Ethiopia and Somalia agree to end bitter Somaliland port feud

Ethiopia and Somalia have agreed to end their bitter dispute over Addis Ababa's plans to build a port in the breakaway republic of Somaliland following talks in Turkey.
 
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan welcomed the historic agreement.
 
At the press conference he held hands with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, who both agreed to respect one another's sovereignty.
 
The two neighbours have been at loggerheads since January when Ethiopia signed a maritime deal with Somaliland which Somalia considers part of its territory.
