Egypt Could Impose Blockade on Somaliland for its MoU with Ethiopia

Egypt’s has expressed strong opposition to the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between Somaliland and Ethiopia.

Through its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Egypt described the MoU as a threat to Somalia’s territorial integrity and regional stability.

Egypt has a long-standing policy of supporting Somalia’s unity and opposing any actions that might encourage the fragmentation of the country.

The warning from Egypt includes the possibility of a blockade against Somaliland if it formalizes the MoU into a full agreement.

This move would be part of Egypt’s efforts to push Somaliland back into unification with Somalia, reinforcing its commitment to maintaining Somalia’s territorial cohesion.
