The newly appointed US Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa, Mike Hammer has condemned Ethiopia’s incursion into Somalia earlier this week, saying Somalia’s sovereignty should be respected.
On the other hand, Somalia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs has stated that Somalia will be sending weapons and supplies to rebels in Ethiopia fighting the Ethiopian government.
Earlier this week Ethiopian forces crossed Somalia’s border and captured airports in the south of the country to prevent the further increase of Egyptian forces in Somalia.
Egyptian military officers have arrived in Somalia earlier this month as Egypt and Ethiopia clash over Ethiopia’s Grand Renaissance Dam. The arrival of Egyptian military officers in Somalia coincided with clashes by Ethiopian rebels against the Ethiopian government in the north of the country.
