Sida ay sheegayaan wararka soo baxaya, madaxa sirdoonka dalka Masar iyo wasiirka Arimada Dibadda ee dalkaas ayaa waxay gaaraan magaalada Asmara ee caasimadda dalka Eritrea, iyaga oo sida la sheegay garsiiyay madaxayne Afwerki farriin ay uga sideen dhiggiisa Masar Cabdifitaax Asisi. Madaxa sirdoonka dalka Masar, Abbas Kamel iyo wasiirka Arimaha Dibadda Badr Abdellati ayaa waxay madaxweynaha Eritrea gaarsiiyeen fariin ku saabsan xaalka haatan ee amniga iyo sidaasadda ee uu ku sugan yahay gobolku iyo sidoo kale in ay xoojoiyaan labada dowladood xiriirka ka dhaxeeya. Dhanka Masar, sida iyagu ay ku sheegeen war ay ka soo saareen booqashada saraakiishaan sare Asmara, ujeedka ayaa waxa uu ahaa in ay kala hadlaan madaxweynaha Eritrea arimo ku saabsan waxa ka dhacaya badda cas iyo ammaanka iyo xasiloonida Geeska Afrika. Wasiirka Warfaafinta ee Eritrea, Mane Gebrekres ayaa waxa uu qoraal uu ku soo daabacay boggiisa X ku sheegay, in masuuliyiinta ka socday Masar ay kulan la qaateen madaxweyne Afwerki, ayna yeesheen wadahadlo dhinacyo badan taabanayay oo laba geesood ahaa iyo sidoo kale in ay ka wada hadleen arrimo gudaha dalkaas ku saabsan. Sidoo kale wasiirka warfaafinta ayaa waxa uu intaas raaciyay in labada dhinac ay “ka wada hadleen arrimo ay si wada jir ah walaac uga muujiyeen oo quseeya xaalka haatan iyo dhacdooyinka ka socda Sudan, Soomaaliya iyo Bad Cas”. Warka ay soo saartay Masar ayaa waxa lagu sheegay in madaxweynaha Eritrea uu u sharraxay wafdiga xaalka haatan ka taagan Geeska Afrika iyo caqabadaha uu wajahayo gobolku, iyo sidoo kale sidii loo xoojin lahaa amniga iyo xasiloonida gobolka. Waxa ay sheegeen in labada dhinac ay ku heshiiyeen in ay muhiim tahay in ay xoojiyaan iskaashigooda in laga shaqeeyo xasiloonida Sudan iyo si guud loo ilaaliyo madax banaanida dhuleed iyo xornimada Soomaaliya. Booqashada ay ku tageen Eritrea saraakiisha sare ee ka socota sirdoonka wasaaradda Arimaha Dibadda Masar ayaa waxay ku soo aadeysaa xilli uu khilaaf ka dhex taagan yahay Soomaaliya iyo Itoobiya, sidoo kalana Masar ay qaaday talaabo ayku garab istaageyso Soomaaliya taas oo ah in ay ciidamo u soo dirto Soomaaliya, in kasta oo arrinkaas ay walaac ka muujisay dawladda Itoobiya. Sida la ogsoon yahay khilaafka ka taagan Geeska Afrika ayaa yimid ka dib markii uu dhacay saxeexa heshiiskii is-afgaradka ahaa ee u ogolaanaya Itoobiya in ay dhul badeed ka kiraysato gudaha Somaliland. Intaa ka dib, Masar waxay si rasmi ah u taageertay Soomaaliya iyadoo diidmo ka muujisay talaabada ay qaaday Itoobiya oo sannado badan ay ku muransanaayeen dhismaha biyo xidheenka wabiga Niil. Eritrea ayaa iyana garab istaagtay Soomaaliya iyada oo marar kale duwan marti galisay madaxweynaha Soomaaliya oo gaaray caasimadda dalkaas.

Itoobiya ayaa waxay aad uga soo horjeesatay talaabada ay qaaday Masar iyada oo ku tilmaantay mid faro galin ku ah xaalka amni ee gobolka, balse dawladda Soomaaliya ayaa iyana muujisay sida ay uga soo horjeedo warka ay soo saartay Itoobiya. Masuuliyiinta sare ee Masar ayaa waxay sheegeen sida ay u garab taagan yihiin Soomaaliya intii ay joogeen Masar, waxayna la wadaageen madaxweynaha dalka ay martida u ahaayeen fariimo uga yimid Sisi, madaxweynaha Masar.

