IGAD calls for peaceful resolution of tensions between Ethiopia, Somalia
The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), an East African bloc, has called for a peaceful and amicable resolution of the current situation between Ethiopia and Somalia.
Recent negative developments in relations between Ethiopia and Somalia occurred after Ethiopia and Somaliland, a self-declared region of Somalia, signed an agreement allowing Ethiopia access to the Red Sea in return for its recognition of Somaliland as an independent state.
Somalia, which views Somaliland as part of its territory, described the agreement as having no legal force and summoned its ambassador to Ethiopia for deliberations over the agreement signed between Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Somaliland leader Muse Bihi Abdi on Monday.
The IGAD said that it is “diligently” monitoring the situation and recognized the potential implications for regional stability and also appealed to the two sides to collaborate toward a peaceful and amicable resolution of the situation, upholding the shared values that unite the IGAD family.
