Somalia orders the referral of the Ethiopia ambassador

Somalia has made the decision to expel the Ethiopia ambassador and close two Ethiopian consulates on its territory. For good reason, Somalia accuses them of interference in its internal affairs.

Somalia announced on April 4, 2024 the expulsion of the Ethiopia ambassador and the closure of two Ethiopian consulates on its territory, due to what it describes as“Interference in his internal affairs”.

In its official press release, the Somali government notably asked the Ethiopian ambassador to Somalia to return to his country for “Consultations”. This decision comes after months of tensions between the two countries, especially due to territorial disputes and political differences.

Ethiopia, for its part, has not yet officially reacted to this decision, but this climbing of tensions raises concerns about the impact on regional stability. The Horn of Africa is already confronted with several crises, including the unstable political situation in Ethiopia and the current conflict in the Tiger.
