The European Union on Tuesday insisted Somalia's sovereignty should be respected after Ethiopia signed a controversial deal with breakaway Somaliland.
The memorandum of understanding signed by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Somaliland leader Muse Bihi Abdi on Monday gives Ethiopia access to the Red Sea port of Berbera and a leased military base.
The EU said in a statement that it "would like to remind the importance of respecting the unity, the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia pursuant of its constitution, the Charters of the African Union and the United Nations."
"This is key for the peace and stability of the entire Horn of Africa region," the statement from an EU spokesperson said.
