Somalia, Ethiopia restore diplomatic relations, end year-long rift that destabilised Horn of Africa

Somalia and Ethiopia announced on January 11 that they would restore full diplomatic relations, ending a year-long rift that destabilized the Horn of Africa.
The agreement was reached during Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's visit to Ethiopia, where he and Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed pledged to enhance bilateral relations.
The rift began when Ethiopia signed a deal with Somaliland, leading to Somalia expelling Ethiopia's ambassador and severing ties last April.
Despite the agreement, key questions remain about Ethiopia's access to the sea and ongoing regional tensions involving Egypt and Eritrea.
