Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has stated that Egypt will not allow any threat to Somalia's security. This declaration comes after Ethiopia considered recognizing an independence claim by Somaliland, which would grant it access to a sea port. President Sisi affirmed Egypt's rejection of the agreement between Ethiopia and Somaliland, emphasizing Egypt's unwavering support for Somalia's security and its rejection of any external threat to Somalia. The solidarity between Egypt and Somalia serves as a counter to Ethiopia's ambitions in the Red Sea region. President Sisi's remarks have sparked a diplomatic row and prompted Somalia's President to seek support from Qatar. The situation has raised concerns about the potential destabilization of the Horn of Africa.
“We haven’t discussed the Egyptian military coming to Somalia and we believe that the problem has not reached [that point] yet,” the Somali president said. “And that’s why we’re warning [Ethiopia]: don’t do it, please.” https://t.co/7BpX6iMTgK
