MOGADISHU (Somaliguardian) – The United States on Wednesday expressed concern about escalating tensions in the Horn of Africa over a recent pact Ethiopia signed with Somaliland, which grants Addis Ababa access to a 20 kilometer leased land along the Red Sea.
“We join other partners in expressing our serious concern as well about the resulting spike in tensions in the Horn of Africa,” US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters.
“We urge all stakeholders to engage in diplomatic dialogue and the United States recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia within its 1960 borders.”
