Somalia's Civil Aviation Authority (SCAA) has issued a stern ultimatum to Ethiopian Airlines, threatening to suspend all flights to Somalia by August 23, 2024, unless sovereignty concerns are addressed. The SCAA accuses the airline of undermining Somali sovereignty by removing city names from flight information, which has intensified local grievances. This dispute has arisen amidst deteriorating relations between Somalia and Ethiopia, particularly after a controversial maritime agreement involving Somaliland, which Somalia considers a violation of its territorial integrity. The SCAA also warned Fly Dubai of similar repercussions if they continue to reference Somaliland on their platforms. The situation is further complicated by an increase in public complaints regarding Ethiopian Airlines' operations, prompting calls for respect towards Somali national identity. The international community is monitoring the situation closely due to its potential implications for stability in the Horn of Africa.
