Fiqi Announces End of Diplomatic Row between Somalia and Ethiopia

Somalia’s Foreign Minister Ahmed MoFiqi has officially announced the resolution of the diplomatic conflict with Ethiopia.

While announcing this on Thursday, Fiqi emphasized Somalia’s diplomatic maturity as a key factor in achieving this breakthrough.

The minister highlighted the importance of unity and collaboration in regional affairs, rejecting opposition criticisms of the agreement as “undiplomatic.”

This resolution marks a significant step in strengthening relations between the two neighboring nations, who have been at loggerheads since January 1, 2024.

The diplomatic tiff between them started when Ethiopia signed a direct seaport access with Somaliland, a move Somalia labelled a breach of its territorial integrity and sovereignty.
