(SomaliNet) Ethiopia may withdraw its troops from Somalia before Somalia’s transitional federal government stabilizes and begins functioning, the Financial Times reported, citing Prime Minister Meles Zenawi.
Ethiopian Premier’s remarks signal a policy shift because Ethiopia has previously said it will remain in Somalia until the interim government is in control, the London-based newspaper said.
Ethiopia's withdrawal from Somalia while it remains lawless and violent may result in the state falling into a deeper crisis, the daily said. Ethiopia is closer to withdrawing its troops than at any time in the past, the FT said, citing unidentified analysts. –Bloomberg
