Somaliland President Opposes Interventions Threatening Ethiopia’s Security

Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi has declared opposition to any foreign interference that threatens Ethiopia's security. He made the remarks following a visit to the US and UAE, explicitly criticizing the recent alliance formed by Egypt, Somalia, Eritrea, and Sudan.

The President argued that the recent declarations by these four nations undermine Somaliland's sovereignty and are contrary to regional stability. He warned that any regional decision concerning the Horn of Africa should not exclude Somaliland. Asserting that his country is committed to peaceful coexistence, he warned that any attempts at interference in Somaliland's internal affairs would be met with appropriate responses. The tensions arise amid Ethiopia's ongoing pursuit of sea access through a memorandum with Somaliland.