Ankara (Caasimada Online) – The third phase of mediation talks between Somalia and Ethiopia, known as the Ankara Process, has been postponed indefinitely. Initially set to take place on September 17, the talks were deferred without an official explanation from either side. The mediation, which aims to address growing tensions between the two neighboring countries, was facilitated by Türkiye. Despite the delay, Türkiye remains committed to its role as a neutral mediator in the ongoing conflict between Somalia and Ethiopia. The Ankara Process was initiated earlier this year to facilitate dialogue between Somalia and Ethiopia, two nations grappling with long-standing conflicts. The mediation efforts are part of Türkiye’s broader foreign policy strategy in Africa, where it has sought to position itself as a key diplomatic player. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has personally invested in these efforts, engaging Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali and Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud in discussions to achieve a peaceful resolution. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali formally requested Türkiye’s assistance in mediating the conflict with Somalia in May. Shortly thereafter, Somalia also reached out to Türkiye for support. President Erdogan, in response, tasked Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan with leading the diplomatic efforts to address the escalating crisis. The first round of talks was held on July 1 in Ankara, where Ethiopian Foreign Minister Taye Atske Selassie and Somali Minister of Foreign Affairs Ahmed Moalim Fiqi met to discuss the way forward. The initial meeting concluded with both parties expressing a mutual commitment to peaceful dialogue. Postponement and speculation The second round of mediation talks was initially scheduled for September 2, but after high-level consultations, the date was pushed back to September 17. However, the talks have been postponed indefinitely, with no new date announced. While no official reason has been provided for the delay, some sources suggest that it may be related to the recent deployment of Egyptian troops to Somalia, adding another layer of complexity to the already fragile situation. There are also speculations that the postponement might be linked to recent statements by Somalia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ahmed Moalim Fiqi. During an interview with Universal TV on September 12, Fiqi hinted that Somalia might consider supporting rebel groups in Ethiopia if the Ethiopian government continues to pursue its agreement with Somaliland. His remarks have sparked concern about the potential for further escalation in the region. Somaliland agreement strains relations The current tensions between Somalia and Ethiopia revolve around the agreement signed between Ethiopia and the self-declared Republic of Somaliland in January 2024. Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 and has been seeking international recognition ever since. While Somaliland operates as an autonomous state, its independence has not been recognized by any country, including Somalia. Under the terms of the agreement, Ethiopia pledged to recognize Somaliland’s independence in exchange for leasing 20 kilometers of Somaliland’s coastline to be used as a naval base for the next 50 years. This deal has angered Somalia, which views it as infringing its sovereignty. From Somalia’s perspective, Somaliland remains part of its territory, and any agreements involving Somaliland must be made with the Somali government, not with a breakaway region. In response to the agreement, Fiqi warned that Somalia might take drastic measures if Ethiopia proceeds with the deal. “We have not reached that stage, but it’s a path open to us,” Fiqi said, hinting that Somalia could align itself with Ethiopian rebel groups if the situation escalates. He emphasized, however, that Somalia still hopes for a peaceful resolution, but the option to support rebels remains on the table if Ethiopia continues to infringe on Somalia’s territorial integrity. Rebel support: A possible turning point Fiqi’s comments about possibly supporting Ethiopian rebels have raised eyebrows across the region. When explicitly asked about Somalia’s potential to back the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), a group that fought a two-year war against Ethiopia until a ceasefire agreement was reached in November 2022, Fiqi responded cautiously. He acknowledged that the Somali government had discussed the matter. However, he noted that the collapse of Ethiopia is not in Somalia’s or the Horn of Africa’s interest. Despite this measured response, the possibility of Somalia supporting Ethiopian rebel factions remains a concern for regional stability. If Somalia were to take such a step, it could reignite internal conflicts within Ethiopia, further destabilizing the Horn of Africa. Ethiopia has responded harshly to Somalia’s veiled threats. Nebiyu Tedla, Ethiopia’s deputy permanent representative to the African Union and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, dismissed Fiqi’s remarks as inflammatory. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Nebiyu mocked Somalia’s government, suggesting that they are “al-Shabab agents posing as government officials” and accused them of stoking nationalism from a position of weakness. His comments underscore the deepening divide between the two countries despite years of cooperation in fighting the al-Shabab militant group and other regional challenges.

