#Update: UAE-Backed Berbera Port Emerges as Ethiopia’s Lifeline to the Sea Through Somaliland.
Ethiopia is seeking deeper cooperation with the United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪 and Somaliland to ease the strategic constraints of being landlocked, with officials pointing to UAE-backed Berbera port and corridor investments as central to Addis Ababa’s regional economic ambitions.
Speaking at the UAE-Africa Dialogue in Addis Ababa, Getachew Reda, an adviser to Ethiopia’s prime minister, said Ethiopia must work closely with the Emirates to address its lack of direct sea access through joint infrastructure development.
The UAE has already emerged as a major investor in the Horn of Africa, including in the expansion of Somaliland’s Berbera port, a project seen as critical to Ethiopia’s trade routes, as well as in planned corridor and railway links connecting Somaliland and Ethiopia.
The two-day forum, aimed at strengthening UAE-Africa partnerships, also included the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Ethiopia’s Institute of Foreign Affairs and the UAE’s Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy, part of a broader effort to deepen diplomatic and economic ties between Abu Dhabi and Addis Ababa.

Today, at the 'Digital for Excellence' summit, we officially inaugurated the Unified MESOB Application, Africa's first unified digital service application that brings services from across institutions onto a single platform. This milestone is a source of immense national pride and a testament to what deliberate, focused investment in technology can deliver.
MESOB one-stop service is critical economic infrastructure. It saves citizens' time, closes corruption gaps, and strengthens institutional integrity on the government side. Above all, it stands as a clear demonstration that Ethiopia's ambitions are not wishes, they are realities we build with our own hands and our own capacity.
I call on us to consolidate this achievement, share this experience with our African brothers and sisters, and move forward with the determination to deliver even more!

“I wouldn't have taken it, but I FELT SORRY for her... She's probably happy I talked to her. I didn't have to talk to her,” said Trump in an interview to the La7 TV channel
Meloni immediately released a video in which she claimed that this was a brutal lie on Trump's part and that neither she nor Italy ever begged.
This is not a rant by a random genocidal lunatic. It's a public post by the national security minister of the Israeli regime.
The genocidal death cult headquartered in Tel Aviv is a threat to all of humanity. It threatens all humans. Its only interest is permanent war.

Iran Suspends Entire 60-Day Negotiation Process With the U.S.
Iran has halted its entire 60-day negotiation framework with the United States after accusing Washington of violating the very first clause of the recently signed MOU.
According to Fars and Al-Mayadeen, Iranian officials argue Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon less than 24 hours after the agreement was electronically signed constituted a direct breach of U.S. obligations under the deal.
Iran’s delegation was reportedly preparing to depart for Switzerland for the first round of talks when Tehran abruptly canceled the trip. Iranian officials now say they will not fulfill their own commitments until they are fully assured Israeli attacks on Lebanon have stopped and the U.S. has adhered to the agreement’s first-clause requirements.
The first round of U.S.-Iran talks is now effectively off the table.
