REUTERS/Feisal Omar/File Photo 2/3By Giulia ParaviciniNAIROBI (Reuters) - Ethiopia's deal to lease a port in Somalia's breakaway region of Somaliland has infuriated the government in Mogadishu and prompted concern it will further destabilise the Horn of Africa region. Somalia has responded by calling the deal an act of agression and says it will block it. So far, no country has publicly backed the port deal. Eritrea has not commented on the deal but its President Isaias Afwerki invited Somalia's Mohamud to Asmara shortly after it was was announced.
