    Somaliland is already granted it is independence on 26 Jun 1960. Do not forget that Somaliland is not a region of Somalia-Italy. The British Somaliland and Somalia-Italy tried to create a political union in 1960 that collapsed 35 years back. Somaliland is independent country and Somalilanders run politically their own Country. Please be diplomatically correct.

      Please don't mislead the audience. Somaliland's independence on June 26, 1960, was automatically revoked after it was voluntarily and willingly united with the rest of southern and eastern Somalia.

    If Ethiopia's recognition was not part of the deal then explain this, why Ethiopia promoted its office in Hargeisa to a full Embassy right after the MOU signed by the two countries?

    • @ethiopianlogisticianscommunity
      @ethiopianlogisticianscommunity  20 днів тому

      Thank you for raising this point. The signing of the MoU between Ethiopia and Somaliland was indeed an important step in strengthening their bilateral relationship, but it is crucial to clarify that it does not equate to formal recognition.
      Recognition of a state is not a matter of exchanging benefits or fulfilling material needs. It is a profound decision, akin to granting someone the right to exist as an independent entity on the global stage, a question of life or death for the aspiring state. For Ethiopia, recognition is not about gaining access to ports or resources. Ethiopia's decisions on such matters are guided by broader considerations of regional stability, international norms, and long-term relationships. The upgrade of Ethiopia’s office in Hargeisa to a full embassy can be seen as a step in the process of recognition, but it is important to emphasize that Ethiopia is not recognizing Somaliland for sea routes or port access. Recognition is a far more significant and complex matter, driven by considerations of regional stability, international norms, and long-term diplomatic relations. While this development may seem like a move toward recognition, Ethiopia's actions are not tied to transactional benefits but rather reflect a broader engagement with Somaliland. Unfortunately, this has been misinterpreted by some as an immediate or materialistic motive, which is not the case.

      @@ethiopianlogisticianscommunity if what you're saying is right and recognition of state is not a matter of national intrest exchange, then why did the USA supported and recognized Panama over its strategic water way corridor? USA supported Panama rebels to fight against and secede out of Columbia of course we are not asking that much all we demand is to acknowledge and recognize for what Somaliland people achieved in the last 33 years.
      Every nation follows and chases its national interest no matter who is up against it, so if Ethiopia is not brave enough to pursue its dream then forget about getting access to the Red sea, because Somalia can not grant you that access as it doesn't has a strategic gate way to it. Somaliland will never accept a deal that is not granting its recognition whether you like or not.

    • @ethiopianlogisticianscommunity

      Thank you for your comment. You make an interesting point regarding Panama's situation, but there are significant differences in context when comparing it to Somaliland's quest for recognition. Recognition of a state is not merely a transactional exchange of benefits or material needs, it is a profound decision that grants a nation the right to exist independently on the global stage. While this is the case for most nations, global superpowers like the U.S. operate differently. With immense influence, they can act unilaterally and force their will on others, using power and diplomatic pressure rather than seeking approval. For Africa, however, the situation is different. African nations must rely on cooperation, mutual respect, brotherhood, and shared interests to build relationships and secure recognition. Unlike powerful states, African nations cannot simply demand recognition, they must engage in respectful diplomacy and work together for regional stability. Thus, while Somaliland’s aspirations for recognition are valid, the path forward lies in fostering trust and cooperation, both within Africa and with the international community. Yes, Somaliland has made impressive strides over the past 33 years in terms of stability, governance, and development, recognition is not simply a matter of diplomatic exchange. It involves multilateral negotiations, legal considerations, and regional stability concerns. Ethiopia's position on this issue is shaped by its broader diplomatic priorities, including maintaining peaceful relations with Somalia, which claims Somaliland as part of its territory. This is not about bravery or ambition, it's a strategic decision influenced by long-term regional and international dynamics. Furthermore, while Somaliland has made tremendous progress, the recognition issue is not only about acknowledging past achievements but about building a future where all regional stakeholders, including Ethiopia, Somalia, and the international community, can find common ground for peace and stability. A strategic partnership can exist without immediate recognition but by focusing on common interests and pragmatic solutions. In the end, recognition is a complex process that requires time, diplomacy, and compromise. Somaliland’s progress should be celebrated, but the path to recognition is not solely dependent on one country’s position, it requires a broader, collaborative approach. We all have roles to play in finding solutions that promote stability, peace, and prosperity for all in the region.

      You got to realise that Ethiopia needs more than Somaliland needs, both politically and economically.
      If we stop importing your CHAD/ and we instead importing the Kenyan Mira your economic will no doubt will meltdown within days, and your Birr will collapse too.
      Somaliland spends half a billion dollars on a hard currency a year for importing Jad from Ethiopia.
      Jabouti will increase its taxation on their ports, for get about Eritrea. You will never get a safe and secure port from Somalia and you lost forever the Republic of Somaliland. Somaliland has a precious location the whole World want to invest our Precious Redsea ❤️.
      Finally stick with your dictators like OMAR Geele of Jabouti and the President in name only of Somalia.

