Your boy king got to save face getting a commercial deal in line with the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Celebrate the deal you were offered before you tried to blackmail us.

You know what's really funny. All the Somalis who were kissing the ass of Turkey. They even made Somali songs lauding Turks:




Somalia is cursed.

The people are cursed unfortunately. 33 years of chaos and instability, with no end in sight. Why doesnt anyone in Somalia care?

This is an Ethiopian W. Their end goal was Red Sea access, and regardless, they forced it to happen. We will wait and see what Somalia charges them for it. I'm guessing it will be cheaper than Djibouti.

Djibouti belongs to France. Ethiopia is not allowed to touch it. Somalia however will be carved up real soon. Ethiopia will have a navy base to themselves.

Before you get too excited, where does it say the MoU was withdrawn?

Looks like Ethiopia is doubling up on Sea Access and furthermore, getting their way into AUSSOM too. It's been a terrible day for Somaila but it was always coming. My message to the Hawiye government is to not crash out over Somaliland but you guys are not really the smartest.

The leaders of Somalia and Ethiopia reaffirmed their respect and commitment to one another's sovereignty, unity, independence and territorial integrity, as well as the principles enshrined in international law.

It's dead broski. Their whole argument was they questioned Somalia being one. Now they acknowledge it.But we somalis are not out of the woodwork yet. We'll see in february what kind of commercial deal they want.

Ethiopia has been saying that the whole time. What changed?

They did not. They questioned Somalia’s territory, and refused to acknowledge it.

Ethiopia refuses to recognise Somalia as a sovereign neighbouring country," Somalia president said Saturday during an address to the nation.
"Until it recognises the sovereignty of Somalia, we cannot talk about a sea or any other thing.

Somalia's President Denounces Ethiopia Over Sovereignty Issue

Somalia's President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud on Saturday accused Ethiopia of not accepting his country as a sovereign state.

The MoU is still on the table but it's a face saving exercise to include Ethiopia in the next AU mission. This is what makes sense to me.

Mogadishu government is too weak to fight on so many fronts it's sad to see Hawiye wasting their opportunity like this.

MOU is not dead sxb. I’m afraid @Itsnotthateasy is right. Ethiopia is playing it’s 2 naago off each other.

At what point did Ethiopia ever admit to not respecting sovereignty?

You have to understand these Ethiopians are not really that erratic to cancel a deal overnight. They see it as a long term program like the GERD - it will go over 10 years. They are playing a long game while you guys are shifting every minute because you don't have stable foundation. Instead of building a stable base you are reaching for SL. This is not how things are done.

 

[Maakhri2024]

Damiin far weyn kuugu dhigaa. They signed the MoU saying we don't recognise Somalias territory as one. Today they're saying they recognise it, what more do you want?

It's like someone saying, "I don't consider your house to be yours " and you foolishly agreeing to let them use your house so they'll approve that your house is yours.

Any deal between Ethiopia and Somaliland is not Somalia’s business

Speaking like that as a head of state means you don't acknowledge the country you're speaking abouts territory. Of course I understand, Ethiopia has had a functioning government in the past 30 years where we had a total state collapse. They have long term plans, and have planned strategies to get there.

Even more with Abiy at the helm. The way he used Eritrea to help him massacre Tigrays and then turn on them was crazy. I honestly don't have that much hope in our people atm, but IA we get to build a stable government with everybody on board and a strong national defense. That's our only hope.

I think HSM is worried that Ethiopia would get into AUSSOM. Trump wouldn't give him everything he wanted like deciding which countries can participate in AUSSOM. At least here he got a statement that looked like the MoU was canceled and he survives politically for a few months.

Without Trump there's no way he would met with Abiy. Same with Ruto looking nervous and trying to arrange things. They were both Democrat favourites now they have to survive with what they have.

Everyone saying the MoU is dead is just politicking for Somalia, they know the truth.

AUSSOM starts before his inauguration, and tbh with you I don’t think Trump cares much for "shithole" countries as he likes to call Africa. This meeting came at the request of Abiy, I see it as a win for now. But I fully expect them to continue being destabilising factor in building back our country.

It’s 2025 and this country doesn't have a single interceptor jet. Anyone can come and go as they please. Imagine being a xabashi MIG getting called from Muqdisho: e hello, can you pls leave our airspace? Nigga would laugh in Amharinya. You gotta have thick skin to be somali wallahi.
