Ethiopia Deploys additional Troops into Neighboring SomaliaNAIROBI, Kenya - Multiple sources have confirmed sighting Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) soldiers moving into Somalia territory, a move which has triggered fear along the border of the two countries that are major security partners. Residents of Matabaan claimed Ethiopian soldiers had moved further into the territory of Somalia but their immediate mission could not be established. A local official was quoted as saying that Ethiopian troops have “turned back” after meeting with local officials and elders. On Monday last week, large numbers of Ethiopian soldiers also arrived in the vicinity of Doolow town, Somalia. On an official Facebook page, Ethiopian troops confirmed that they held a meeting with elders.
