As if Somalia didn't have enough problems already, on March 1 state-owned Emirati company DP World announced that Ethiopia's government had purchased a 19 percent stake in the Port of Berbera in Somaliland, a breakaway territory without international recognition. The deal is advantageous to landlocked Ethiopia , which is in serious need of port access. But the government of Somalia, which views Somaliland as its sovereign territory, has already publicly spoken out against the deal, claiming it violates international law. Somalia's leadership is in a difficult position as it attempts to oppose the port deal. The country's clan society and long-running civil war already present huge challenges to Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, popularly known as Farmajo. Now about a year into office, Farmajo has become so bogged down by clan dynamics that there have been serious assaults against his government and attempts to remove his prime minister from power.
