Ethiopia TV: Hassan Sheikh's "ties" with TPLF affecting Somalia's relations with EthiopiaADDIS ABABA - The ties between Somalia's President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud with Addis Ababa could be a thorn in the flesh, Ethiopia's state Television ETV claims. ETV said There are uncertainties that certain members of Hassan SHeikh Mohamud's Govt may derail early efforts to improve relations between Somalia and Ethiopia. The TPLF, the ETV claims, is using strong ties with Hassan Sheikh, especially people in Somalia's government to frustrate the revamping of ties between the two countries. Before Al-Shabaab's attack on Ethiopia, there were plans by President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud to visit Ethiopia, but the move seems to have been aborted. There is pressure from different quarters to have Hassan Sheikh choose sides; whether to stand with Addis Ababa or TPLF.
