Another Look at the Ethiopia-Somaliland MOU

 The Nanyang Technological University in Singapore published on 27 June 2024 an analysis titled "Ethiopia's Red Sea Gambit: A Landlocked Nation in Search of an Alternative Port" by Johan Burger.  

The author reviews Ethiopia's current standing in the Horn of Africa and the impact of its memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Somaliland to establish a port and naval base there.  He concludes implementation of the MOU could destabilize the region.
