Ethiopian Foreign Minister Taye Aztke Selassie expressed concern that the supply of ammunition by "external forces would further exacerbate the fragile security and would end up in the hands of terrorists in Somalia," according to the Ethiopian News Agency.The statement follows reports that an Egyptian warship sent a cache of weapons, including artillery and anti-aircraft guns, to Somalia earlier this week. He also emphasized Ethiopia's "continued efforts" in the fight against terrorism and stressed the importance of deliberating on all aspects of the mission before deciding on any post-African Union Transitional Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) arrangement. This includes its mandate, size, funding, and coordination.On Tuesday, Somalia accused Ethiopia of arms smuggling, saying the alleged weapons could end up in the hands of Islamist militants.
