Residents in major towns of Somaliland, including Burco and Borama in the northern regions, have taken to the streets to denounce the recently signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Ethiopia and Somaliland. The protests, marked by singing the National Anthem and chanting slogans like “Our sea is not for sale,” reflect widespread discontent among the Somali population.<\/p>\n
In Borama, the capital of Awdal province, large protests unfolded against what many deem an unlawful Sea Access Deal With Ethiopia. The agreement, signed on December 1 by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Somaliland President Muse Bihi Abdi in Addis Ababa, has triggered concerns about increased tensions and potential instability in the Horn of Africa region.<\/p>\n
The controversial sea deal involves Somaliland leasing naval and commercial sea access to Ethiopia for 50 years in exchange for recognition. Yesterday, Burco witnessed protests against the Ethiopian Government’s perceived aggression, followed by Borame today, underscoring the people’s commitment to defending their country’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independence.<\/p>\n
The demonstrations highlight the Somali population’s resolve in resisting encroachment and protecting their national interests. The chants and protests signal a united front against what is seen as an infringement on Somalia’s sovereignty and a clear message to the international community about the importance of respecting the will of the Somali people.<\/p>\n
