The Republic of Somaliland has said that Somalia can only give Ethiopia the lands within the border that it controls, but it has no rights whatsoever over the shorelines within the territory of Somaliland.

The statement was vividly underpinned by the Minister of Information, Culture and National Guidance Hon. Ali Mohamed Hassan popularly known as Ali Marehaan who accused Somalia of wanting to play in a role that does not concern it at all and take over the Somaliland-Ethiopia MoU on the maritime agreement.

“It is known that the Republic of Somaliland is not Somalia; whatever agreements Somalia has entered has never been effective nor implemented in Somaliland”, said the minister as he spoke to the BBC Somali service.

The minister went on to say, “This issue is a testimony to what we have been saying that all Mogadishu ever wanted was to take part in signing the agreement”.
