Egypt, Somalia, and Eritrea Forge Alliance Amidst Ethiopia TensionsASMARA, Eritrea - In a significant diplomatic move, Egypt, Somalia, and Eritrea have solidified their alliance, escalating regional tensions primarily directed against Ethiopia. Somalia, feeling its sovereignty threatened by Ethiopia's recognition of Somaliland, has found common cause with Egypt, leading to increased military cooperation. Notably, Egypt has begun deploying military equipment and personnel to Somalia, not only to bolster its military but also as a strategic message to Ethiopia. The Eritrean President, known for his reserved foreign policy, sees this alliance as a means to counterbalance Ethiopia's regional maneuvers. Such an alliance could reshape the geopolitical dynamics of the Horn of Africa, influencing everything from trade routes to military alliances.
