In a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said the bill was an “illustration of our commitment to safeguard our unity, sovereignty & territorial integrity as per international law”. Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 amid a civil war in the country’s south and has operated autonomously since. Hargeisa, Somaliland’s capital, claims the borders of the former British protectorate of Somaliland in northern Somalia. The spokesperson for Turkey’s foreign ministry also expressed its support for the “unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity” of Somalia. The deal has divided public opinion across Somalia and Somaliland, sparking several demonstrations and counter-demonstrations against the handover of territory to Ethiopia, with which Somalia has a history of conflict.

Boeing faces new scrutiny about the safety of its best-selling plane after federal officials announced the temporary grounding of some Boeing 737 Max planes on Saturday, following a harrowing flight in which an Alaska Airlines jetliner was left with a gaping hole in its side. On Friday, a fuselage panel blew out on an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9 seven minutes after takeoff from Portland, Oregon. Alaska plugs those doors because its 737 Max 9 jets don't have enough seats to trigger the requirement for another emergency exit. A Max 8 jet operated by Lion Air crashed in Indonesia in 2018, and an Ethiopian Airlines Max 8 crashed in 2019. However, that incident involved an earlier version of the Boeing 737, not a Max.

Fasil Kenema and Ethiopia Coffee, two powerhouse teams, earned big wins on Friday to bring themselves back into contention in the Ethiopia Premier League title race. A brace each by Getaneh Kebede for Fasil and Mesfin Tafesse for Ethiopia Coffee was what Fasil Kenema needed to inspire a 3-0 win over Dire Dawa City, as Ethiopia Coffee beat Hawassa City 2-1. Fasil and Dire Dawa played a competitive first half that had everything except for goals, going into the break tied at 0-0. Mesfin Tafesse converted a 44th-minute penalty to give Ethiopia Coffee a 1-0 lead going into halftime. Mesfin Tafesse completed his brace in the 62nd minute, a goal that was enough to give Coffee the three points.

Attendees included representatives from the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and UK historical heritage scholars, among others. The looting of cultural treasures has remained a contentious issue between Ethiopia and institutions holding them in foreign lands. The return of the Holy Tabot tablet of ‘Medhane’Alem,’ a religious artefact central to Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, is particularly poignant. Countless African artefacts remain displaced, raising questions about the need for further repatriation efforts. Across the globe, museums house a wealth of African cultural treasures that were acquired through various means, often controversially.

Ethiopia’s economy has struggled with no sea access, and an agreement to use a Somaliland port has upset its neighbour.
