Ethiopia fears the UAE-ARABS are coming to take their spot as the hegemonic power of the horn, hence the reason they're moving closer to farmajo and the mogadishu regime

Your into something right there, also the people are about to split in somaliland
pro-ethio, those who are against the berbera deal and pro-uae those who are with the deal.

The real question is, UAE port deal is recent so why haven't ethiopia recognized somaliland long time ago if the somalilanders were expecting their recognizion?

I guess all that ass licking to Ethiopia daily did not pay off

SOMALI PRESIDENT VISITS ETHIOPIA



05 May, 2017

Ethiopia clarifies intention towards Somaliland

Somalia’s new president, Mohamed Abdullahi “Farmajo” Mohamed, paid a two-day visit to Ethiopia beginning May 3 upon the invitation of Prime Minister Hailemariam Dessalegn. In discussions they later held, the two leaders agreed to closely work together towards elimination of the Al-Shabaab terrorist group from Somali soil within two years.

During a joint press conference held at the National Palace, Hailemariam said that Ethiopia is ready to support Somalia to enable it take over the responsibility of securing the country from the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), AU’s regional peacekeeping force in Somalia.

The premier also noted that his government always respected “the territorial integrity of the Somalia republic”. Replying to a question put to him from a Somali journalist, Hailemariam denied any intent by his government to bestow recognition on Somaliland.

He further pointed out that, “Ethiopia has never had any official relations with Somaliland. We always do that with the consent of the federal government in Mogadishu.”

On his part, President “Farmajo” noted that Al-Qaeda-linked Al-Shabaab has been around for the last ten years "causing havoc and destruction”.

“It’s a threat not only to Somalia but to the whole region,” he said, and appreciated the support by Ethiopia, Kenya and other countries contributing troops to AMISOM.

He also stated that in collaboration with Ethiopia, his government has already prepared a comprehensive strategy to fight and eliminate Al-Shabaab.

Meanwhile, the Ethiopian prime minister assured the Somali president that, as chairperson of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), he would work to make the forthcoming London conference on Somalia a success.

He also talked about the need for international efforts to address the humanitarian catastrophe in Somalia caused by severe drought.

Meles Alem, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said the visit would open a new chapter in the relationship between the two nations.

The two leaders also agreed to implement previous agreements reached between the two countries and are looking for economic integration and the free movement of goods and people. In this regard, an agreement was reached to set up a joint ministerial commission that would work on finding areas of cooperation in the political and economic spheres.

Meanwhile, the Somali president expressed interest in engaging the Ethiopian government with a view to amicably resolving boundary issues between the two neighboring countries in the Horn of Africa.

Pure probaganda the press conference is in video and he never mentioned somaliland nor even alluded to it . he only mentioned Italian Somalia and clarified his position and policy towards regions within Somalia.

I thought you would know little bit more about politics and some of the international laws as well as the ongoing issues in the Horn.

Ethiopia cannot recognise SL first. It can do so when someone else does first but the international community knows Ethiopia and Kenya have their own disputes with now collapsed Somali Republic.

Any recommendations by the neighbors will be seen furthering their own interests.

That's that and the second issue is Ethiopia has secessionism issues. By recognising SL they will be accused of double standards and may fuel her own ethnic secessionism.

It is like Turkey.

They aid the Kurds in Iraq but they can never recognise Kurdistan.

The port and the Arabs are actually advantages for Ethiopia and Ethiopia is a partner.

They need Sudan and Sudan is close to UAE, KSA, and Qatar.

Then you have KSA heavily investing in Ethiopia.

UAE has ports in Djibouti and SL now.

During yesterday's official hand over of Berbera Ethiopia sent ber delegation as did the Russians.





Ethiopia supports SL in many ways and is not close to Farmajo otherwise they would close the SL liaison office, which is one of the biggest.



The Ethiopian gov even provides full security 24/7.

Well, Ethiopia doesn't want to publicly confirm (even more) the commonly held belief that Ethiopia is supporting the fragmentation and division of the Somali people. It does have a policy of divide and conquer among Somalis but doesn't want it to be so obvious, which is what would happen if Ethiopia openly said "Ethiopia recognizes the independence of Somaliland." So, they work with Somaliland and Mogadishu, but is very happy when Somalis are divided and are fighting each other. If someone else recognized Somaliland, then they'd probably do it. But they can't and won't be the first to do it.
Ethiopia wants to remain the big boss of the Horn, anyone in the way, has to go, in TPLFs eyes. Eritrea had the same ambition but its army obviously can't match Ethiopias. Tplf, They especially fear and hate Arabs, even Meles Zenawi did. They even told the Arab coalition in Eritrea recently...that if they support Eritreas policy of destabilizing Ethiopia, that Ethiopia will attack. UAE has the $$$ to arm Oromo, Ogadenis, Afars, etc, they can do a lot, so TPLF is right to fear.

[AwRastaale]

If Ethiopia is against SL it would recall Ethiopian Airlines, all the universities there and all the other activities instead Ethiopia is increasing engagement with SL by becoming partner in Berbera venture, exporting electricity and other contacts.

Anti-Ethiopia separatists pray every day for relationship to collapse between SL and ET.

All we see is things strengthening more.

[Waachis]

Nobody said they're against Somaliland. You're misinterpreting what I wrote. I'm saying, they're against Arab presence in the Horn, because they could potentially alter the balance of power in a way that won't favor TPLF. So, they will try to get to Somalia, just refer to the puppet prime ministers recent statements.
They'll still do business with Somalia, Somaliland and Djibouti for sure. Ethiopia is landlocked, they'll always need the Somali, lol.
