The Arab League announced Sunday that it will convene an emergency virtual ministerial meeting to discuss tensions between Somalia and Ethiopia. Zaki said the meeting will address the consequences of an "unlawfully" signed agreement between Ethiopia and Somalia's breakaway region of Somaliland granting Addis Ababa operational privileges in northwest Somalia's Red Sea area. In response, hundreds of people in Somalia protested against Ethiopia, including a number of prominent Somalis. Ethiopia lost its Red Sea ports in the early 1990s after the Eritrean War of Independence, which lasted from 1961 to 1991. The separation resulted in Ethiopia losing direct access to the Red Sea and key ports.

It intertwined sea access with Ethiopia’s formal recognition of Somaliland – and this has sparked quite a diplomatic stir. However, it still lacks the international recognition that would allow Somaliland full participation in the global community, such as membership in the United Nations. Nuanced distinctions in each party’s priorities have emerged: Somaliland places emphasis on explicit recognition; Ethiopia directs its focus toward regional integration. Somaliland is situated to the south and east of Ethiopia’s Somali Regional State. A renewed push for autonomy from Ethiopia’s Somali community could serve to reignite any number of these simmering internal conflicts and Somali irredentism.

The Henley Passport Index Report released on Wednesday shows the Ethiopia passport fell from 89th place in July 2023 to 93rd place in January 2024. While Rwanda’s ranking did not change, the number of countries its passport holders can travel visa-free rose from 63 to 66. Holders of Kenya’s passport can travel to 76 countries without prior visa application, 47 countries for Ethiopians, 69 for Ugandans, and 73 for Tanzanians. Visa-free travel opens up possibilities for easy movement, potentially boosting opportunities for tourism and business. South Africa’s passport also fell two pegs from 51st place globally in July to 53rd.

The simple answer is Ethiopia’s progress means, progress in Africa, progress in Africa means a loss of raw materials to the Western world. Their deafening false narratives are easily disprovable and they are incapable of making any real negative impact on Ethiopia’s progress. Unfortunately, some of our Eritrean brothers and sisters, including some Eritrean officials, see Ethiopia’s progress as a threat. Ethiopia’s agreement with Somaliland does not hurt anyone, rather, it benefits both Ethiopia and Somaliland. As indicated, Somaliland and Ethiopia’s deal is not the first agreement between a de facto State and a sovereign country.

Restrictions not only included limiting numbers but also prohibited Ethiopian Orthodox Church followers from carrying the Ethiopian flag or wearing clothes, including the traditional “netela,” bearing the colors of the Ethiopian flag.

The Church has rejected this demand, as stated by His Grace Abune Abraham. His Grace Abune Abraham further disclosed that authorities attempting to dictate terms to the church have become too numerous.

Hassan Sheikh: Somalia is capable of fighting Al-Shabaab and EthiopiaMOGADISHU, Somalia - A much infuriated President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud says Somalia will not shy away from battling with both Al-Shabaab militants and Ethiopia, noting that he has lost patience with the interference of the country's territorial integrity and sovereignty. But President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud says Somalis should be united since they have the potential to challenge Ethiopia and Al-Shabaab concurrently. The al-Shabaab militants have been a menace for a while in the Horn of Africa nation. “We are capable of fighting the terrorist militants of the Al-Shabaab and the Ethiopian invaders together as united Somali people,” President Mohamud said.

Centre for Democracy and Economic Development Initiatives (Cdedi) officials have written Attorney General Thabo Chakaka-Nyirenda demanding forensic audit operations of Malawi Airlines. Under the agreement, Malawi Government has 49 percent stakes in Malawi Airlines while the Ethiopian Airlines (ET) has 51 percent shareholding. “This systematic ‘anomaly’ allows Ethiopian Airlines to receive all air ticket money realised from travel agents across the globe who sale tickets on behalf of Malawian Airlines. “Consequently, Malawi Airlines does not have any idea the amount realised on a monthly basis,” reads the letter. According to Cdedi, another interesting aspect of the contract is that all aircraft belong to Ethiopian Airlines and operate as Malawi Airlines on lease, meaning in the event there is termination of contract Malawi will be left without any aircraft.
