Shock and disbelief have engulfed Somalia after Ethiopia’s non-African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) troops crossed into the country.
The Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) troops who are not part of ATMIS crossed into the country on Friday.
Currently, they are stationed in Gedo and Hiiraan regions.
The movement of the ENDF troops into Somalia has left local journalists and residents perplexed at the audacity of it all.
Their presence in Gedo and Hiiraan is likely to escalate tensions in areas that are already volatile.
