(MENAFN - SomTribune) ..Ethiopia is trying to turn the international and African community against Egypt by showing that the Ethiopian people are treated unjustly. Katou stressed that the Ethiopian statements are inaccurate and there is no truth to the rumor that Egypt is working to establish a military base in Somaliland. No Egyptian or Somali official has made a statement about establishing an Egyptian military base in Somalia, he added. Although there are several foreign military bases in Djibouti, Ethiopia sees an Egyptian military base in Somalia as a threat to its security, he said. Ezzedine said that Egypt will not opt for military intervention in the GERD crisis with Ethiopia, despite its army's strength.
