Ethiopia has pledged to recognize Somaliland in exchange for access to the Red Sea. The government of Somalia has called the deal a "violation" of its sovereignty.
Somaliland is a country completely separate from Somalia. It’s just not internationally recognized. Somalia still claims it but that’s just a formality.
Can they do that?
Of course they can. Somalia literally has no authority there.
I mean Somalia. It seems like they have no power in Somaliland and wouldn’t be able to project power.
