Somalia’s president alleged that Ethiopian security forces tried to bar him from attending the African Union summit in Addis Ababa. The incident came amid a dispute between the countries involving the breakaway region of Somaliland. Speaking to journalists before cutting short his trip, Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said the actions of the Ethiopian forces were part of a grand scheme by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to annex part of Somalia. The Ethiopian government rejected Mohamud’s claim and said the Somali leader and his delegation declined to be accompanied by a security detail assigned to him. The claims by Mohamud escalated tensions that were already running high because of an agreement signed New Year’s Day between Abiy and Somaliland President Muse Bihi.

The head of Boeing’s 737 jetliner program is out of a job after 18 years with the company, weeks after the Federal Aviation Administration questioned the division’s commitment to safety.

Hundreds of flights were canceled across several airlines as the FAA grounded 171 Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft. Earlier this month, a National Transportation Safety Board report revealed the blown-out panel had been missing all four bolts meant to secure it.

By Marc ChampionVisiting Ethiopia, Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva declared Israel’s devastating war in Gaza as a genocide conducted by soldiers on women and children, unique in history except for the Holocaust.
