News: #Somaliland says preparation for implementation of MoU with #Ethiopia ‘on track’ addisstandard.com/news-somalilan… The Somaliland Ministry for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation reiterated the government's unwavering commitment to executing the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with Ethiopia, emphasizing that it is "on course without any wavering, and remain seized" of the implementation process. According to a statement released by the ministry on 20 February, following various engagements in #Addis_Abeba, aligned with the 37th African Union summit, a delegation led by Minister Essa Kayd Mohamud (PhD) was able to ascertain that the MoU "is not only lawful, legal and legitimate under international law and statues, but how transformative it is for Somaliland and Ethiopia, and also for the region both in terms of the economy, trade and security spheres." The signing of the MoU on 01 January 2024, granting Ethiopia access to the sea in return for international recognition for Somaliland, has escalated tensions in neighboring #Somalia, which argued that the MoU "violates its sovereignty and territorial integrity." The move also generated several diplomatic statements from various countries pledging their support for Somalia's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Likening the MoU signed with Ethiopia to the multi-million dollar investment project reached with the #UAE's Dubai Ports World (DP-World) for the expansion and modernization of the Berbera Port, the statement enunciated Somaliland's capacity to enter into bilateral cooperation agreements.
