorgortan siyaasadeedna ku gelin qarannimada Soomaaliyeed, mudnaanta koowaadna siiyo daminta colaadaha iyo xiisadda siyaasadeed ee ka aloolsan gudaha dalka iyo adkeynta midnimada iyo wadajirka umadda oo maanta kala dhantaalan.

Waxaan ummadda Soomaaliyeed, shacab iyo dowladba, ku boorrinayaa in ay ka feejignaadaan halista ku geedaamaan heshiiskaas sharcidarrada ah iyo tallaabooyinka aan laga baaraandegin ee ay qaadeyso dowladda Federaalka oo dhaawac ku noqon doonta madaxbannaanida, midnimada, iyo mustaqbalka Soomaaliya.

Somalia, Ethiopia begin technical talks in Turkey on maritime access

Mogadishu (HOL) — Mogadishu (HOL) — A day after Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed met to restore ties, officials from both nations have begun technical talks in Ankara to implement the Ankara Declaration and discuss Ethiopia’s bid for maritime access through Somali territory.

 

Somali Minister of Information Daud Aweis confirmed his participation in the discussions, stating that the delegation's primary focus is on implementing agreements reached in previous diplomatic engagements.

"I have arrived in Ankara to join #Somalia delegation for the kick-off of the first round of technical discussions between Somalia and Ethiopia, aimed at exploring ways to implement the Ankara Declaration," Aweis wrote on X.

"Somalia is committed to fostering peace, strengthening cooperation, and building diplomatic relations grounded in mutual understanding and respect," he added.

The talks come as Ethiopia continues to push for a maritime trade corridor, a demand that has fueled geopolitical disputes in the Horn of Africa. On January 1, 2024, Ethiopia signed an MoU with Somaliland that proposed granting Addis Ababa access to a 19-kilometer stretch of coastline near Berbera for 50 years. The deal, which included potential Ethiopian recognition of Somaliland's independence, triggered a strong rebuke from Somalia's federal government, which denounced the agreement as an infringement on its sovereignty.

Somalia has insisted that any maritime agreement must be negotiated exclusively with the federal government in Mogadishu and must comply with international law. The technical committees, composed of representatives from both governments, are expected to assess the feasibility of a framework where Ethiopia could gain controlled access under Somali oversight.

Turkey, which maintains strong diplomatic and military ties with Somalia, has previously acted as a mediator in regional disputes. While Ankara played a key role in brokering the December 2024 Ankara Declaration, it remains unclear whether Turkey is actively facilitating these discussions or simply hosting the Somali delegation.

The outcome of these negotiations could reshape regional alliances and power dynamics in the Horn of Africa. A mutually beneficial agreement may enhance economic cooperation and regional stability. At the same time, failure to reach a consensus could escalate tensions and embolden insurgent groups such as al-Shabaab, which have historically exploited political disputes for recruitment and influence

so what does this mean a defense pact with Ethiopia what does it mean on the ground and how do you reconcile the treaties Culusow signed with Sisis Egypt. Its all getting more confusing the entire 2024  Culusow said Ethiopia is the only enemy we have and he at some point put them on the same level of Alshabaab that they are worse then Alshabaab. So what changed
