The meeting will follow “Ethiopia’s illegal MoU [Memorandum of Understanding] with the Somaliland region, which violates Somalia’s sovereignty & territorial integrity, posing a threat to regional peace and security,” Aweis said on X.
The council said on the UN’s website that the session will discuss “peace and security in Africa” and “other matters”.
It will also discuss the situations in Sudan and South Sudan in a separate session on Monday.
The deal between Ethiopia and Somaliland, signed on January 1, has raised the ire of Somalia after the self-declared republic agreed to grant Addis Ababa much-sought access to the Red Sea.
In return, Ethiopia said it would recognize Somaliland’s independence, angering Somalia, which has condemned the pact as a violation of its sovereignty.
Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud told Al Jazeera earlier this month that there would be “a problem at a different level” if Ethiopia implements the agreement.
Under the memorandum of understanding signed on January 1, Somaliland agreed to lease Ethiopia 20 kilometers of coastland on the Gulf of Aden for 50 years for commercial and military use.
But Hassan Sheikh Mohamud told Al Jazeera on January 23 that that would be a wrong step on the part of Ethiopia.
“So far Ethiopians haven’t come into Somalia. If they will, then that will be a problem at a different level,” he said.
“This is a piece of land that belongs to Somalia and [we] will never yield to whatever pressure that comes on it,” he added.
The Somali president also disclosed to Al Jazeera that he discussed the deal with his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah el-Sisi during a trip to Cairo earlier this month.
“We haven’t discussed the Egyptian military coming to Somalia and we believe that the problem has not reached [that point] yet,” he said.
“And that’s why we’re warning [Ethiopia]: don’t do it, please.”
Landlocked Ethiopia has relied on its neighbors for its imports and exports since Eritrea seceded in the early 1990s.
Its deal with Somaliland, which is internationally considered part of Somalia, has been widely condemned, including by the Arab League and Egypt.
