Somalia President's Accusations Against Ethiopia: A Series of Controversies

Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud accuses Ethiopia of attempting to annex part of Somalia's territory by signing a sea access deal with the breakaway region of Somaliland, which Somalia claims as its own. The agreement grants Ethiopia a 50-year lease on a naval base with access to Somaliland's Berbera port, sparking outrage from Somalia and leading to a dispute between the two countries. President Mohamud also alleges that Ethiopian security forces tried to block his access to the African Union summit, while Ethiopia denies the accusation and insists that they warmly welcomed the Somali delegation.
