A second round of Turkish-mediated talks between Somalia and Ethiopia over a port deal Addis Ababa signed with the breakaway Somaliland region ended without a
deal on Tuesday, but Turkey and ministers from both countries sounded upbeat on progress.
The Ethiopian and Somali foreign ministers did not hold direct talks in Ankara, with Turkey’s foreign minister shuttling between them instead. Somali Foreign Minister Ahmed Moallim Fiqi Ahmed confirmed progress had been made and said the government in Mogadishu was seeking an outcome in line with international law and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
