MP Mohamed Rambo reaffirms Somaliland’s commitment to effectuate the sea access deal with Ethiopia despite external pressure
Somaliland is not just dedicated but unwavering in its commitment to implement the sea access deal it entered with Ethiopia recently, reiterated Mohamed Hussien Jama Rambo, member of the Somaliland House of Parliament.
In an exclusive interview with The Ethiopian Herald, the MP slammed external intervention while vowing that Hargeisa will not bow down to any pressures.
“We are accustomed to pressure from entities that do not appreciate our development. Yet, we resist these pressures, demonstrating our resilience. We honor agreements. Somaliland will not bow down to any pressure.”
Commenting on the statements of some entities like the Arab League, he said that the agreement between Somaliland and Ethiopia does not concern the Arab League, and they should not waste their time on such issues.
Previously, Somalia objected to Somaliland’s deals with DP World and the U.S., but the objection did not work. It did not impact how these deals were implemented, he added.
Speaking of the Somaliland public’s reaction, he said Somaliland people are happy with the agreement. They welcomed it and expressed joy. Somalilanders are ready for business and committed to closely engaging with their neighbors to ensure integration. That is enshrined in the constitution.
