The Italian Institute for International Political Studies published on 30 January 2024 an analysis titled "On the Edge: The Ethiopia-Somaliland MOU" by Aleksi Ylonen.
This is an analysis from the perspective of an Italian think tank of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Ethiopia and Somaliland. The MOU says Ethiopia will consider recognition of Somaliland in exchange for port access and a 50-year lease of land for a military base on Somaliland's Gulf of Aden coast.
