MPs from Northern Kenya have warned that a pact between Somalia’s breakaway region of Somaliland and Ethiopia allowing Addis Ababa to use a major port with access to the Red Sea will have a spillover effect on Kenya should a conflict ensue.
The leaders whose constituencies border Somalia warned that tension is already brewing in the Horn of Africa following the signing of the controversial agreement between Somaliland and Ethiopia to lease a 20-kilometre stretch of sea port access to Ethiopian naval forces for 50 years in exchange for international recognition.
