Ethiopia to mend relations with neighbor
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali has arrived in Somalia for an official visit aimed at normalizing ties and strengthening bilateral cooperation in several areas, including security and the economy, the two East African countries announced on Thursday. The trip comes after Abiy and Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud agreed last month to restore diplomatic relations following a year-long standoff over a Red Sea access agreement. According to a joint statement published by the Ethiopian Foreign Affairs Ministry, the two leaders have 'reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening cooperation for mutual benefit.' 'Recognizing the deep historical ties between their peoples and the shared border that connects them, they emphasized the importance of building trust through enhanced diplomatic, economic, and social cooperation,' it stated. Addis Ababa and Mogadishu became locked in a diplomatic conflict in January last year after Ethiopia signed a preliminary agreement with Somalia's breakaway region, Somaliland, to lease coastline for commercial purposes and to build a naval base, allegedly in exchange for recognition of the territory's independence. Somalia, which considers Somaliland its own territory despite the province declaring independence in 1991, deemed the deal illegal and accused Ethiopia of aggression. Mogadishu expelled Ethiopia's ambassador, ordered the closure of two consulates, and recalled its representative in Addis Ababa in response. Relations between the two Horn of Africa states have improved in recent months, following talks mediated by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in December. During the Ankara negotiations, Abiy and Mohamud committed to hold technical discussions to reach an agreement that would safeguard Somalia's territorial integrity and also grant Ethiopia access to the sea. On January 11, the Somali president visited Addis Ababa and met with the Ethiopian prime minister, after which they jointly announced their decision to speed up negotiations. 'The two leaders welcomed the commencement of the technical talks in Ankara… underscoring their commitment to constructive dialogue and cooperation,' according to the joint statement announcing Abiy's working visit on Thursday. 'Both leaders expressed their commitment to implementing strategic infrastructure projects to ensure sustainable development, economic integration and strengthen people-to-people ties,' it added.

UAE pledges $200 million in aid to Sudan
The United Arab Emirates has reaffirmed its strong commitment to alleviating the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, leading a pivotal "High-Level Humanitarian Conference for the People of Sudan" in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on February 14, 2025. At the conference, the UAE announced an additional $200 million in humanitarian aid to Sudan, bringing its total contribution to $600.4 million since the outbreak of the conflict. This landmark event, organised by the UAE, Ethiopia, the African Union (AU), and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), was attended by key global leaders, including Dr. Abiy Ahmed Ali, Prime Minister of Ethiopia; Dr. William Samoei Ruto, President of Kenya; António Guterres, UN Secretary-General; and Moussa Faki Mahamat, AU Commission Chairperson. H.H. Sheikh Shakhboot bin Nahyan Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of State, emphasised the importance of humanitarian access, stating that no entity should prevent lifesaving aid from reaching those in need. "We urge the warring parties to implement a humanitarian ceasefire to allow for safe and unhindered aid, especially for the most vulnerable, including women, children, and the elderly," he said. The conference aimed to mobilise both regional and global support to address Sudan's devastating humanitarian crisis, while calling for a humanitarian ceasefire during the holy month of Ramadan. The UAE's call for a humanitarian pause received widespread backing, with multiple nations joining in the plea for an end to the ongoing conflict.
