Berbera, the main seaport of Somaliland, is set to handle 90% of Ethiopia’s imports and exports once the MOU is in effect. The MOU’s implementation has accelerated after two mediation attempts between Ethiopia and Somalia failed. President Mohamud was briefed about this obstacle when he met Guelleh in Djibouti on Wednesday.
