Matthew Bryden: 'Nothing illegal about the MOU' between Ethiopia and Somaliland

[Deeq A.]

MOGADISHU (HOL) — Political analyst Matt Bryden has defended Ethiopia's recent recognition of Somaliland, citing the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed on January 1, 2024, as compliant with international legal standards. The agreement, which provides Ethiopia strategic access to the Red Sea through Berbera Port and a military base, has heightened tensions with Somalia, which claims Somaliland as part of its territory.
