Demonstrators gathered in large numbers
Demonstrators gathered in large numbers in Mogadishu, Somalia, Thursday against a deal between Ethiopia and the breakaway state of Somaliland during a protest organized by the government.
"Our territorial waters are not for sale," said Mogadishu resident Sakariye Yusuf Sayyid said.
On Tuesday, the government of Somalia vowed to defend its territory after the “historic” deal between Ethiopia and Somaliland, which it has branded as an "aggression."
Ethiopia has said it has held talks on military cooperation with Somaliland, just days after a deal with the breakaway Somali region on sea access stoked tensions in the Horn of Africa.
The controversial memorandum of understanding, MOU, signed by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Somaliland leader Muse Bihi Abdi gives Ethiopia access to the Red Sea port of Berbera and a leased military base.
Abdi said in a statement that in return, Ethiopia would formally recognize Somaliland, something that Addis Ababa has not confirmed.
