Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has made it clear to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed that Ethiopia will not benefit from recognizing Somaliland, during an official visit to Addis Ababa.<\/p>\n

Erdogan noted that the issue of Somaliland\u2019s recognition is not in Ethiopia\u2019s interest, and that Turkey prioritizes preserving the unity and solidarity of Somalia.<\/p>\n

The Turkish president also reiterated his country\u2019s stance against Israel\u2019s recognition of Somaliland.<\/p>\n

He said such recognition \u201cis not in the interest of Somaliland and the Horn of Africa as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n

This comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced last December that he had recognized Somaliland as an independent state separate from the rest of Somalia.<\/p>\n

The news comes amid reports that Somaliland and Ethiopia are working on a new agreement that could allow Ethiopia to officially recognize Somaliland in the near future.<\/p>\n

Erdogan’s visit to Ethiopia highlights Turkey’s growing role in the Horn of Africa, especially in matters related to Somalia and Ankara’s strategic relationship with Mogadishu.<\/p>\n
