Is the new #UAE-backed #Berbera-#Ethiopia rail line a steel salvation or a sovereign distraction for #Ethiopia? While promising trade benefits, it shouldn't overshadow Ethiopia's ultimate need for direct, sovereign maritime access. #Somaliland #Geopolitics

SaxafiMedia · The Iron Lifeline And The Distant Sea: Steel Salvation Or Sovereign Distraction? | Saxafi Media[⚠️ Suspicious Content] The ink is barely dry on the $3 billion pact, and the promise already goes like distant locomotive spark. The United Arab Emirates, wielding its book like a modern-day vizier, has pledged to forge a steel artery from the sun-baked shores of Berbera in Somaliland deep into the heart of Ethiopia. This isn’t a railway; it’s a geopolitical lifeline cast across the Horn of Africa, promising to reshape trade, shatter Djibouti’s near monopoly, and crown Berbera as the Red Sea’s newest commercial prince.

SaxafiMedia · Washington's Horn Of Africa Strategy: Somaliland Recognition For Military AccessAmid the rapidly shifting geopolitical dynamics in the Horn of Africa, Somaliland is emerging as a political actor striving to redefine its position on the international stage. This comes as American Republican elites show growing interest in the region and engage in discussions over the possibility of recognition in exchange for strategic advantages. These developments are unfolding within a broader context of global power competition, as Washington seeks to bolster its influence in a vital region overlooking key maritime corridors and bordering Chinese influence in Djibouti. In this context, a reciprocal scenario appears to be taking shape—one in which the United States could secure a military foothold at the Port of Berbera in exchange for diplomatic support for Somaliland. Such a move could mark a turning point in Somaliland’s pursuit of international recognition.

#Somalia signs deal with #Turkey over oil, natural gas

Once again, Somalia managed to turn crisis into opportunity. #Ethiopia has been forcefully seeking access to the #RedSea port of #Berbera and a naval base in #Awdal against recognition of #Somaliland, which is extremely unlikely to ever materialize. Meanwhile, Somalia has seized the opportunity to press her advantage against Somaliland and enlist Turkey's support to retake control of her #EEZ (medium.com/@mathieu.gotteland/).
