Somalia and Ethiopia Restore Diplomatic Ties After Turkey-Brokered Deal
Jan 11, 2025, 01:53 PM
Somalia and Ethiopia have agreed to restore and enhance their bilateral relations through full diplomatic representation in their respective capitals. This decision follows a visit by Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud to Addis Ababa at the invitation of Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.

The agreement builds on a peace deal brokered by Turkey last month, which aimed to resolve the dispute and facilitate technical negotiations between the two nations.