Mogadishu (Caasimada Online) – Somalia’s Foreign Minister Ahmed Moalim Fiqi warned that his government may consider supporting rebel groups in Ethiopia if the Ethiopian government proceeds with implementing a controversial agreement signed with Somaliland. The statement, made during an interview with Universal TV on September 12, marks a sharp escalation in tensions between the neighboring countries. Fiqi’s remarks indicate that Somalia could potentially reach out to armed groups fighting the Ethiopian regime if the current political situation worsens. “The option to have contacts with armed rebels in Ethiopia or those fighting against the Ethiopian regime is open to Somalia,” Fiqi stated. He added that although the situation has not yet reached a critical point, the Somali government is prepared to take action if Ethiopia continues its current course. “It’s a door open to us,” Fiqi said, though he expressed hope that a peaceful resolution could still be achieved. The escalating diplomatic dispute comes after Ethiopia signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Somaliland, a self-declared breakaway region seeking independence from Somalia since 1991. The agreement, signed on January 1, 2024, appears to grant Ethiopia significant geopolitical and military leverage in the Horn of Africa by leasing 20 kilometers of Somaliland’s coastline for naval use over the next 50 years. Potential ties with Tigrayan rebels In his interview, Fiqi addressed whether Somalia might collaborate with the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), a group that fought a bloody two-year war against Ethiopia’s federal government before a ceasefire was brokered in November 2022. When asked about the possibility of Somalia aligning with the TPLF, Fiqi was cautious but left the door open. “We discussed that,” Fiqi said, “but at this time, the collapse of Ethiopia is not in the interest of Somalia or the Horn of Africa region.” Nonetheless, Fiqi was clear that if Ethiopia continues to engage with Somaliland and supports the secessionist movement, Somalia might reconsider its position. “If they continue to support those opposing Somalia and the secessionist groups they have signed agreements with, it’s an option for us,” he said. Ethiopia reacts with scorn Ethiopia’s deputy permanent representative to the African Union and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, Nebiyu Tedla, sharply criticized Fiqi’s comments. In a post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Nebiyu described the Somali government’s rhetoric as irresponsible. “It’s comical to witness al-Shabab agents posing as government officials who are unable to function effectively outside of Banaadir (the Mogadishu area), babbling hollow nationalism,” Nebiyu wrote. Nebiyu warned that such comments could undo years of progress between the two nations. “Such will only undermine years of progress and lead Somalia into the pit,” he added. Ethiopia’s reaction underscores the longstanding tensions between the two countries, with a history of conflict dating back several decades. Despite periods of cooperation, including Ethiopia’s involvement in peacekeeping missions in Somalia, the two nations have often found themselves on opposite sides of regional disputes. Historical context: Wars and peace talks Tensions between Somalia and Ethiopia are rooted in a complex history of territorial disputes and proxy wars. The two nations fought two major wars in the late 20th century—first in the 1970s over the Ogaden region and then again in the 1980s, as both governments supported rebels against each other’s regimes. In 1988, Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre and Ethiopian President Mengistu Haile Mariam brokered a peace agreement. The two leaders agreed to cease hostilities and committed to stopping their support for each other’s insurgent movements. This détente, mediated by then-Djiboutian President Hassan Guled Aptidon, was a significant step toward stability in the Horn of Africa, but tensions have periodically resurfaced. Somalia’s concerns over Somaliland’s independence The current flashpoint between Ethiopia and Somalia centers on Somaliland, which has functioned as a de facto independent state since its declaration of independence in 1991. However, it has not gained international recognition, and Somalia continues to view the region as part of its sovereign territory. Ethiopia’s agreement with Somaliland, which would make it the first country to recognize Somaliland’s independence formally, has deeply alarmed Somalia. The naval base agreement is seen by Somalia as a direct threat to its territorial integrity, with many in Mogadishu fearing that such deals could embolden secessionist movements elsewhere in the country. Fiqi emphasized that Somalia considers this MOU an infringement on its sovereignty and warned that if Ethiopia continues to push for its implementation, the Somali government will take retaliatory measures. “It’s the correct thing to go there, to take that path to meet them, to support them, to stand by them [the rebels],” Fiqi said. However, he reiterated that this would only happen if Ethiopia persisted with its plans. Calls for diplomatic resolution As tensions mount, international players have stepped in to encourage dialogue. U.S. Special Envoy to the Horn of Africa, Mike Hammer, speaking in Addis Ababa, emphasized the need for cooperation between Somalia and Ethiopia. “Let me state unequivocally, the United States supports Somalia’s territorial sovereignty, integrity, and unity, and we have made that very clear,” Hammer said. Hammer urged both nations to avoid escalating the situation and instead focus on mutual interests, particularly the fight against al-Shabab, an Islamist militant group that has destabilized the region for over a decade. “There is no reason that these two countries should have difficulties that can’t be resolved through conversations,” he said. The U.S. envoy’s comments highlight the delicate balance needed to maintain peace in the Horn of Africa, a region with a fair share of conflict. For now, the situation remains fragile, with the potential for both diplomatic solutions and further escalation hanging in the balance.
