Ethiopia-Somaliland deal receives wide condemnations, including from Egypt, Turkey
January 4, 2024Somalia is receiving an outpouring of support following a controversial deal struck between neighboring Ethiopia and the breakaway region of Somaliland earlier this week. Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Somaliland leader Muse Bihi Abdi signed on Monday a memorandum of understanding that would give Ethiopia access to the Red Sea. Under the deal, Ethiopia will be allowed to use the port of Berbera in the breakaway region, and in exchange, Addis Ababa will recognize Somaliland as an independent state. Somalia vehemently rejected the deal, describing it as a violation of its own sovereignty. Egypt, which is at odds with Ethiopia over the latter’s controversial Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), also condemned the deal and stressed the need to respect Somalia's territorial integrity.

"There will be 3,000 livelihoods lost in Western Australia because of this. "These animal activists are morally bankrupt – go and get photos off these Sudanese and Ethiopian boats and show the Australian people.

Salafi-Jihadi Movement Update Special Edition: Ethiopia-Somaliland Port Deal Strains Horn of Africa Counterterrorism Cooperation and Alters Red Sea Geopolitics
The port deal has severely strained Somali-Ethiopian relations and increased anti-Ethiopian sentiment in southern Somalia, which will likely weaken regional counterterrorism cooperation and energize al Shabaab. [14] Shortly after Ethiopia and Somaliland announced the deal, Somalia recalled its ambassador to Ethiopia for consultations. The Ethiopia-Somaliland port deal prompted an anti-Ethiopian backlash in southern Somalia. [30] Al Shabaab has historically capitalized on anti-Ethiopian sentiment to boost support among the Somali population across the Horn of Africa. [56] An Ethiopian port will only amplify Eritrea’s longer-term concerns of Ethiopian aggression, even if it allays short-term fears of an imminent invasion.

Plane Crash in Tokyo Raises Design Concerns
The body of the passenger jet, an Airbus 350, was made of carbon-composite fibers. The crash may become an important test of the safety of composite materials for some uses in aircraft. The larger Japan Airlines (JAL) passenger jet was given permission to use the runway where the coast guard plane, a Bombardier Dash-8, was preparing for takeoff. The FAA has said for more than 20 years that there are dangers related to composite materials. Although the inside of the passenger plane filled with smoke after the explosion, all 379 passengers were able to escape.
