Ethiopia and Somalia agreed on Saturday to restore bilateral ties that were severed last year as they bickered over a controversial memorandum of agreement on the breakaway Somaliland.
The move came after Somalia President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud visited the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa on Saturday afternoon and held talks with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
