Balancing national priorities Ethiopia's Ankara Declaration and its implications for diplomatic success
Abstract
The Ankara Declaration, signed between Ethiopia and Somalia on December 11, 2024, with Turkish mediation, represents a pivotal step in addressing longstanding regional disputes in the Horn of Africa. Rooted in the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and cooperative security, the declaration aims to foster stability through multilateralism, intelligence-sharing, and joint economic initiatives. Turkey’s strategic mediation, leveraging economic investments and cultural ties, underscores its growing influence in regional conflict resolution. While the declaration offers Ethiopia a platform to bolster its diplomatic standing and economic recovery, challenges such as territorial disputes, extremist threats, and external geopolitical pressures persist. Therefore, sustained commitment and inclusive governance are crucial to translate the accord’s aspirations into lasting peace and collaboration.
