United States special envoy for the Horn of Africa Jeffrey Feltman voiced that Ankara and Washington have a shared goal of stability and prosperity in the Horn of Africa in a visit to discuss international support for diplomatic efforts to end the conflict in Ethiopia. A statement by the U.S. Embassy in Turkey Wednesday said: "The U.S. and Turkey continue discussions within the framework agreed to by President Biden and President Erdoğan." Feltman discussed the Horn of Africa with Deputy Foreign Minister Sedat Önal. Erdoğan highlighted that Turkey values Ethiopia’s peace and stability and that Ankara is ready to provide all types of assistance to ensure it. The U.S. and others have warned that Africa’s second-most populous country could fracture and destabilize the Horn of Africa.
