Somalia Considers Granting Ethiopia Access to Indian Ocean Port
Somalia is weighing the possibility of granting neighboring Ethiopia access to one of its Indian Ocean ports, a decision that could help resolve a long-standing dispute over Ethiopia’s desire for direct sea access.
The two countries have been at odds for years over Ethiopia’s landlocked status and its need for a direct trade route to the ocean. However, recent talks between Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud have brought the issue to the forefront once again.
During their meeting on Thursday, the leaders discussed the potential for Somalia to allow Ethiopia to use its port facilities, a move that could ease tensions and facilitate better trade relations between the neighboring nations.
