IGAD said it was diligently monitoring the situation and recognizes the potential implications for regional stability but rejects the blackmail agreement signed between Ethiopia and Hargeisa administration.

In a statement last night, the European Union (EU) said, “it would like to remind the importance of respecting the unity, the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia pursuant of its constitution, the Charters of the African Union and the United Nations. This is key for the peace and stability of the entire Horn of Africa region.”
