Somalia Cabinet to Discuss Ethiopia-Somaliland Pact

Somalia's cabinet is holding an emergency meeting to address the agreement between Ethiopia and the breakaway region of Somaliland which allowed Ethiopia to use the Red Sea port of Berbera, giving it access to a leased military base. The pact will allow Ethiopia to set up commercial marine operations and will provide a share of Ethiopian Airlines to Somaliland. The agreement has triggered fury in Mogadishu and is considered a violation of Somalia's sovereignty. The outcome of the emergency cabinet meeting is anticipated to significantly shape Somalia’s response to the agreement and its potential impact on regional dynamics. The agreement adds a new layer of tension to the situation with Somalia and Somaliland, who previously agreed to restart talks to resolve their disputes.
