"Somalia Reacts to Ethiopia-Somaliland Port Deal, Asserts Sovereignty"

Somalia has recalled its ambassador to Ethiopia and is vowing to defend its sovereignty by legal means after Ethiopia signed a deal with the self-declared independent region of Somaliland, granting Ethiopia access to the Red Sea. The Somali government views the agreement as a violation of its territorial integrity, as it does not recognize Somaliland's claim to independence. The deal, which includes access to a military base, has raised concerns in Somalia, which has appealed to international organizations for support. This development follows recent attempts to resume dialogue between Somalia and Somaliland, with the latter seeking international recognition since 1991.
