Somalia: Ethiopia is not willing to withdraw Sea MoU with SomalilandMOGADISHU, Somalia - President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has expressed his concerns about Ethiopia's approach to seeking to access the sea, noting that the country has neither shown remorse nor commitment to withdraw the controversial agreement with Somaliland. He was speaking after talks between Ethiopia and Somalia ended in Turkey without a breakthrough. He said Ethiopia and Somalia delegates did not hold direct talks, but Turkey was acting as the intermediary. The talks in Ankara are yet to iron out the differences as Somalia maintained the agreement ought to be dropped for sanity to prevail. A statement released on Monday in Ankara indicates that Somalia and Ethiopia signed a joint declaration in Turkey, which expresses mutual willingness to resolve their issues.
