Reliable sources obtained by RNN Somali TV confirm that the Ankara agreement between the Federal Government of Somalia and Ethiopia has collapsed. This development comes just two days after the Somali government signed a strategic agreement with Egypt, which has significantly escalated diplomatic tensions in the region.
Sources reveal that Ethiopia is now pursuing a new strategy — bypassing the Federal Government and seeking direct agreements with federal member states, particularly those with whom it maintains close ties. If this move materializes, it would represent a serious violation of Somalia’s national sovereignty and undermine constitutional principles regarding foreign policy.
The situation raises a critical political question: What is President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s strategy if Ethiopia proceeds to sign maritime or security agreements with federal member states — an action that directly violates Somalia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty?
This unfolding scenario demands vigilance, political unity, and a clear response from the federal leadership, especially as foreign actors attempt to fragment the country’s position through separate regional deals.
RNN Somali TV is closely monitoring the situation and will release a full official report as more details emerge.