    I guess it is a tactical move to avoid unnecessary war. Ethiopia probably was told by the West that Barbara is booked 😊, as they are considering opening their own naval base. The Ethiopian naval ambition probably heightened Westerners' interest. This might turn out to be a win for Somaliland at the end in securing its statehood. If the US recognized them, Europe would follow and then the UN. Anyway, Addis should still seek the Barbara ambition, at least for commercial purposes, without going in conflict with Mogadishu. If there's a will, there is a way to make it work.

    Somaliland had never colonised and was protectorate then got international recognition 36 countries back in 26 June 1960. So Somalia have never get recognition they have our flag and our recognition we are the one who have members in the united nation. when we unite back in 1961 Somaliland and Somalia didn’t workout for us then we fight back and we destroyed Somalia government then after that we stand our Somaliland sovereignty and build our country and government institutions, currency and passport. Then our politicians failed to communicate with the united nation and united nation knows the reality their is documents and record the flag Somalia using now is the flag we take when we got recognition and it is our mark so that flag is Somaliland flag under united nation so also Somalia politicians they are beat our politicians Somaliland because they fool us they have our flag and recognition and Somaliland need to approach better way to deal with united nation and communicate directly and write, debate to them to sending later and ambassadors to the neighbouring countries and acting like recognition country so we need that kind of confidence, is not take more then a month to prove that Somalia they can’t prove that so forget about Ethiopia and USA we have everything just we need to build our confidence that is all

    If Ethiopia reneges on the MoU signed with Somaliland, I believe that Somaliland may lose on it being recognized, but the fact that there are thousands of Ethiopians living and thriving in Somaliland may become the sacrificial lamb; in addition Ethiopian airlines has a good business going on Somaliland that can be lost in the shuffle, in addition, Somalilanders buy a great deal veggies and fruits as well as khat, that maybe switched to Kenya.

    • @ethiopianlogisticianscommunity
      @ethiopianlogisticianscommunity  20 днів тому

      While it's true that Ethiopia and Somaliland have mutually beneficial ties, the idea that Somaliland could severely disrupt its relationship with Ethiopia over a single MoU reneging is overstated. Thousands of Ethiopians live and thrive in Somaliland, but their presence is part of a long-standing relationship that transcends any single agreement. Such decisions are rarely taken without considering their broader implications for trade, stability, and diplomacy. Regarding Ethiopian Airlines, its operations in Somaliland are part of a strategic network that benefits both sides, providing essential connectivity for Somaliland and a steady market for Ethiopia. Somaliland would risk isolating itself if it disrupted these operations, as few airlines operate in the region at the same capacity.
      Similarly, while Somalilanders purchase Ethiopian fruits, vegetables, and khat, these products are highly competitive in quality and price, making a complete shift to Kenyan suppliers unlikely. Ethiopia has significant logistical advantages over Kenya in supplying Somaliland due to geographic proximity. In essence, both parties have a vested interest in maintaining their relationship, and unilateral disruptions would hurt Somaliland more than Ethiopia. Ethiopia remains committed to fostering cooperation with Somaliland, but such matters must be addressed pragmatically and with mutual respect.

    demand the acquisition of sea port from its neighbours. The obstinate position of Mogadisho towards Somaliland statehood brought about the
    MOU and subsequently Mogadisho to surrender in Ankara, Turkey. Ethiopia and its mouth-pieces should realise that without Recognition there will

    The speaker is clearly mouthpiece of Ethiopia and in trying to analyse the MOU fell short of saying the truth about the substantive basis upon which
    President Muse Bihi signed MOU with Prime Minister Aby Ahmed. The two fundamental elements of the MOU were (1) that Ethiopia to declare Diplomatic
    Recognition of Somaliland and (2) that Ethiopia will have lease of 50 years an outlet to Sea to set up Navy Base. The accredition of full Ethiopian
    Ambassador to Somaliland (as first step) which took place immediately after signing of MOU is irrefutable proof that the exchange was Recognition for a Naval Base. Both Somaliland and Ethiopia have the right to allow the MOU lapse but the speaker is misinterpreting and in fact lying about the objectives written into MOU.

    to Sea. So your analysis contradicts the pragmatic policy of the Ethiopian leadership to procure seacport by negotiation or by other means to
    to rephrase the words uttered by Aby Ahmed. What is also shocking in your so-called reply is that you grant double standard to a Superpower to do what
    it likes in Panama and to deny to Ethiopia to negotiate with Somaliland on the basis of exchange of vital sea outlet with Recognition of Somaliland.
    Your pretentious and contradictory analysis and related reply have no relevance in the matter of Somaliland pursuit of international recognition and
