Somalia Weighs Indian Ocean Port Access for Neighboring Ethiopia

Somalia may grant landlocked Ethiopia access to a port on the Indian Ocean, a step that may help end a dispute between the neighboring nations over Addis Ababa’s quest to have a direct trade route to the sea.

The two nations are holding talks and aim to reach a framework agreement by June, Somalia’s state minister for foreign affairs, Ali Mohamed Omar, said in an interview on Thursday with closely held Universal TV.
