President Muse Bihi Abdi commended the people of Somaliland who are in the United Kingdom for supporting the seaport deal signed with Ethiopia on January 1, 2024.
The President welcomed the protests that Somalilanders in the diaspora have been holding in the UK to demonstrate their support for the deal with Ethiopia.
In the deal, Ethiopia gets direct access to 20kms of Somaliland’s seaport.
In return, Somaliland receives international recognition from Ethiopia.
Some of Somaliland’s most prominent supporters attended the recent rally in the UK. They included Gavin Williamson, a British Member of Parliament (MP).
