エチオピアとソマリランドが接近したらエリトリアとソマリア連邦政府が接近して

　そんなこんなでエチオピアはソマリランドと仲良くし、海へのアクセスを手に入れる見込み。このたび、軍のトップが会談してアピール。

「The army chiefs of landlocked Ethiopia and the self-declared Republic of Somaliland have been discussing military co-operation as concern grows over a deal that could give Ethiopia a naval base on the Gulf of Aden.

The two sides signed a deal on 1 January to give Ethiopia commercial and military access to the sea.

Somalia called it an act of aggression.

It considers Somaliland as part of its territory and has vowed to defend its sovereignty.

Somaliland, a former British protectorate, seceded from Somalia in 1991 but is not internationally recognised as an independent state.」

　AUと米国とは沈静化の試み。他方ソマリアと連携するのはエジプトとトルコ。…大国ですね。

「The African Union and the US have both moved to try and calm tensions.

Somalia's allies, including Egypt and Turkey, have pledged their support for Somalia.」

「As the military men from Ethiopia and Somaliland were meeting in Addis Ababa, Mr Mohamud was in Eritrea holding talks with his counterpart in Asmara, Isaias Afwerki.」

　一方、ソマリアの大統領はエリトリアにいってアフェウェルキと会談だと。おい。ガチめか。まあそりゃあそうか。しかしなあ、エリトリアはイスラム法廷連合の有力者が亡命していた、ソマリア連邦政府からすれば敵対勢力に属するものだろうに。
