US backs Somalia’s sovereignty against Ethiopia’s blatant aggressive land grab

Mogadishu, SONNA – The US has voiced its support for Somalia’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and unity, in the face of the unlawful pact signed between Ethiopia and Somaliland region of Somalia.

The US has expressed its opposition to the pact and its backing for Somalia’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and unity.

“We’re certainly troubled,” said John Kirby, director of strategic communications for the National Security Council, in a press conference. “As we’ve said many, many times, we support Somalia’s sovereignty, their territorial integrity, and it’s got to be respected.”

Kirby also said that the pact poses a risk to the security situation in the Horn of Africa, where Somalia is combating the terrorist group al-Shabab, which has ties to al-Qaeda and has carried out deadly attacks in Somalia and neighboring countries.

“What we’re particularly concerned about is this [Memorandum of Understanding] inked recently between Ethiopia and Somaliland threatens to disrupt the fight that Somalis, Africans and regional international partners, including us, are waging against al-Shabab,” he said.

Kirby said the US is working with its partners in the region and the international community to address the issue and to support the Somali government in its efforts to protect its sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity.
