Somalia Accuses Ethiopian Troops of Illegal Border Crossings and ConfrontationsNEW YORK, USA - Somalia's ambassador to the United Nations, Abukar Baalle, has accused Ethiopian troops of making illegal incursions across their shared border. The accusations have led to confrontations with local security forces and have escalated tensions between the two neighboring countries. "In past weeks, Non-ATMIS Ethiopian troops crossed the border into Somalia from different locations and engaged in a confrontation with Somali security forces," said Baalle speaking at a UNSC meeting on Monday. The Somali ambassador's allegations raise concerns about the conduct of Ethiopian troops and the potential for further escalations in the region. The accusations of illegal border crossings and confrontations with local security forces by Ethiopian troops could strain the relationship between the two countries.
