In a press conference held in Addis Ababa today, he said that some Somali leaders are actively working to increase the conflict, especially by undermining the contribution of Ethiopian soldiers who have been working to maintain peace in Somalia for ten years. years.
“Ethiopia has made sacrifices in peacekeeping efforts in Somalia. However, some Somali officials seem to be focusing their talk on reducing those efforts instead of finding effective solutions.” said Taye.
