Hargeisa (PP Information Desk) — The President-elect of The Somaliland administration, Abdirahman Abdullahi, is planning to go to Ethiopia after his inauguration. Mr Abdullahi will meet the Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to debate the maritime Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that has not but been submitted to the Somaliland Home of Representatives in Hargeisa. Earlier this yr, Mr Abdullahi advised a reporter that he didn’t know the small print of the MoU and that he, in precept, helps any mutually useful cooperation with one other nation.
Mohamed Jama Galal, the Info Secretary of the profitable Waddani Celebration, advised BBC Information that the brand new administration would overview the maritime Memorandum of Understanding the outgoing Somaliland administration signed with Ethiopian Prime Minister on 1 January 2024. The maritime MoU, signed a number of weeks after Somalia and Ethiopia entered right into a defence pact, had strained relations between the nations. The Federal Authorities of Somalia managed to exclude Ethiopia from the peacekeeping drive set to function in Somalia in 2025.
The resumption of Somalia-Somaliland talks is unlikely so long as the Federal Authorities of Somalia insists on the precondition that the Somaliland authorities should withdraw from the maritime MoU.
