Somalia-Ethiopia border conflicts

The Somalia-Ethiopia border conflicts stem from historical, ethnic, and political tensions. Primarily, the disputes revolve around the Ogaden region, largely inhabited by ethnic Somalis and claimed by Somalia. Ethiopia has long controlled this area, which has led to clashes and insurgencies. Both countries have experienced civil wars and political instability, exacerbating the disputes. Additionally, resource competition and national pride play roles in the conflict. Although there have been attempts at peace, underlying issues related to governance, identity, and territorial claims continue to fuel tensions between Somalia and Ethiopia.
