somaliland and ethiopia - US and Egypt back Somalia amid tension over Somaliland and Ethiopia Sea Ports deal: It is common knowledge that the Horn of Africa is currently sitting on tenterhooks due to the ongoing Spat between Ethiopia and Somalia over the Somaliland berbera port agreement deal. Ethiopia and Somaliland recently inked a deal that recognised Somaliland as an independent state in exchange for Ethiopia having commercial and naval access to ports along Somaliland's coast. Somalia vehemently opposes the agreement, viewing it as an illegitimate intrusion into its internal affairs and a blatant disregard for its territorial integrity. Ethiopia's recognition of Somaliland as an independent state, embedded within the deal, feels like a dagger to the heart of Somali unity aspirations. Moreover, the prospect of Ethiopia gaining economic and strategic footholds along Somaliland's coastline through the ports adds fuel to the already smouldering fire of regional competition. Amid this tension, the United States and Egypt have backed Somalia against Ethiopia. Why are both countries supporting Somalia against Ethiopia in this heavily disputed Somaliland port deal? And What implications could their support have on the outcome of this conflict? In today's video, we will offer deep insights into these questions and more.
To better understand this story, we need to go all the way back to 1960 when Somalia was formed. The seeds of Somaliland's breakaway were sown in 1960 when the former British protectorate united with Italian Somaliland to form Somalia. However, resentment arose quickly as Somalilanders felt marginalized by the centralized government in the south. This discontent fueled the Somali National Movement rebellion against the Siad Barre regime in the 1980s. Following Barre's overthrow in 1991, Somaliland declared independence, citing -. However, Somalia and the international community have refused to recognize Somaliland for several reasons. Firstly, they see the union of 1960 as irrevocable, viewing Somaliland as a breakaway region. Secondly, concerns linger that recognizing Somaliland could set a dangerous precedent for secessionist movements within other African nations. Additionally, the continued internal conflicts in Somalia raise worries about Somaliland's stability and the potential for further regional instability. Despite these concerns, Somaliland has established a relatively peaceful and democratic state, fostering international development partnerships and building its case for formal recognition. The future of Somaliland's independence remains uncertain, caught between its own aspirations and the complex geopolitical realities of the Horn of Africa
