Somalia and Ethiopia restore diplomatic ties after President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud visits Addis Ababa

Somalia and Ethiopia are set to restore full diplomatic relations after a visit by Somalia's President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud to Addis Ababa, as efforts intensify to heal a year-long rift that threatened further instability in the Horn of Africa.

Somalia and Ethiopia have restored diplomatic relations following a visit by Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud to Addis Ababa, marking a significant step towards reconciliation after years of strained relations. The visit, which was the first by a Somali president to Ethiopia in over a decade, included discussions on enhancing cooperation in security, trade, and regional stability. Both leaders expressed their commitment to fostering peace and economic development, with Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed emphasizing the importance of regional integration. This diplomatic breakthrough is seen as a move to counterbalance the influence of other regional powers and address mutual security concerns, particularly related to terrorism and border disputes. The restoration of ties is expected to facilitate better collaboration in fighting al-Shabaab militants and could lead to increased economic partnerships.
