Ethiopia reopens embassy in Somalia after 30 years

Ethiopia reopened its embassy in Somalia today for the first time since the countries fought a war 30 years ago, cementing the nations' ties as Somalia tries to stave off an Islamic insurgency.

Ethiopian Foreign Minister Seyoum Mesfin said the new embassy, a freshly painted two-story building near the presidential palace in Mogadishu, was an important landmark for both nations.
