#Meanwhile, #China keeps salivating over the prospects of an #Ethiopian #NavalBase on the #GulfOfAden because it dovetails so nicely with its audacious #BeltAndRoadInitiative (#BRI)

#Somaliland said it will press ahead with an agreement with landlocked #Ethiopia to give it access to the sea

The deal has been condemned by regional & intl groups as well as West, as it interferes with #Somalia’s territorial integrity. Tensions could threaten stability in #HornOfAfrica
