The Voice of America published on 4 October 2024 an article titled "Somalia-Ethiopia Tensions Escalate: UN Urges Diplomatic Resolution" by Mohamed Olad Hassan.
Somalia is firmly against having Ethiopian troops as part of the new African Union Support Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) as tension between the two countries escalates in the aftermath of Ethiopia's MOU with Somaliland. The United Nations urged that Somalia and Ethiopia resolve their differences through diplomacy as the AU mission is being established.
