Somalia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation on Monday accused Ethiopian troops of launching what it called “Blatant aggression” in Doolow.

It came at a time when the Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister of Somalia is in Ethiopia for what appears to be a follow up meeting over the Ankara Declaration which was meant to end hostility between the two neighborly countries. Three military bases of the Somalia government troops are reportedly attacked.

In a statement the Ministry released on Monday, It alleges “At approximately 10:00 AM this morning, Ethiopian forces launched an unprovoked and unexpected attack on positions stationed by the Somali National Army (SNA) in Doolow, located in the Gedo region.” The area is a border between the two countries.

Ethiopia has not immediately remarked on the alleged attack on Somali Forces in
Doolow.

Somalia and Egypt signed a military pact this August. There was a report of a bilateral arrangement to deploy 5,000 Egyptian troops to Somalia. Egypt has also expressed interest to deploy additional 5000 troops as part of AUSSOM peace keeping force. Mogadishu’s decision to allow Egyptian forces to deploy has angered Ethiopia. It is seen as a national security concern as Egypt and Ethiopia have been involved in hostilities over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). Jubaland and Puntland, members of the Federal government of Somalia, have opposed the arrangement for the presence of Egyptian troops in Somalia.

The foreign ministers of the two countries (Egypt and Somalia) have reached, as reported by Ahram which cited the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Egypt, an agreement on strategic partnership in the areas of politics, economy, trade, security, military, culture, education, and capacity-building.

Somalia’s claim of Ethiopian troops attack in Doolow is not independently verified
