MOGADISHU (Somaliguardian) – The advisor of Somalia’s President on drought relief Abdirahman Abdishakur said on Monday recent threats by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed that his government would attempt to acquire a seaport in the Red Sea by force should be taken seriously.

“Repeated comments from Ethiopian government officials on their demands to acquire a port in the Red Sea cannot be ignored,” Abdishakur said in a post on Facebook.

The official called for increased vigilance by Somali government over the Ethiopian ambition towards a possible annexation of port towns in northern Somalia.
