Despite protests from Somalia’s government in Mogadishu, sources in Hargeisa say the MOU’s implementation could lead to Addis Ababa’s full recognition of Somaliland. A technical committee, assigned by Somaliland President Muse Bihi Abdi to analyze the MOU, conduct public outreach, and make final recommendations, has completed its report. 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.

Trump is already appealing the outcome of the civil fraud case to an intermediate appellate court, with the appeal due to be filed next month.
