Ankara Declaration: How President Hassan Sheikh cornered Abiy Ahmed into submission

[Deeq A.]

President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has once again demonstrated why he is a formidable leader and ahead in the region’s diplomatic game. When Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Somaliland, some people thought it was a done deal. But by the time Abiy showed up in Ankara, that agreement was as good as dead. The president didn’t just outsmart Abiy, he backed him into a corner and made him walk away from his own mess.
