Ethiopia has recently accused Egypt and Somalia of attempting to destabilize the country. These allegations appear amidst a backdrop of tensions over various regional and political issues.
On Wednesday, Ethiopia issued a statement expressing concern at the arrival of two military aircraft from Egypt in Somalia.
Furthermore, Ethiopia’s accusations are likely tied to its ongoing disagreements with Egypt over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on the Nile River.
Egypt has consistently voiced concerns about how the dam will affect its water supply, and diplomatic tensions have occasionally escalated.
Somalia’s involvement in this accusation could relate to its strategic alliances or diplomatic engagements with Egypt, which Ethiopia may perceive as threatening its security or regional influence.
These accusations add another layer of complexity to the already delicate geopolitical relations in the Horn of Africa, where issues like cross-border terrorism, political instability, and competition for resources continue to shape the landscape.
