Why Ethiopia’s Bid for Red Sea Access Angers Somalia

Ethiopia has been landlocked since 1993. That’s when Eritrea gained independence after a three-decade war, leaving Ethiopia reliant on its neighbors’ ports. In 2023, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed identified regaining ocean access as a strategic objective and warned that failure to secure it could lead to conflict.

Somalia expelled the Ethiopian ambassador and shut down its neighbor’s consulates, recalled its own envoy from Addis Ababa, and threatened to censure businesses that treat Somaliland as an independent nation. A memorandum of understanding envisions Ethiopia g...
