Somalia Expels Ethiopian Diplomat Amid Dispute Over Port Plans

Somalia ordered an Ethiopian envoy to leave within 72 hours amid growing tensions between the neighboring countries.

Ali Mohamed Adan, a counselor at the embassy in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, was asked to leave after engaging in “activities incompatible with his diplomatic role,” including intervening in state affairs, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday. It didn’t provide further details.
