Somalia is pushing for neighboring Ethiopia to be excluded from the next peacekeeping force in the country. The move comes as tensions rise between the two nations over border disputes and allegations of interference in Somalia’s internal affairs.
Despite being a key contributor to the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), Ethiopia has faced criticism for its perceived support of the Somali federal government and its role in the ongoing conflict in the region. Somalia is now calling for a more neutral and impartial force to be deployed in the country, in order to promote genuine peace and stability.
The current situation in Somalia is further complicated by the presence of various armed groups and terrorist organizations, such as Al-Shabaab, which continue to pose a significant threat to the country’s security and stability. The Somali government is seeking to consolidate its control and authority over the entire nation, and believes that the presence of Ethiopian forces could hinder these efforts.
As Somalia navigates its path towards peace and stability, the exclusion of Ethiopia from the next peacekeeping force may be a crucial step in ensuring a more impartial and effective peacekeeping mission in the country. It remains to be seen how this decision will impact the ongoing conflict in Somalia and the broader region.
