During his address to AU Leaders Summit in Addis Ababa, the President denounced Ethiopia's recent actions, specifically the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Somaliland, a region within Somalia, to gain access to the sea. He characterized this move as an annexation of another country's territory, which he deemed "unconstitutional, illegal, and unacceptable.
The objective was to look at the progress so far achieved during the implementation of this project and the effectiveness of this services to the community.
