To see the Somali government asking 🇪🇹 to clarify to the world that it is not claiming any land in 🇸🇴 is ironical and an insult to the Somali nation and its freedom fighters who struggled&martyred in the noble course of reuniting the Somali pple to achieve a united greater 🇸🇴
Ethiopia and Abiy Ahmed seek a single handshake from Somalia’s president or foreign minister to deceive the international community and public opinion into believing there are no significant issues between Ethiopia, which is making territorial demands, and Somalia.
Somalia has made it clear that it will not engage with Ethiopian officials unless they reverse their dismemberment and annexation schemes.
Somalia insists on the following:
1.Abiy Ahmed must cancel the MoU with Somaliland.
2.He must unequivocally declare that Ethiopia has no territorial claims against Somalia, particularly concerning its coastline.
3.He must respect Somalia’s inalienable right to manage its territory as it sees fit, including determining its allies and whose support it seeks.
These are the basic tenets of international relations and good neighborliness.

Ethiopian regrets to inform its valued customers travelling to/from Asmara that it has suspended its flights to Asmara effective September 3, 2024, due to very difficult operating conditions it has encountered in Eritrea that are beyond its control.
“The memory of Somalia’s 1977 invasion of Ethiopia remains vivid in Ethiopia’s collective consciousness, to think that the threat to Ethiopia has dissipated would be foolish,” says Ethiopia foreign minister. #Somalia
