Ethiopia's Abiy

MOGADISHU (Somaliguardian) – Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said on Thursday that lavish foreign trips by Somalia’s leaders to win an international support in efforts to pressure Addis Ababa to walk back a memorandum of understanding signed with Somaliland will not deter its commitment to gain access to the sea. 

In a speech to parliament, Abiy stated that he has no “fight with” the Somali government and that he does not want the disintegration of Somalia.  

“My advice is don’t waste money; we  spend money when we go around countries,” he said. “There is no need to go around other countries to accuse us when it is possible to come to us in Addis Abeba. We are ready for a discussion,” he added.
