'Somalia Will Not Accept Ethiopia Maritime Deal With Somaliland'

The deal which allows Ethiopia to construct a port in Somaliland has worsened relations with neighboring Somalia, which still claims the breakaway republic. Somalia Foreign Minister Ali Omar Balad has said they expected to build better relations with Ethiopia after years of disputes "but the agreement dashed all hopes". He said several international regulations govern how a landlocked country accesses the sea, urging the Ethiopian government to follow these regulations.
