Adiss Ababa - In collaboration with the Somaliland people, has made Somaliland and its vicinity unsafe haven to terrorist groups and anti-peace elements.
This was said by the Ethiopian Ambassador to Somaliland
Brigadier General Berhe Tesfay during an interview with waltainfo.com in Addis
Ababa where he also said that Ethiopia has sacrificed a lot to help the
Somaliland people to free the area from terrorists and anti-peace groups.
In collaboration with both the Somaliland and the
Ethiopian people, insecurity problems are now under control.
"Previously the area was a safe heaven to terrorists
and anti-peace elements." Brigadier General Berhe said, now it has become
uncomfortable for those groups who want to destabilize the area."
According to the ambassador, the efforts exerted by the
Ethiopian government to bring lasting peace in Africa in general and the Horn
Region in particular has emanated from the country's peace policy.
He also forwarded his appreciation to the people of
Somaliland for their irreplaceable contribution in providing the necessary
information and cooperating in the struggle against those terrorists in the
area.
The people of Somaliland is enthusiastic to maintain the
already guaranteed peace and stability in the area, he emphasized.
"Awareness creation trainings, conferences and
public meetings were conducted." He said adding, "Those forums
enabled to raise the alertness of the people on the significance of peace for
regional development.
The people of Somaliland have comprehended that not only
the reinforcement of lasting peace but also the realization of sustainable
economic development in any country in the region is so vital to the Somaliland
and vice versa.
He also confirmed that Ethiopia will continue its
tremendous efforts to maintain the already thriving peace in collaboration with
the administration and people of Somaliland.
This initiation for lasting peace both in Ethiopia and
countries in the region with high sacrifices emanated from the country's need
to pull itself out of the quagmire of poverty, Brigadier General Berhe said.
Having guaranteed peace and stability in Somaliland,
Ethiopia has also been working to strengthen trade and investment relations
between the two countries, WIC learnt.
It's encouraging that fresh Ethiopian products reach the
Somaliland people; however, there should be two way trade transactions between
the two people so that both could benefit mutually, the Conciliate General
said.
"So far, a few number of Ethiopian investors have
also invested in Somaliland particularly in the education sector." He said
adding, "Further efforts will be made to attract more Ethiopian investors
to Somaliland."
